Retrieves the Loot Method and (if applicable) Master Looter identity.

lootmethod, masterlooterPartyID, masterlooterRaidID = GetLootMethod()

lootmethod: String (LootMethod) - One of 'freeforall', 'roundrobin', 'master', 'group', 'needbeforegreed'. Appears to be 'freeforall' if you are not grouped.: At least as of 7.3 the possible return values appear to be "freeforall", "master", "group" and "personalloot". "roundrobin" and "needbeforegreed" appear to be deprecated.
masterlooterPartyID: Number - Returns 0 if player is the mater looter, 1-4 if party member is master looter (corresponding to party1-4) and nil if the master looter isn't in the player's party or master looting is not used.
masterlooterRaidID: Number - Returns index of the master looter in the raid (corresponding to a raidX unit), or nil if the player is not in a raid or master looting is not used.
