This allows empty actor files -> they map to a dummy object that renders
nothing.
The use case is automatically hiding objects at lower quality levels &
LOD settings.

This was SVN commit r25224.
An actor file, as referenced by the VisualActor, can now define
different actors for different "quality level" setting.
In this initial version, the quality is handled directly by the object
manager.
Actor format impact:
- '<qualitylevels>' may be used as the root node, containing actor nodes
as children.
- such actor nodes can refer to a file, or to an inline actor, or
simply be inlined.
- such actor nodes may have a 'quality' attribute, specifying the
maximum quality level of this actor. By default, 255 (the maximum) is
implied.
- The actor format remains valid, but 'groups', 'variants', 'material',
'castshadow' and 'float' can be given a [minquality, maxquality[ range
via XML attributes. Outside of this range, the XML node is ignored
(making it possible to define, in a single actor file, several quality
levels).
Quality is a 0-255 value, with:
- Range 0-99 intended for lower level-of-detail actors (billboards,
etc.)
- Range 100-200 the 'normal' range for models. 100 is "low", 150
"medium", and 200 "high".
- Range 201-255 used for higher quality actors that might be used for
e.g. cinematics.
The range is wide to make it easier to add intermediate levels in the
future and it seemed easier given that an integer value of some kind was
required anyways.
Engine impacts:
- A new CActorDef class is introduced, wrapping an art/actors XML file
and its different quality levels. ObjectBase remains the definition of a
given 'actor', now at a given quality level.
- CActorDef imposes a maximal # of quality level for a particular actor
definition (5 currently).
- CUnit is made to refer to an Actor Definition explicitly, not a
particular ObjectBase.
- As a minor optimisation, variation keys are calculated on
pointer-to-sets-of-selections, instead of raw sets-of-selections, as
this reduces copying.
- some refactoring, including better const-correctness and hotloading
support via std::shared_ptr.

This was SVN commit r25210.
- Replace ScriptInterface::RegisterFunction with
ScriptFunction::Register
- Mostly removing unused cmpPrivate*
- Some usage introduces specific getters (mapgenerator, AIWorker,
XmppClient,...)
- Several passthrough functions are simply removed in favour of calling
the original, reducing duplication
- Make use of ScriptRequest/ScriptInterface capabilities where
relevant.
- Make JSI_* headers only expose necessary functions, lightening them
considerably and reducing duplication
- Reuse namespaces in JSI_* implementations directly, reducing visual
noise there

Also allows to use compressed vertex formats in future.

This was SVN commit r24870.
The 'arena' allocator does not take memory alignment into account, which
can result in crashes at -O3 with gcc 7.5 (presumably because of SSE
instructions).
This accounts for alignment issues, fixing the issue.
Also do various cleanup in lib/allocators.

This was SVN commit r24517.
- Rename macros to be more explicit
- Move detection code to a separate file
- Remove a lot of checks in ARB mode (ModelDef.cpp would check for sse
multiple times per frame)
- Make explicit the SSE2 dependency for Windows

Fixes eb7940b418.
As reported by Vladislav, there is possibly confusion on what exactly is
being ignored when there are multiple statements after DISCARD. Explicit
wrapping avoids that.

This was SVN commit r24397.
GUIObjectBase is made a IGUIObject* to avoid including those headers
un-necessarily. Subsequent diffs ought to clean up the various of
pointers for that with a similar type with reference semantics.
Also:
- Add standard C and C++ headers (mostly cstring for memcpy, string and
vector) where needed.
- Swap out some includes for forward declarations
- Clean up un-necessary boost includes in precompiled and other headers.
- Clean up precompiled headers, including fewer things.
- Move ACPI to the windows-specific folder as it's included there only
and mostly specific to that platform.
Thanks Stan for the testing.
