Continuity resets load a bunch of small files from disk;
this speeds up the startup precess very slightly if the files
are not in the OS's file cache yet.
This commit introduces a second pause mode:
Full game pause (as in menu), and world pause (as in spirit form).
All related checks are no longer done against WT_* constants,
but against the new world pause which is functionally equivalent,
but more flexible. Continuity::worldType is now only used to toggle
world pause correctly, and to apply some related graphical effects.
The world pause can also be controlled via script without actually
switching forms.
Added Lua functions:
+ node_setSpiritFreeze()
+ quad_setPauseLevel()
+ isWorldPaused()
+ setWorldPaused()
- HTTP networking support, mods can be downloaded via the builtin downloader.
All network activity runs in a seperate thread, which is started
as soon as any network activity is requested.
- The master server is hard-coded to fg.wzff.de/aqmods/ if not specified otherwise;
this setting can be overridden in the config file.
- The mod selector screen is now a grid-view for much better navigation;
also works with joystick.
- VFS code is functionally similar to the old molebox-packed release
for win32. The game could also have its data shipped in a Zip file
or any other kind of archive.
- It is still possible to build without VFS support, but then the mod
downloader and soft-patching will not be available.

The most important commit messages follow:
[...]
This replaces all std::ifstream with InStream, and fopen(), ... with vfopen(), ...
Some code is #ifdef'd for better performance and less memory-copying.
VFILE is defined to whatever type of file is in use:
- FILE if BBGE_BUILD_VFS is not defined
- tttvfs::VFSFile if it is.
Other changes:
- [un]packFile() is now unused and obsolete. That code has not been adjusted to use VFILE.
- glpng can now load from a memory buffer.
- TinyXML uses the VFS for reading operations now.
- The rather clunky binary stream loading of glfont2 got replaced with ByteBuffer,
which gets its data in one block (necessary to use the VFS without implementing
a somewhat STL-compliant std::ifstream replacement.)
-------------
Implement loading mods from zip files.
-------------
Implement soft-patching game data files. (Replacing textures/audio/... on the fly)
-------------
Misc bits:
- Extended GUI focus handling a bit
- Fixed weirdness in texture loading... not sure but this seems more correct to me.
Actually, considering that the texture will have its native size after restarting the game,
the lines removed with this commit seem pretty useless.
This commit introduces pointer checks to various functions;
so that entity_* will no longer crash or produce weird results
if passed a Node pointer, etc.
The checks are disabled by default, but can be enabled in
ScriptInterface.cpp.
Fixed possible crashes in a few more functions due to missing NULL-checks.
There was a "feature" in the single Lua state that it would keep globals
intact until the game was quit. That made any globals from mods "leak"
into the game or other mods. Now it resets the Lua state when a mod
is loaded or closed.
This fixes a bug where loading a normal saved game and then dying in a mod
(or vice versa) would cause the game to attempt loading the save game
in the wrong context, resulting in a blank error map and many
"tile dummy" error messages.
Mods with a <Properties hasWorldMap="1"> tag in their XML definition
can now open a native world map like the original game.
Fixed an oversight that the world map visited area was updated
while the editor was open.
Fixed missing field in worldmap.txt saving.
Removed the limitation that world map tiles had to be 256x256 -
all tile sizes work now.
The game does now read _mods/#/data/stringbank.txt from a mod and merges
it with the main stringbank.txt, and uses _mods/#/data/worldmap.txt
as a full replacement.
Load _mods/#/[map|premap]_mapname.lua scripts to properly
initialize the Naija map token.
Improved the builtin worldmap editor a little.
