* make all legacy light modes except 'Doom' MAPINFO only. A CVAR still exists for testing but its value won't be saved to the config.
* user can only select between "performance', 'software' and 'vanilla'. 'performance' is the old 'Doom' mode which is still needed to speed things up on low end hardware.
* MAPINFO can not enforce any of the two software light modes, as low end users require the option to change this to the 'performance' setting. Selecting one will always revert to the user's light mode selection.

- Increase default particles to 10k, and increase the slider to 65k (engine limit)

This also adds the `r_actorspriteshadowalpha` and `r_actorspriteshadowfadeheight`
cvars for greater control (only effective in hardware renderers).
These are set to 0.5 and 0 by default, which means this fading behavior
is disabled by default.
When enabled, this has two benefits:
- It becomes easier for the player to judge an entity's height since
the shadow opacity now gives this information.
- Entities that are far high above the ground no longer cast a shadow,
which looked strange.
