Rewrote netcode to be more stable and functional. Packet-server mode has been restrategized and will now be the default netmode when playing with 3+ non-LAN players. TryRunTics has been cleaned up with older tick control behavior removed to account for the rewritten renderer. The main thread is now more consistent when playing online to prevent potential slow downs and lock ups. Load barriers are better accounted for to prevent spikes on level transition. Improvements to chat and lobby systems including a force start game button. Added a suite of new host options such as kicking and controlling who can pause the game. Max players increased from 8 to 16 since the new code can now handle it.
Note: Demo functionality is untested. This will be rewritten at a later time alongside improvements to GZDoom's playback features (e.g. freecam mode).
Unique RNG namespace for client-side effects and HUDs. Identifiers for these cannot clash with identifiers that affect the playsim making them completely safe to use in HUD elements. They also won't be saved.
Gives more useful feedback as it's not obvious which node belongs to who.
Added line breaks to network messages for cases where a large amount of players are desynced.
cleaned up function interface to avoid referencing the file system in the worker functions.
replaced StringTable's operators with functions.. The main reason is that these are far easier to look up when browsing the source.
This also fixes a premature translation in SBARINFO that was done in the parsing stage, not the printing stage.

- fix compile
Players will now use their Alternative field to check if they're morphed instead of their MorphTics. This makes the current state of morphing more reliable, otherwise setting this to 0 manually without unmorphing could have very odd results. Both monsters and players consider 0 morph time to mean infinite now (previously this only applied to monsters). Player unmorphs no longer die in the case of a failed unmorph on death. Removed inventory swapping on player pointer substitution as it's too messy to do here.
This solves two problems:
* The linked list is too slow, a map is better. A map cannot be used with statically allocated CVARs because order of initialization is undefined.
* The current CVAR system is an unordered mishmash of static variables and dynamically allocated ones and the means of identification are unsafe. With this everything is allocated on the heap so it can all be handled the same by the cleanup code.
Mainly to avoid problems with Raze, but eliminating this constructor lets us catch erroneous local definitions via 'auto', which can cause major problems if left undetected.
To compensate there is now also a "stat fps" which displays the FPS rate in the lower left corner. This had to go because unconditionally altering positions was causing problems with custom HUDs.
