Adds support for client-side Thinkers, Actors, and ACS scripts (ACS uses the existing CLIENTSIDE keyword). These will tick regardless of the network state allowing for localized client handling and are put in their own separate lists so they can't be accidentally accessed by server code. They currently aren't serialized since this would have no meaning for other clients in the game that would get saved. Other logic like the menu, console, HUD, and particles have also been moved to client-side ticking to prevent them from becoming locked up by poor network conditions. Additionally, screenshotting and the automap are now handled immediately instead of having to wait for any game tick to run first, making them free of net lag.
Imported Behaviors to the engine to allow them to properly clean up their level list. Restrict Behaviors from being new'd in ZScript as they need an owner to function.
Now uses its own self-managed linked list with its level tracking the head pointer. Allows for VisualThinkers to be moved to any desired stat instead of being stuck in STAT_VISUALTHINKER.
Resolves a host of issues related to playing loading, both in singleplayer and multiplayer. Name-based player data selection now works meaning join order no longer has to be preserved.

Revert "Fix for Morph virtual"
This reverts commit 0ef042562e.
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.
- Implemented an FString TArray which goes into save files that saves a model file and path, and when the game is loaded, spits back out the model to be Loaded when loading a save file
While 'block players' was just a simple remap, 'block land monsters' required quite a bit of work...
This also fixes the bug that BLOCK_FLOATERS was never checked for sliding against a wall.
If the loader is allowed to go on, these objects will be linked into game structures and may do unpredictable things before the loader has a chance to abort at the end.
It can now be used from UDMF and ZScript.
To avoid clutter it doesn't allow setting the values individually but requires definition of a data record in TEXTURES.
colorization
{
DesaturationFactor <float>
Invert
AddColor <color>
ModulateColor <color>
BlendColor <color>, <mode> [, <alpha>]
}
Mode for BlendColor can be Alpha (normal translucent blending), as well as 3 special values taken from Build engine games: Screen, Overlay and HardLight.
It makes little sense exposing every minute detail of this through UDMF.
Setting it up that way is far too complicated. Using virtual textures that map to a real texture plus a colorization record should be far easier to use by mappers.
This also doesn't piggyback on the Doom64 color feature anymore and is completely separate, despite some redundancies.
This is still missing the texture definition part, though.
It should be said in no uncertain terms that OnRegister operates on an uninitialized level so it should only be used for setting up the registering process of the event handler itself and nothing else - not even the event handler's data!!!
This didn't behave like an assignment operator so it shouldn't be one, especially since the two places where it got called need different functionality.
It was only used to avoid traversing the list if all sequences were paused which is an exceptional situation.
On the other hand, the way it counted was not correct so rather than fixing it it seemed more appropriate to remove it entirely.
Having everything lumped together made this a maintenance hassle because it affected how the level has to be stored.
This hasn't been tested yet, so it may not work as intended!
currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
