The format is almost identical to CL2, except it uses the frame header
to store frame width and height instead of 5 32-line offsets.
This means we always have access to frame dimensions, so we can use it
as an on-disk format for our graphics as well.
Additionally, we may be able to optimize the rendering even more
in the future now that we have guaranteed knowledge of frame dimensions.
Convert CEL files to CL2 at load time. CL2 format is more efficient and is about as fast to render.

Memory:
* Peak memory (while loading): -300 KiB
* Memory in-game (dLvl5): -700 KiB
* RG99 binary size: -15 KiB (1333096 -> 1317192)
Performance on rg99:
* On average, -1 FPS in town.
* Same FPS in dungeon (20 FPS on dLvl 1).
Adds simple string / integer concatenation functions.
Many of the uses of `fmt::format` are simply concatenation
of a few strings and integers.
`StrCat` is an easier-to-read alternative to such uses of `fmt`.
This cleans up a bit of code and solves a few edge cases where an item
could be lost, the game be unresponsive, or miss fire an event during
lag cause of the cursor not reflecting the currently held item.
* Move declaration of dItems to items.cpp
This array is never used in dungeon generation, it's closely related to Items so should be kept together. Ideally managing dItems can become responsibility of a container for Items, which will handle adding/removing items from the list and keeping the positions in sync.
* Rename SetPlrHandItem to match purpose/use
* Give more descriptive name to GetPlrHandSeed
This function sets a new seed on a given item struct, not just the held item.
* Don't use HoldItem as a temporary for the players initial inventory
* Take Item by reference in RespawnItem
* Don't use holdItem as a temporary when dropping gold on death
* Update DeadItem to take item by reference, and refer to it consistently
Move code which invalidates the source of dropped items to the caller
Most call sites use a temporary item instance or remove the item from the container, so there's no real point invalidating the item after it's been copied to the drop list.
Update DeadItem to take position instead of player references
Makes `CelSprite` unowned and adds a new `OwnedCelSprite` class for
owned sprites.
This clarifies ownership and makes the code cleaner in a number of
places.
Additionally, because the `CelSprite` class is now tiny (1 less
pointer), we can pass it by-value instead of by-reference, removing a
pointer indirection in the rendering functions.
The other use of dObject is displaying the contents of that array so makes sense to leave as is. We're also able to remove the map since we can reference the current object type value directly on the returned object.
