Since FSO does not support Unicode characters in filesystem paths on
Windows yet, it is necessary to catch these issues early on and display
an appropriate error message. These changes do that by going through the
path with our UTF-8 decoder and detecting any characters that are out of
the ASCII range.
The intent behind this sort (added in #2094) was to make the order of files returned by the filesystem consistent across platforms; however, the sort occurred not only after the filesystem search, but after the packfile search, which changed the order files load in on all filesystems instead of making it consistent. This moves the sort to be after the filesystem search but before the packfile search, hopefully making load order consistent once more.
When running a mod on non-windows, that isn't packed into VP files, the
mod can break when loading. On non-windows filesystems, the file
order isn't guaranteed to be alphabetical (but it is on Windows).
As a result, we load tables in an effectively random order.
Lots of mods rely on the filesystem ordering to e.g. implement a very
loose dependency system for their lua scripts.

Instead, always sort filesystem listing by name *before* applying the
provided sort order.
I've built a few different versions of this patch, and like this one the
best. The other ones I tried:
1. Adding a `CF_SORT_REVERSE_NAME` and using it everywhere that
`CF_SORT_REVERSE` is used, and replacing all uses of `CF_SORT_NONE` with
`CF_SORT_NAME`. I didn't like this as it was a much larger diff.
2. Adding a `CF_SORT_REVERSE_NAME` to the `scripting.cpp` call for
loading tables. I didn't like this one because this bug can in theory
impact non scripting tables.
Here's a log from Solaris working with the new build:

While it might be a reasonable enhancement in the future to build a proper dependency system for lua scripts and tables,
this is a much smaller and easier change, and doesn't require any work from modders.
The amount of output parameters is becoming quite large which makes it
harder to add new input parameters. For that reason I converted the
existing output parameters to a struct which cleans up the function
signature a lot.
There were some reports that using a newer launcher together with an
outdated launcher was causing some issues since the new launcher would
write the new config file which would cause FSO to ignore the changes of
the old launcher since the new config file already exists.
This fixes that by adding a check for when the config locations were
last modified. On Linux and Mac it checks when the old config locations
were modified last while on Windows it checks the registry to determine
if there was a change after the new config file was created.
This fixes a warning caused by parsing the default ai_profiles table
twice. The default table was moved out of the data/tables folder and
into a special builtin category which will not be included in CFile.
This allows to use more complex file structures in the executable
without requiring that those exist as real files. The rest of the code
does not need to handle the difference between a default file and a real
file anymore which means that it's now possible to embed image files
into the executable since bmpman only needs to use the standard CFile
API.
I added two tests which check if the default file can be found and
opened and if a mod file overrides the default file which should always
be possible.
The flag was previously used to restrict searching of mission files to
the root directory of the mod. Since the SDL merge changed what the
default root directory is (now it's the mod folder in the user folder)
this broke the mission editor and it didn't show any missions anymore.
This fixes that by altering how Skip_packfile_search affects the file
search. Now that causes the search to skip files in VPs but it still
includes all other files that are present on the disk.
I also fixed some inconsistent behavior in the various file enumeration
functions since they weren't doing the same thing.
This changes the original behavior slightly since new files aren't found
in this search since the file list is only initialized when CFile is
started so if a new file is added after that, it is not reflected in the
mission list. Since that is pretty rare we can probably ignore that
here.
This fixes#1224.
Previously, if a mod used an upper case "Data" folder (which is the case
for the Diaspora development files) the file enumeration would fail on
case sensitive platforms (e.g. Linux) since FSO searched for a path with
a lower case "data". These changes make it so that FSO looks for all
instances of the path type name regeardless of case. Since the real path
was also needed elsewhere I added a new cf_file field which stores the
actual path which can then be used by fopen operations.
This fixes#1182.
Since Unix is case senssitive this should make sure that case errors are
cought early in mod development. This is an Error and not a Warning
since a mod with such a folder structure would never work under Unix and
as such it's justified to break mods that currently use this.
The launcher passes the mod folders as relative paths using / as the
directory separator. That path is copied into the cf_root path and when
cf_create_directory tries to create the directory, mkdir_recursive can't
handle the / in the path and tries to create two path elements at once
which is not supported by mkdir.
These changes fix that by converting mod paths to the native format
(from the / format, so it's a No-op on Unix) before using it in
cf_create_root().
This will use SDL_GetPrefPath to determine a suitable config directory which will be used for all runtime writing. Additionally all platforms will now use the configuration ini files, the Windows registry will be deprecated. For better compatibility with current installs there is a "legacy mode" which will work like the current install. It will be used as long as the launcher doesn't write the configuration file to the new location. Migrating old installs requires copying the existing pilot files to the new location and copying any existing configuration data.
