This adds a new class which allows to create type safe resource handle
types. At the moment, the engine uses ints pretty much everywhere for
providing handles to resources created by the specific subsystems. Since
all ints are the same to the C/C++ typesystem it is perfectly legal to
pass a sound handle to the graphics API as a buffer handle which will
obviously cause issues.
This adds a new type called "ID" which is a wrapper class for a generic
handle but with added type safety. An instance of this class cannot be
passed to a function expecting another type of handle which provided
compile-time type safety for these APIs.
As an initial test I converted the game sound handles to this new type.
I already found a bug in the mainhall system thanks to this new type.
The mainhall used the game sound handles as sound instance handles which
probably meant that that specific code never really worked right. I
removed the code since there was no better alternative for fixing it.
All transformations are now handled by shaders so there is nothing
special going on in the graphics API specific code anymore. Since model
uniform buffers require access to these matrices I moved the matrix
handling out of the graphics API code.
The generated shields did not respect the display offset specified in
the table so they were drawn out of the clipping bounds of the gauge
which meant that they were not visible. This fixes that by respecting
the specified display offset when rendering the shield icons.
The codebase had quite a few instances of .size() being called and then checked to see if it was 0 or not (or less than 1, or greater-than-or-equal-to 1, which are basically equivalent), when .empty() could be called instead (negated or not, depending on what the original condition was).
This introduces a new mechanism for handling bit flags. Instead of using an int (or two, or three) to write bits into, this uses the std::bitset in a wrapper class that accepts an enum class as input. This means that certain classes of errors we've had a few of in the engine, where a coder used the wrong set of flags or checked them against the wrong variable (SF_STEALTH vs SIF_STEALTH, for example) can now be detected at a compiler level rather than not at all.
Also includes support for more than two mainhall resolutions, zooming
so one mainhall can adapt to multiple resolutions, setting new mainhall
fonts, help overlays for all resolutions and adjustable tooltip padding.
Also allows preload screens to be any resolution & aspect ratio.
