* Applying directional brightness profile value, disconnected spec flags and made specular light always equal to diffuse light
* Switched over to new command line arguments
* Wire lab up to new lighting controls, and provide backwards-compatible defaults for emissive.
* cleanup unused new function
* make static some functions that can be static
* revise command-line and emissive handling
* handled specular sun depreciation and general removal of specular value handling
* Removed specular light color as a separate value in the uniform buffers.
* cleanup of leftover/post-rebase specular references
* further post-rebase repair of light flags command line and leftover specular
* move techroom/selection/breifing 'room' lights to a common function and
augment lighting setup for current rendering
* fixed some mishandling of lighting modifiers.
* Addressed code clarity and comments from review
Removed useless light_ignore_objnum and affected_objnum lighting data, light_add_point_unique() subsequently removed as well, and cleaned up unused parameters.
There is nothing specific to OpenGL in that code anymore since it's all
handled in the shaders at this point. This will make the lighting
information available in the normal graphics code which allows to use
those values when filling the uniform buffer for the model rendering.
This converts the deferred lighting shader to use uniform buffers for
the dynamic data sent to the GPU while rendering the lighting effects.
This doesn't affect performance but the deferred lighting code is a
nicely isolated piece of rendering code where I could test how the
rendering code could use the uniform buffers.
This is related to #910.
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 fixes a few of the bad design descisions of previous shader
iterations. This uses a dedicated class for managing the resources and
uniform locations of a shader program.
Uniforms are also stored in this object which makes a lot more sense
than storing them in the OpenGL state where they had to be reset every
time a new shader was used.
There are still a lot of possible enhancments to make, e.g. by using
uniform blocks and buffers instead of standard uniforms which would make
uniform location handling easier.
Another optimization that I will investigate is reducing the amount or
different compiled shaders by turning some of the current compile-time
defines into bool uniforms.
Routines in the lighting module that do not have any arguments do not
need the 'void' keyword in either their definitions or declarations.

The following global variables from the lighting module were unused
and are being removed:
int cell_shaded_lightmap = -1;
int spec = 0;
