Emplace does not replace existing element, insert_or_assign does.
While at it:
- Clean up the 'outdated' logic and reuse it for actors
- When an actor fails to load, return a placeholder. This improves
hotloading of broken actors, and makes Cunit behaviour more predictable.
- Some minor cleanup

To render models, we need to know the maximum bounds it takes over the
course of an animation. This depends only on the ModelDef and the
AnimationDef (and thus the SkeletonDef).
Currently, we recompute this data for each model, which is inefficient.
Caching it in ModelDef is faster, particularly avoiding lag spikes at
game start on some maps.
The animations are referred by a unique ID to avoid pointer-related
issues. I would have preferred weak_ptr, but that cannot be stably
hashed for now.
While at it, switch to unique_ptr/vectors.

(Follows 76acc4e146 where I deleted actor.rnc)
This deletes the .rnc validation files, upgrading the .rng files to
being the source of truth.
- The engine uses, via LibXML2, .rng files to validate XML schemas, to
the .rnc files are redundant.
- The RelaxNG "Compact" format is a DSL for the RelaxNG XML format. Its
syntax is unique, unlike .rng files which are XML.
- Some errors are likely - I'm not sure anyone has converted the compact
files in years.
- The tool to generate .rng from .rnc files is trang
(https://github.com/relaxng/jing-trang), which runs on the JVM and is
quite annoying to install compared to "your usual text editor".
- The JS components use the full .rng format in XML, so editing this
format is already familiar to most people that mod the game.
The .rnc files were added in 2c9939ac74 along the .rng files.

Essentially reverts D1918 / d592bf9cb6.
Instead of copying path requests to workers, setup the result vector,
then setup an index, and compute 'in-place'.
To send messages, the result vectors are read in order. This makes the
order trivially constant no matter how many workers there are, and the
architecture overall makes it much easier to efficiently paralellise.

This changes ParamNode to use UTF8 values internally (XMB files are UTF8
since cb9d0733ef).
This removes the need for a lot of conversions, speeding things up and
allows cleaning up the validator interface & a few other callsites.
ConstructJSVal could be a tad slower because of UTF8->16 conversions
within Spidermonkey; but the difference is unlikely to be noticeable in
practica.
Also:
- Changes `ToXML` to `ToXMLString` for clarity.
- Add a simple "op" test & show a particular behaviour of merge nodes

This finishes 7c04ea0211 and 1b67a079fb.
GUI Proxy objects are now easier to specialize, code duplication is
reduced, code is made safer.
In details:
- the proxy private is always the IGUIObject* pointer
- the private data is accessed through a safer wrapper
- CreateJSObject returns an opaque type to allow easier extension &
prevent errors.
- The implementation of CreateJSObject is moved near the GUI Proxy
template instantiation, and both are wrapped in a convenient macro (this
makes it so that if you use the macro, you can't forget to overload the
method, and vice-versa).
- The common IGUIObject JS interface no longer needs to be repeated.
- All specialisations are again put in the same file, for improved
compile-time & clarity, given there are so few lines now.
- While at it, implement toSource which makes it possible to `uneval`
components (does the same as toString though).

- Allows compositing any two templates in TemplateLoader, and not just
filters: 'A|B|C' is now valid for any template A, B and C.
- Allows parents to be composited paths 'A|B|C'. In such a schema, if A
or B themselves specify a parent, the actual composition becomes
A|pA|B|pB|C and so on.
This allows, by leveraging the common schema of our entities, to reduce
duplication.
For convenience, templates in "special/filters/" and "mixins/" can be
included by their direct name. Others have to be completely specified.
See the two provided cases for examples:
- 'hoplite' becomes a mixin that can be used to apply the Phalanx
formation
- 'builder' becomes a mixin that can be give a template the ability to
build the standard structures, and gives the 'Builder' identity class.
This also allows deduplicating that list of tokens.
Update checkrefs & swap std::map for std::unordered_map in
TemplateLoader.

This was SVN commit r25222.
An actor file, as referenced by the VisualActor, can now define
different actors for different "quality level" setting.
In this initial version, the quality is handled directly by the object
manager.
Actor format impact:
- '<qualitylevels>' may be used as the root node, containing actor nodes
as children.
- such actor nodes can refer to a file, or to an inline actor, or
simply be inlined.
- such actor nodes may have a 'quality' attribute, specifying the
maximum quality level of this actor. By default, 255 (the maximum) is
implied.
- The actor format remains valid, but 'groups', 'variants', 'material',
'castshadow' and 'float' can be given a [minquality, maxquality[ range
via XML attributes. Outside of this range, the XML node is ignored
(making it possible to define, in a single actor file, several quality
levels).
Quality is a 0-255 value, with:
- Range 0-99 intended for lower level-of-detail actors (billboards,
etc.)
- Range 100-200 the 'normal' range for models. 100 is "low", 150
"medium", and 200 "high".
- Range 201-255 used for higher quality actors that might be used for
e.g. cinematics.
The range is wide to make it easier to add intermediate levels in the
future and it seemed easier given that an integer value of some kind was
required anyways.
Engine impacts:
- A new CActorDef class is introduced, wrapping an art/actors XML file
and its different quality levels. ObjectBase remains the definition of a
given 'actor', now at a given quality level.
- CActorDef imposes a maximal # of quality level for a particular actor
definition (5 currently).
- CUnit is made to refer to an Actor Definition explicitly, not a
particular ObjectBase.
- As a minor optimisation, variation keys are calculated on
pointer-to-sets-of-selections, instead of raw sets-of-selections, as
this reduces copying.
- some refactoring, including better const-correctness and hotloading
support via std::shared_ptr.

This basically does two things:
- Allow turrets on moving entities (fixes serialisation in cmpPos).
- Allow an entity to be present on another when the other is created.
That makes it basically a boiled down version of a prior patch, omitting
the part where orders could be passed on.
This does allow e.g. ranged units on chariots that fire while the
chariot moves.

This was SVN commit r25192.
This is necessary following 2d53308e1b, which now handles key-up in
input to prevent hotkeys from firing then.
Hotkeys are a global system, which means opening e.g. the chat window or
the summary does't reset things. If you press "S" to scroll the in-game
camera down, then press 'return' to open the chat, the camera keeps
scrolling down. Following 2d53308e1b, it never released since it never
got the keyup.
To handle this nicely, we need to explicitly clear hotkeys when input
boxes get focus (respectively the console).

The motion manager introduced in bae258f9a1 makes 'chasing' (e.g. an

This implements a form of crowd movement that I've generally called
'unit pushing' in the last few years.
Essentially, any two units will push each other away when they're too
close. This makes it possible to ignore unit-unit obstructions, and thus
makes movement much smoother in crowds.
This first iteration of this system only allows pushing between idle
units and between moving units (i.e. a moving unit does not affect an
idle one).
This is because the unitMotion logic to detect it is stuck & needs to
use the pathfinders starts breaking: units can fail to move because they
are pushed away from their intended movement, and the current logic
fails to handle this gracefully.
Thankfully, the most value of this patch in terms of player experience
is found in the improvements to group movements and shuttling.
Other impacts:
- As the short pathfinder is called less often, we can increase the
starting search range & reduce the # of max turns, both improving
collision recovery.
- The performance of idle units is slightly worsened, as they must be
checked for idle-idle collisions. If needed a 'sleeping' system, as used
in physics engine, could be implemented.
- In general, however, expect slight performance improvements, as fewer
short paths are computed.
- Gathering efficiency should increase slightly, since shuttling times
are likely reduced slightly.
- As a sanity change to improve some edge cases (units that say they're
moving, i.e. pushable, but don't actually move), the 'going straight'
logic is turned off if a short path has been computed. This requires a
few cascading changes to work correctly.
Technical notes:
- To reduce the cost of the n^2 comparisons that pushing requires, units
are only compared within a small square on a grid which is lazily
reconstructed each turn. The overhead seems rather small, and this is
much simpler than keeping an up-to-date grid.
- The design is intended to be parallelisable if needed someday.
- The pathfinder's CheckMovement ignores moving units in UnitMotion, as
that is now the spec. Idle units are not ignored, which is required for
the 'collision' detection to work correctly (see above).
Refs #3442 (not fixed - idle units are not pushed by moving units).
Fixes#5084 (the overlap can still happen, but units will push each
other away).
