* Decouples settings logically which in turn allows fixing many problems
arising from previous coupling.
* Fixes the persist-match-settings feature, refs #2963, refs #3049.
* Improves performance of the matchsetup by rebuilding GUI objects only
when necessary.
Provides groundwork for:
* UI to control per-player handicap, such as StartingResources,
PopulationCap, StartingTechnologies, DisabledTechnologies,
DisabledTemplates, ..., refs #812.
* Map specific settings (onMapChange event), refs #4838.
* Chat notifications announcing which settings changed, refs D1195,
* Multiple controllers setting up the game (since setting types can
check for permissions in onUpdateGameAttributes without the need for a
new data model or a second gamesetup data network message type), refs
#3806, subsequently dedicated server, refs #3556.
* MapBrowser (MapCache, MapTypes, onUpdateGameAttributes interface),
refs D1703 and D1777,
* Multiplayer saved games (decoupling and setting dependent unique
logic), refs #1088.

Enable maps to restrict setting values:
* If a map specifies an AI or Civs for a playerslot, the controller
can't assign a player/other AI or Civ to that slot, refs #3049, #3013.
Fix per player StartingResources, PopulationCap, StartingTechnologies,
DisabledTechnologies, DisabledTemplates following 9177683653, refs #812,
fixes#4504. Use this for DisabledTechnologies on Polar Sea.
Persist user settings for Skirmish maps:
* All user chosen settings are persisted when changing the selected map
or maptype,
except where the selected map overwrites the setting value and
except for Scenario maps which still use the default value where the
map doesn't specify the setting value.
* Tickets relating to that Skirmish mapchange user setting persistance:
- Selecting a map doesn't change the selected civilizations, fixes
#3120 (together with 7cf83f19fd removing map specified Civs).
- Selecting a map type doesn't reset the selected settings, fixes
#5372.
- Selecting a map doesn't change the selected victory conditions,
unless the map specifies those, refs #4661, #3209. (Atlas still writes
VictoryConditions to every map.)
- Consume the player color palette from Skirmish maps, refs 4996d28110
/ #1580. Preserve the selected playercolors when switching the
Skirmish/Random map by chosing the most similar colors if the map comes
with a different palette.
Rated games:
* Hide and disable Rated game setting unless there are exactly two
players, fixes#3950, supersedes D2117.
* Display conspicuous warning if the game is rated, so players are
perfectly aware.
Autostarted games:
* Allow using the gamesetup page to autostart matches with arbitrary
maps, not only this one tutorial, as reported in D194 and 15e2b42525,
refs D11.
Networking:
* Keep gamesetup page open after disconnect, allowing players to read
chat messages indicating why the host stopped the server, fixes#4114.
* The message subscription system allows new and mod settings to run
custom logic on arbitrary setting changes (most importantly on map
change).
This removes hardcoded logic restrictions from the gamesetup option
unification rewrite in b4e5858f6d/D322, refs #3994,
such as the hardcoding of setting references in selectMap to biomes
from f2550705d3/D852 and the difficulty from 9daa7520ef/D1189,
RelicDuration, WonderDuration, LastManStanding, RegicideGarrison,
TriggerScripts, CircularMap, Garrison, DisabledTemplates.
Checkboxes:
* Display values of disabled checkboxes with Yes/No labels, fixes D2349,
reviewed by nani.
Clean g_GameAttributes of invalid values and gamesetup GUI temporaries,
refs #3049, #3883:
* Delete useless values:
- VictoryScripts, because they are redundant with TriggerScripts,
introduced in 8915037631.
- mapType which was written twice to g_GameAttributes following
9177683653
- Description, Keywords, Preview since that doesn't impact simulation
and can be loaded from the MapCache
- mapFilter, mapPath, SupportedBiomes, SupportedTriggerDifficulties
since they are only used in the gamesetup
* Delete conditional values if the condition is not met:
- AIDiff, AIBehavior if there is no AI in that slot
- Nomad and Size if the maptype is not Random
- Biome, TriggerDifficulty if the map doesn't support that
- WonderDuration, RegicideGarrison, RelicCount, RelicDuration if the
according VictoryConditions are not enabled
- LastManStanding if TeamsLocked
- Rating if there are more than 2 players
MapCache:
* Refactor to MapCache class, store maps of all types and use it in the
replaymenu, lobby and session as well.
SettingTabsPanel:
* Remove hardcodings and coupling of the SettingTabsPanel with
biomes/difficulties/chat UI from D1027/ac7b5ce861.
GamesetupPage.xml:
* Restructure the page to use hierarchical object organization
(topPanel, centerPanel, centerLeftPanel, bottomPanel, centerCenterPanel,
centerRightPanel, bottomLeftPanel, bottomRightPanel), allowing to
deduplicate object position margins and size math and ease navigation.
New defaults:
* Check LockedTeams default in multiplayer (not only rated games).
* Persist the rated game setting instead of defaulting to true when
restarting a match, which often lead to unintentional rated games when
rehosting.
* 60 FPS in menus since they are animated
Autocomplete sorting fixed (playernames should be completed first).
Refactoring encompasses the one proposed in Polakrity and bb D1651.
