- Delete old and (now) unused examples.
- Renamed textures to the new texture naming standards.
- Adjust unit actor refs for these textures (and improve the look of the
actors where applicable).
- Attempt to set all txt/xml files to EOL-native
This was SVN commit r26329.
This allows the "wololo" cheat to switch units to an arbitrarily defined
player. If no player is specified, it defaults to the player entering
the cheat.
The player manager will warn when using a wrong player number.

This was SVN commit r26328.
(Not with dragging, since that would be hard to use, UX-wise.)
It allows easier debugging; less switching between players.

Introduced in b4fbbed379
Use Date.now() to calculate passed time.
Rewrite to class.
Also actually pass timeout from json.

The patch adds a description from the technology file to tooltip when
hovering over rank icon.
This was SVN commit r26300.
Since the players/civs already have cmpIdentity, use it.
This forces civs to have corresponding XML in the `special/players/`
folder.
Also moves the files from `special/player/` to `special/players/`
consistent with other folders. And moves the generic `player.xml` one
level up.

This was SVN commit r26298.
Reduced resolution of a bunch of unit textures to the consistent 256x256
(and some animals from 1024 to 512)
Introduce some new textures and texture improvements
Begin to introduce some civ folders (that reorganization is coming
later)
Adjust some unit actors to look nicer
This was SVN commit r26295.
This makes it possible to make units heavier, which both push more & get
pushed less by other units.
In particular, the diff does it for siege units & elephants.
This improves movement for these units in crowd situation, since they
will now basically not move when other regular units push into them.

This was SVN commit r26275.
This is a paradigm change for AI computation.
Historically, the AI was intended to be run in a separate thread from
the simulation. The idea was that slow AI wouldn't stop the renderer
from being smooth.
In that original design, the AI received a copy of the game world and
used that to run its logic. This meant the simulation could safely do
whatever it wanted in the meantime. This copy was done via AIProxy &
AIInterface.
This design ended up having significant flaws:
- The copying impacts the simulation negatively, particularly because
AIProxy subscribes to a lot of messages (sometimes sent exclusively to
it). This time cannot be threaded, and impacts MP games without AIs.
- Copying the data is increasingly difficult. Modifiers are a headache,
LOS is not implemented. Lots of logic is duplicated.
The intended benefits of the design also failed to realise somewhat:
- The AI was never threaded, and in fact, it is probably better to try
and thread Sim + AI from the renderer than just the AI, at which point
threading the AI specifically brings little benefit.
The new design is much simpler and straighforward, but this has some
side-effects:
- The AI can now change the simulation. This can be used for cheating,
or possibly for a tutorial AI.
- The AI runs in the same GC zone as the simulation, which may lead to
more frequent Sim GCs (but overall we might expect a reduction in
temporary objects).
- The AI state was essentially cached, so replacing some functions with
Engine.QueryInterface might be slower. The tradeoff should be balanced
by lower AIProxy computation times.
Future work:
- Threading some specific AI tasks could still be worthwhile, but should
be done in specific worker threads, allowed to run over several turns if
needed.
Technical note: the AI 'global' is in its own Realm, which means name
collisions with the same are not possible.
Other notes:
- The RL Interface uses the AI Interface and thus will gradually lose
some data there. Given that the RL Interface can now request data
however, this should be dine.
