This patch allows techs to optionally define a property "placeBelow"
specifying a combination of class requirements. The selection panel then
tries to place their research button below the training button whose
unit matches these classes -- if there is only and exactly one.
This is useful for techs only affecting a single type of unit: it e.g.
allows always placing the fishing nets research button below the fishing
boats training button.
To prevent duplicating information in "placeBelow" (e.g. from
"affects"), it can also be set to two magic values: "{AffectedUnit}" and
"{UnlockedUnit}". In practice, many techs use those, but class
combination remain useful for granular control in very specific cases.
Regarding tech pairs, as explained in a comment, their two research
buttons can now be placed in three different arrangements (with
descending preference):
1. Vertically below a single training button.
2. Horizontally below two adjacent training buttons.
3. Horizontally adjacent in the bottom row (below no training buttons).
Vertically in the third and fourth rows (below no training button) --
how it was previously -- is no longer done as it'd conflict with and
doesn't fit the new layout and the clear separation between "generic"
and "specific" techs.
Whenever a research button can't be placed in their preferred location
because it is already occupied, the code simply falls back to the default
position in the bottom row.
This patch also adds a new game option to hide the new small arrows above
the research buttons in order to give more experienced players who already
know the techs well the possibility to reduce visual clutter. By
default, the arrows are shown.
This removes the `lobby.tls` option from the in-game settings, as
connecting to the official lobby without TLS isn't possible anymore. The
`lobby.tls` setting itself stays available for debugging purposes and
can still be set via the command line or in the user.cfg configuration
file.
This patch gives observers the possibility to see and send flares.
Players keep their color after resigning and "true" observers flare in white.
Observers render all flares; the ones sent by any player or observer.
Player continue to only see their allies' flares.
The flare notification option is converted into a dropdown.
-> adding the possibility to only receive them as observer.
- Players now receive flare chat notifications mentioning the sender's name.
- Clicking the notification moves the camera to the flare's location.
- The feature can be toggled in the game options and is enabled by default.
Fixes#6212
The category 'Game Session' didn't have any more space for upcoming new
entries.
Changes:
-Split 'Game Session' into 'Display', 'Chat & Notifications', and
'Gameplay'.
-Move some options out of 'General'.
-Updated the option categories' and some individual options' tooltips.
Gray out the "Cutoff distance" slider on the "Graphics (advanced)" tab
of the game settings screen when this distance is ignored because the
"Cover whole map" configuration option is ON.
Avoid cases of filenames
Update years in terms and other legal(ish) documents
Don't update years in license headers, since change is not meaningful
Will add linter rule in seperate commit
Happy recompiling everyone!

This was SVN commit r25581.
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 was SVN commit r25210.
Observers no longer lag the game for players. There is still some time
to serialise the game when sending it to a joining observer, and
depending on the chosen 'max lag' the game may stop while observers
sufficiently catch up, but this impact too is reduced.
- Make the NetServerTurnManager ignore players marked as 'observers' for
the purpose of ending a turn, effectively making it possible for
observers to lag without it affecting the players in any way.
- Add a config option (network.observermaxlag) that specifies how many
turns behind the live game observers are allowed to be. Default to 10
turns, or 2 seconds, to keep them 'largely live'.
- The controller is not treated as an observer.
- Implement a simple UI to show this delay & allow the game to speed up
automatically to try and catch up. This can be deactivated via
network.autocatchup.
- Move network options to the renamed 'Network / Lobby' options page.
- Do not debug_warn/crash when receiving commands from the past -
instead warn and carry on, to avoid DOS and "coop play" issues.

- Add an option to control the 'null formation' override, so it can be
turned off/on independently of having a default formation set. It
defaults to "Walk/Patrol only".
- Make only 'walk' and 'patrol' orders use the default formation.
This makes the system more flexible, and easier to use for competitive
play.
