Optionally let actor templates define their own anchor types.
These override the default value defined in the template.
Useful for actors without their own entity template.

This commit primarily corrects an inaccurate comment and resolves a
hidden bug in the VisualActor shadow logic, while preserving the current
behavior.
Previously, the DisableShadows option removed both casting and receiving
shadows. However, the internal logic ignored this setting in some cases,
causing shadows to appear even when explicitly disabled in XML
templates.
This change introduces the ability to control CastShadows and
ReceiveShadows independently via template settings, defaulting both to
true unless explicitly specified.
In addition, previews are updated to receive shadows but not cast them,
improving visual volume effects without affecting lighting behavior.
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

This was SVN commit r27786.
The UnitManager already lists all units, so we do not need to go through
the visual actor of entities to update them. This is faster and
decouples simulation & graphics code slightly.
Further, the simulation does not need to know about texture changes (see
also 410d2e883a), so remove those calls in Atlas.

Bug introduced in 76acc4e146.
The previous CUnit code had logic to select random aesthetic variants
once initially. The new code removed that, as I completely missed its
purpose, assuming that the random selection, being based on a seed,
would pick the same variants every time. This is incorrect because
entity selections can change the RNG calls, thus the variants, and thus
entity appearance can change when the animation changes (typically, a
horse will change color when walking and running).
The solution is to re-introduce the choice of actor selections on CUnit
creation. This makes sure that units don't change their purely-aesthetic
selections when e.g. animations change.

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- Clean up the 'outdated' logic and reuse it for actors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

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
that I intend to change somewhat in D3830.
- Remove Component.h from simulation2 PCH - brought in too much.

This was SVN commit r25228.
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.
Fixes a1dc9cadd8: if the speed doesn't change, UnitMotion doesn't update
the visual actor. Unfortunately, if another component has in the
meantime reset the animation to 'Idle', the unit will now move while
Idle. This can happen when leaving formation to do something else,
though it'srare.
This fixes that by instead always calling VisualActor, which does its
own checking to avoid redundancy. It's a bit less efficient, but not too
much.
Note that this relies on UnitMotion::UpdateMovementState being called
after any UnitAI code that could reset the animation to IDLE.

This was SVN commit r18823.
Using references matches the C++ coding style better and should improve
performance a bit in theory. It avoids 2 copies of T in case of the
functions registered with RegisterFunction (mainy used in the GUI). It
should also avoid one or two copies in case of
DEFINE_INTERFACE_METHOD_X, which is used in the simulation, but I
haven't bothered to count it there exactly.
It is now predefined which types have to be passed by const reference
and which are passed by value. Note that references can't be used as
out-parameters (to return multiple values to JS). This hasn't worked
before either and probably never will.

Instead of each CCmpVisualActor rendering itself individually, collect
all the units in a single CCmpUnitRenderer. This avoids the overhead of
doing Interpolate/RenderSubmit calls every frame for every object in the
world. It also allows more efficient culling.
CCmpUnitRenderer knows the positions of each object at the start and end
of each turn, and computes the bounding sphere of the object along that
path. That allows quick culling without recomputing the precise
interpolated transform every frame. (In the future it could be improved
much more.)
Clarify and clean up the sending of PositionChanged messages, and add
new InterpolatedPositionChanged.
Remove the forceFloating parameter from GetInterpolatedTransform, since
it doesn't fit the new design. Replace it with a (non-synchronised) flag
in CCmpPosition.
Move construction progress from CCmpVisualActor to CCmpPosition, so that
it consistently affects all position/transform computation.

which is currently ~0.5KB per entity, which shouldn't be a problem.
