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.

By using templates appripriately we can remove the need for explicit
specification of serializers, making it easier to serialize container
types and to write new serialization helpers.
Direct serialization calls haven't been replaced in this diff.

Correctly recompute the actor when something changes that could modify
it (ownership change, ...).
Make sure mirages are updated when they reappear after being hidden.
Make sure foundations have proper identity classes.
Make sure mirages don't respond to value modifications in the visual
component.
Clarify a few comments.

The animation overrides are a little awkward. Instead, use animation
variants, which allow defining different animations (and props and such)
easily for different units in a formation.
This lets us clean up the special C++ code to override the walk
animations.
It continues the work started by 8446b92f1b.

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.

This was SVN commit r16183.
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.
