Another flag bites the dust. This time: -ffinite-math-only.
Since GCC 5, with this flag set, NaN compares equal to zero in some cases but
not others. Causes e.g. "attempted division by zero" error spam from this QC
code:
float x = nan("");
if (x == 0) {
return 0;
}
return 1.0 / x;
Yes, those NaNs should not be happening in the first place, but suddenly
passing some but not all equality checks to zero seems rather dangerous.
Reference: issue #2412 (not a fix for it; the QC code has a problem too but
this change helps track it down properly).

Move tracking of aliases and csqc function overrides to a separate cmd_userdefined_t structure, this way it can be shared between cmd_client and cmd_clientfromserver.

Redesigned TaskQueue to have a queue and distributor model so that threads can keep their own queues of work to do without locking to check for more work. Tasks are not executed until TaskQueue_WaitForTaskDone calls TaskQueue_DistributeTasks.
Added a fast path to TaskQueue_DistributeTasks for tasks that are waiting on other tasks to finish first, they are simply dequeued and re-enqueued immediately, and tend to just live on the distributor queue.
TaskQueue thread count is now dynamically adjusted based on tasks being queued per frame, and has a minimum and maximum thread count.
TaskQueue threads now sleep when idle, this may not be ideal, but did substantially lower the cpu usage so that it doesn't make other applications relatively unresponsive like it did before.
Removed taskqueue_task_t->started field and some other unused fields.

Fix drawflag handling in Mod_Mesh_GetTexture by duplicating texture_t when drawflag overrides differ (it still uses the same skinframe_t so it's not duplicating the actual texture).
This fixes a menu issue in Steel Storm: Burning Retribution where the black text over a hover button was being rendered as MATERIALFLAG_ADD due to DRAWFLAG_ADD being used earlier in the frame on the same font image, which made the text invisible.

cvars are now instanced in &cvars_all as a tracking mechanism, there is also &cvars_null if one wishes for no expansion to occur (e.g. client commands received on the server are very untrusted).
cvars now have CVAR_CLIENT and CVAR_SERVER flags, dedicated server can only see CVAR_SERVER variables whereas client can see both because it could start a server.
cvars created via VMs will have the corresponding flag set (client vm and menu vm can see both CVAR_CLIENT and CVAR_SERVER, server vm can only see CVAR_SERVER - may cause issues with singleplayer mods, we'll see).

Split the global cmd interpreter into 4 separate ones for specific uses (client console, server console, client commands received from server, server commands received from clients), this is intended to make clients more robust against malicious servers by restricting which commands make sense.
This also hides some network protocol implementation details from the console command interpreter, and makes the command list a lot shorter in dedicated servers.

Overhauled r_shadow_bouncegrid, it performs much faster, makes use of as many threads as you wish, and has a nicer calculation for light path accumulation.
r_shadow_bouncegrid now does refractive index calculations on water surfaces, it's not very obvious yet because the traceline doesn't return texture information (if it did, there would be cool caustics effects in dynamic mode).
Implemented TaskQueue system for simple threaded tasks (fibers but less featureful), this is used by r_shadow_bouncegrid but will be used by other parts of the engine in future, also added Thread_Atomic* functions.

Overhauled bouncegrid light splatting for performance reasons - instead of a series of radial dots being accumulated in the texture, it is spherical distance from line segment calculations performed at each pixel, optimized to process pixels in order (filtering down the list of splat paths in each loop). This is a big framerate increase (as raytracing was not the bottleneck at all), and could be threaded in theory.
This required rebalancing the way that spacing interacts with quality, and the conespread parameter has been eliminated (as measuring distance to a non-uniform capsule seems especially challenging, but maybe that could be added back someday), so all parameters have changed a bit.

Fix UI rendering to not use the bouncegrid texture; it looked interesting on the console text but was definitely a bug - now tracks a ui parameter on several surface drawing functions, and triggers the notrippy path in the material rendering as one wouldn't want r_trippy affecting UI either.

r_fullbright_directed 1 will fix this in a better way (already set in current

The only reason why this ever worked before was that Mod_BuildVBOs's
main callee R_Mesh_CreateMeshBuffer did a GL2 feature test before
calling into anything VBO related (and on a dedicated server, which does
not initialize GL, the test always returns false); however now that we
require GL32, the feature test is gone and thus the crash happened. An
explicit check for being a dedicated server fixes that.

Remove the CONFIG_CD macro, and enable faketracks unconditionally.
All support for playing back CD-DA has been removed by leaving only the

This change removes all #ifdefs for CONFIG_CD as well as its enablement
in the MSVC project, which is basically equivalent to having the feature
always being enabled.

probably many other DP-based games. Also fixes Xonotic log spam about

Added vid_conwidthauto cvar which updates vid_conwidth based on vid_conheight and aspect ratio (honoring vid_pixelheight), this defaults on for better usability.
