978d0306c0 [hash] Rename the publicly visible hashlink_t to hashctx_t
I think my biggest problem with the hashlink freelist parameter was how
much implementation it exposed in just the name.

12c84046f3 [cvar] Make cvars properly typed
This is an extremely extensive patch as it hits every cvar, and every
usage of the cvars. Cvars no longer store the value they control,
instead, they use a cexpr value object to reference the value and
specify the value's type (currently, a null type is used for strings).
Non-string cvars are passed through cexpr, allowing expressions in the
cvars' settings. Also, cvars have returned to an enhanced version of the
original (id quake) registration scheme.

As a minor benefit, relevant code having direct access to the
cvar-controlled variables is probably a slight optimization as it
removed a pointer dereference, and the variables can be located for data
locality.

The static cvar descriptors are made private as an additional safety
layer, though there's nothing stopping external modification via
Cvar_FindVar (which is needed for adding listeners).

While not used yet (partly due to working out the design), cvars can
have a validation function.

Registering a cvar allows a primary listener (and its data) to be
specified: it will always be called first when the cvar is modified. The
combination of proper listeners and direct access to the controlled
variable greatly simplifies the more complex cvar interactions as much
less null checking is required, and there's no need for one cvar's
callback to call another's.

nq-x11 is known to work at least well enough for the demos. More testing
will come.

db5b77c838 [cexpr] Require designated initializers for exprtype_t
This will make expanding it much safer in the future.

c8846f8007 [cexpr] Support array indexing
The index is currently limited to ints, and is bounds checked (the array
type has a size field indicating the number of elements).

a45f8f98b6 [util] Make exprctx hashlinks double pointer
The way I wound up using the field meant that exprctx should not "own"
the hashlinks chain, but rather just point to it. This fixes the nasty
access errors I had.

79f22ffebf [util] Propagate cexpr errors back to the caller
Not much point in error detection when it's ignored.

f3682638d4 [util] Add a mini expression parser
It is capable of parsing single expressions with fairly simple
operations. It current supports ints, enums, cvars and (external) data
structs. It is also thread-safe (in theory, needs proper testing) and
the memory it uses can be mass-freed.
