conwidth and conheight have been moved into vid.conview (probably change
the name at some time), and scr_vrect has been replaced by a view as
well. This makes it much easier to create 2d elements that follow the
screen size (taking advantage of a view's gravity) which will, in the
end, make changing the window size easier.
It now takes a context pointer (opaque data) that holds the buffers it
uses for the temporary strings. If the context pointer is null, a static
context is used (making those uses of va NOT thread-safe). Most calls to
va use the static context, but all such calls have been formatted
consistently so they are easy to find when it comes time to do a full
audit.
This makes tex_t more generally useable and probably more portable. The
goal was to be able to use tex_t with data that is in a separate chunk
of memory.
This paves the way for clean initialization of the Vulkan renderer, and
very much cleans up the older renderer initialization code as gl and sw
are no longer intertwined.
The attached patch (against quakeforge git) changes the [con]width,
[con]height, and most importantly the rowbytes members of viddef_t
from unsigned to signed int, like in q2. This allows for a properly
negative vid.rowbytes which may be needed in, e.g. a DIB sections
windows driver if needed. Along with it, I changed a few places
where unsigned int is used along with comparisons against the relevant
vid.* members.
One thing I am not 100% sure is the signedness requirements of
d_zrowbytes and d_zwidth: q2 has them as unsigned but I am not sure
whether that is because they are needed as unsigned or it was just an
oversight of the id developers. They do look like they should be OK
as signed int to me, though: comments?

Note from Bill Currie: I had to do some extra changes as many
signed/unsigned comparisons were somehow missed.
The renderer should now be free of any direct access to client code. Even
3d rendering is now done via a function pointer.
The cshift code is done as a 2d screen function.
cache the value.
don't call Qopen directly in the engine. instead call QFS_Open (generic) or
QFS_WOpen (write only, zip flag).
rework QFS_NextFilename to use a dstring (avoiding a potential buffer
overflow), support 10000 files and work from the top-level fs_userpath
directory. adjust QFS_WriteFile and QFS_WriteBuffers etc to suit.
make sw32 screenshots actually get written.
hopefully everything gets written to the right places :)
