This stuff is now kept locally in the bot code so that it doesn't infest the rest of the engine.
And please don't read the new botsupp.txt file as some new means to configure bots! This was merely done to get this data out of the way.
The bots are still broken beyond repair and virtually unusable, even if proper data is provided for all weapons.
This seriously needs to be independent from the data store and better abstracted. More work to come to move this to its proper place.

In both cases, having this flag on will render the monster-backing-off-check for melee attacks ineffective because it would misinterpret these weapons as close range only - which they aren't. Even for the PhoenixRod the range is longer than what gets checked here.
As a consequence, the bot's check for missile shooting melee weapons has also become pointless because no such weapon is defined anymore.
Since it forwards directly to FindState and has no script bindings there is no need to keep it, it'd only complicate the full scriptification of the weapon class if it stuck around.
* it was never saved in savegames, leaving the state of dead bodies undefined
* it shouldn't be subjected to pointer substitution because all it contains is old dead bodies, not live ones.

Since the only thing it gets used for is swapping out PlayerPawns it can safely skip all global variables that never point to a live player, which allowed to remove quite a bit of code here that stood in the way of scriptifying more content
For the varargs functions that used the Type field to validate their parameters, now a hidden additional argument is passed which contains a byte array with the type info for the current call's arguments. Since this is static per call location it can be better prepared once when the code is being compiled instead of being put in a runtime created array for each invocation. Everything else uses the per-function instance of the same data.
The only thing that still needed the type field with a VMValue is the defaults array, so this uses a different struct type now to store its data.
# Conflicts:
# src/v_draw.cpp
Currently used for loading parameters into registers.
For checking parameters of native functions some more work is needed to get the info to the function. Currently it doesn't receive the function descriptor.
