This deprecated CharAt and CharCodeAt for being unsuitable for text processing and in the case of CharCodeAt also for being buggy.
A new replacement, ByteAt has been added that reads a string byte by byte, as well as CodePointCount, which counts the amount of Unicode code points in a string and GetNextCodePoint which reads the string code point by code point.
Note that while this woll work as intended with the currently supported languages as a means to read single characters, there is no guarantee that this will remain so if Unicode support gets extended to things which break the "one code point == one character" assumption.
1. Top-level menu names are now properly handled.
2. Changing "Any or All terms" option now immediately updates the results.
3. Reformatted menu.zs to have tabs instead of spaces.
At least under MSVC this function reports 0x85 as whitespace, but it is a continuation byte for UTF-8 sequences and may not be treated as whitespace.

This function was written for already validated UTF-8 but not for text that can be mixed with ISO-8859-1.
To handle that properly it needs to do a bit more validation to avoid mangling its output and instead reject invalid input.
* entering a savegame description did not work anymore
* the length check was too restrictive and always underestimated the available space
* use the console font for entering a savegame description. This has more characters and better contrast for this content.
* the interface to the text enterer used bad measurements.

* prefer accent-less lower case over uppercase letters if an accented lower case letter cannot be found.
* added accent-less mappings for Latin Extended 1 (0x100-0x17f) and some easy to handle characters between 0x200 and 0x220. This should allow to display all Eastern European text without empty gaps for missing letters.

* the window class name was still ASCII, thanks to some totally pointless and ultimately dangerous type cast to LPCTSTR which rendered all type checks ineffective.
* use wWinMain instead of WinMain so that a Unicode argv gets created. For whatever reason, the ANSI startup leaves this variable empty.
* added a 'disablecrashlog' CCMD for Windows. It is a lot more useful with a debugger present to get the standard crash notification from the system which allows opening a debugger than the crash log and no option to open a debugger.
This still contained pieces where a multibyte string was passed through SendMessage and WM_SETTEXT. All these have been replaced with SetWindowTextW.
This commit also removes the never used crash log upload code and all associated assets because it is extremely unlikely that such a feature will ever be implemented.
This was broken by several small unicode-incompatible code fragments.
This commit also removes the input limit for the player name and the savegame description. With multibyte encoding, limiting them to a fixed length did not work right.
Currently these will just overflow the fields if the text becomes too long, this needs some additional work.
Also changed this to use the console font because it is far better equipped with special characters than the small font.

This also necessitated some character remapping in the console font to move the Windows-1252 extra characters to their proper Unicode code points.

With localization for non-Latin languages on the support list the multibyte API doesn't cut it anymore. It neither can handle system text output outside the local code page nor can an ANSI window receive text input outside its own code page.
Similar problems exist for file names. With the multibyte API it is impossible to handle any file containing characters outside the active local code page.
So as of now, everything that may pass along some Unicode text will use the Unicode API with some text conversion functions. The only places where calls to the multibyte API were left are those where known string literals are passed or where the information is not used for anything but comparing it to other return values from the same API.

The Linux backend looked like it didn't handle anything non-ASCII at all, but this all needs to be tested.
Windows will be a bit more work because it requires using the Unicode API for creating the main window.
The added table may be overkill but this way the font engine is prepared for things to come.
Currently the text placement in the menu seems a bit broken, that's a task for later.

* Fixes for Door_AnimatedClose
- Fixing that Door_AnimatedClose would be activated on an already closed door (playing the sound and the 1st frame of the animation)
- There was no check if the Door is already Animated when a tag was used with Door_AnimatedClose
* Removed doubled "door->StartClosing();".
Now it's no longer possible to manipulate TID hash from arbitrary location
For example, this prevents linking of destroyed object into the hash
TID member is still public but writing to it is limited to a few very specific cases like serialization and player traveling between levels
