Added new compatflag "old random generator", controlled by the new CVAR compat_oldrandom. If this is enabled, the original Doom random table is used to generate random integers in [0,255], which should make for instance the SSG cause a little more damage.
The option effectively disables per frame mouse checks.
The motivation to add it was that many wireless mice 10-15 years ago had update rates of less than 35Hz, and on these it was necessary to sync mouse input with the playsim to properly interpolate between updates.
Today this is totally useless and even counterproductive because modern mice have significantly higher update rates, so this option no longer smoothes things but instead makes the mouse feel more choppy.
This simulates a feature found in Crispy Doom, which keeps the
weapon bobbing while firing. This leads to a "smoother" appearance
which may look a bit prettier to some people.
The default value of 0 preserves the old behavior.
* - add cvar 'cl_disableinvertedcolormap' - changes the invulnerability sphere to instead be a regular desaturated colormap that transitions from deep blue to pale yellow
* - add menu option for cl_disableinvertedcolormap
* - added customization for invulnerability colormap
* - fixed custom colormap being calculated incorrectly
* - disable custom invulnerability map before the main game loop

When this option is enabled (true), then exiting the game from
main menu and by menu_quit command doesn't require confirmation
and doesn't play sound.

Rationale:
When a mod adds a custom option menu, it adds a space before it, like this:
```
AddOptionMenu OptionsMenu
{
StaticText ""
Submenu "$MYTITLE", MyOptions
}
```
to prevent custom option menu being in the same block as the last entries in the
standard options list. It's okay.
But when more than one such mod is loaded, each one of them adds a space before
their option menu entry, and Options Menu becomes unnecessary bloated.
This simple edit allows mods to not add a space, still be separated from
standard options.
With `crosshairhealth 2`, the crosshair will now
go from white to yellow, then yellow to red as the player's health
decreases. As the player's health increases up to 200, the crosshair
will also go from white to green to indicate overheal.
This is similar to the implementation in games like Xonotic.
The old behavior (`crosshairhealth 1`) is still the default.
This is both for consistency and better localizability. The old code is retained to ensure that mods inheriting from the old menu continue to work.

The side effects here broke other maps and this is really too glitchy to be turned on unless really necesasary.

There are two options here - one only disables the vertical thrust and the other goes back fully to the original non-z-aware code.
Both options are settable through MAPINFO.
For the compatibility presets, the normal ones only disable the vertical thrust, the strict ones force use of the old code entirely.
