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 was one of that annoying old design mistakes where Doom and Heretic features were poorly merged together. The Heretic Gargoyle uses very similar coding but performs a subtly different action when actually hitting another actor. This different action was made the default, even for the Lost Soul.
It has now been changed that both monsters use their original action, being distinguished by an actor flag. For compatibility with custom definitions Heretic's behavior, which has been the default in ZDoom will be the preferred one. The one of the Lost Soul can be reactivated by a flag.
Most importantly, specifying a patch may optionally disallow showing the autor's name - this is for cases where a styled patch gets used for English but text-based translations of the map name should still be possible.
This looks a lot better. Unfortunately for the regular SmallFont this would severely reduce the available space for the text so it isn't done here, even though for shorter texts the formatting would look better as well.
Duration of sound playback and subtitles display will be synchronized if sound id is specified
For existing Strife messages this works out of the box

What could be done has been moved into the filter directory of game_support.pk3
Unfortunately most of the rest is needed as presets even for custom games so it cannot be fully cleaned up, because the dependencies here and the filter structure do not align 100%.
* sprite offset definitions, which are IWAD dependent
* Freedoom's decal overrides
* conversation ID definitions for the Strife teasers
* the fallback BigFont now can also be loaded by IWADs which declare themselves as GAME_Heretic or GAME_Hexen.
* the Doom status bar has been partially virtualized to allow overriding specific parts of it, most notably the ammo display
* the internal Harmony status bar has been removed because it only works with the now disabled Dehacked patch.
* the SBARINFO definition has been removed, instead it uses a ZScript-based status bar now which overrides the ammo display to use the new ammo types instead.
This was done for two reasons:
1. It forces loading of zd_extra.pk3 for the stock IWADs, eliminating a certain kind of user error.
2. It removes the stock IWAD definitions for custom games that distribute the engine along with their data, so that it doesn't pick up on Steam and GOG installations and shows an inappropriate IWAD picker.
Unlike the other games this required a bit of patching of the IWAD's data with a new MAPINFO so it needs to be in a separate .pk3 file loaded after the IWAD.
Since this needs to be loaded after the IWAD it was also possible to add a small DECORATE lump which fixes a few errors inherited from the original Dehacked patch, like monster counting bugs and unintentionally shootable decorations.
There were two issues blocking this:
* the Doom BigUpper font was loaded for all Doom-based games. It is only valid for original idgames releases and nothing more.
* Hacx.wad defines its BigFont in FONTDEFS which blocks all custom fonts. Since the Hacx font and GZDoom's base BigFont are very similar, the FONTDEFS lump now gets deleted from the WAD directory.
Exit_Normal and Exit_Secret specials imply addition conditions to make a decision about proceeding to the next map
A few scriptified actors require a bypass of these conditions in order to work properly
