With JIT enabled, an implicit test for null self pointer is added to generated code
This has no effect without JIT as VM verifies a pointer before calling a native method

Visual C++ will never statically initialize a class instance where a member field has a default value set, so the DEFINE_ACTION_FUNCTION variants without a direct native call need to be handled differently. The easiest way to do this is to leave out the nullptr default and omit the value in the initializer list. For trailing fields this will always get them nulled.
Making callstack resolving operational will require a little bit more effort

For ad-hoc Dehacked state functions no ArgFlags are created, in this case they can just be assumed to not be relevant here, because none of these function produces reference arguments.
- disallow bool as a return value for direct native calls because it only sets the lowest 8 bits of the return register.
- changed return type for several functions from bool to int where the return type was the only thing blocking use as direct native call.
* use I_Error instead of I_FatalError to abort. I_FatalError is only for things that are not recoverable and should not be handled outside of error cleanup and rethrowing.
* only catch CRecoverableError in JitCompile. Everything else should fall through to the outermost catch block.
* Do not I_FatalError out after handling the exception locally. Just print an error and return null, indicating failure.
- changed PARAM_STRING to use the passed string by reference instead of by value. The 3 instances where passing by value was needed now use PARAM_STRING_VAL.

On Windows none of this is needed, because we can generate a proper unwind frame for the JITed functions, but even on Linux, it would require manual additions to each single piece of native code that ever gets called from inside a JIT compiled function.
This is an utterly prohibitive proposition because it makes direct native calls a virtual impossibility
So, in order to get the thrown error properly presented both I_Error and ThrowAbortException will now forward to I_FatalError if it is called from inside a JIT context.
