This was a bad idea from the start and really only made sense with DirectDraw.
These days a FrameBuffer represents an abstract hardware canvas that shares nothing with a software canvas so having these classes linked together makes things needlessly complicated.
The software render buffer is now a canvas object owned by the FrameBuffer.
Note that this commit deactivates a few things in the software renderer, but from the looks of it none of those will be needed anymore if we set OpenGL 2 as minimum target.
This was done mainly to reduce the amount of occurences of the word FTexture but it immediately helped detect two small and mostly harmless bugs that were found due to the stricter type checks.
Now it is no longer necessary to provide specially set up textures for rendering shaded decals, they can use any PNG texture now that contains a proper red channel.
Handling of the alPh chunk has been removed as a result as it in no longer needed.
Until now each subclass of FTexture had to implement the entire span generation itself, presumably so that a few classes can use simpler structures.
This does not work if a texture can have more than one pixel buffer as is needed for alpha textures.
Even though it means that some classes will allocate more data now, it's the only way to do it properly.
In addition this removes a significant amount of mostly redundant code from the texture classes.
- added alpha texture processing to all converted classes
As of now this is not active and not tested.
Note that as part of the conversion even those textures that were working as alphatextures will not look correct until the higher level code gets adjusted.
* store the frame time in the current screen buffer from where all render code can access it.
* replace some uses of I_MSTime with I_FPSTime, because they should not use a per-frame timer. The only one left is the wipe code but even this doesn't look like it needs either a per-frame timer or a timer counting from the start of the playsim.
- moved timer definitions into their own header/source files. d_main is not the right place for this.
- removed some leftover cruft from the old timer code.
