This was done to ensure that this code only runs when the thinker itself is fully set up.
With a constructor there is no control about such things, if some common initialization needs to be done it has to be in the base constructor, but that makes the entire approach chosen here to ensure proper linking into the thinker chains impossible.
ZDoom originally did it that way, which resulted in a very inflexible system and required some awful hacks to let the serializer work with it - the corresponding bSerialOverride flag is now gone.
The only thinker class still having a constructor is DFraggleThinker, because it contains non-serializable data that needs to be initialized in a piece of code that always runs, regardless of whether the object is created explicitly or from a savegame.
Doing this intermingled with the thinkers is highly unsafe because there are absolutely no guarantees about order of execution.
Effectively it ran these commands right in the middle of the playsim which could cause all sorts of synchronization issues, because CCMDs are part of the UI, not the playsim.
- pass a const string to AddCommandString.
This function manipulated the input buffer, leading to all sorts of code contortions to make sure that the passed parameter is clean for that.
This function will now create a copy of the passed parameter which it can manipulate without complicating its calling code.

This doesn't really write out any info for the pointer, if the level does not match it just errors out.
This is both for quick detection of badly used level data and for automatic restoring of the pointer from the serializer's working level.
This also removed the temporary workarounds in DAutomap and DLevelScript to restore these pointers when a savegame is loaded.
This was a relatively cheap change but removes a significant batch of references to the global variable, only making the entry points to the ACS interpreter relevant.
UI always runs on the primary level, so this does not need the ability to operate on multiple levels. Additionally, this can later be set to null when running play code so that scope violations result in an abort.
