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.
- e5m2: floating skulls disappear on lower skill levels
- e5m4: the platform with the baron of hell that led to the invulnerability secret had a missing texture
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.
For now only with font-printed map names. Allowing this with titlepatches will require more work and an option to disable.

For the Doom IWADs the provided font looks almost identical to the characters used on the title patches. So, for any level name that got replaced in some language, it will now check if the retrieved name comes from the default table, and if not, ignore the title patch and print the name with the specified font.
This also required removing the 'en' label from the default table, because with this present, the text would always be picked from 'en' instead of 'default'. Since 'en' and 'default' had the same contents, in any English locale the 'default' table was never hit, so this won't make any difference for the texts being chosen.
Last but not least, wminfo has been made a local variable in G_DoCompleted. There were two places where this was accessed from outside the summary screen or its setup code, and both were incorrect.

With extended fonts much of the old code did not work anymore, this needed more precise checks for the sources of the printed texts.
Without the adjustments, just added GetMaxAscender for compatibility. (drfrag)

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

- Note: Because sound channels are not in zscript, there's no way to modify a sound made by S_Sound.

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.
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.

This was done because the backdrop as implemented was the only texture in the entire game that had to be deleted and recreated each frame.
However, with Vulkan this would have necessitated quite a bit of synchronization with the render pipeline which wasn't really feasible just for this one single texture.
Now the texture manager can assume that once a texture was created it will be immutable and never has to change.
