This made reviewing the code for accessing the global state hard, because the doomdef.h contains mainly constants, this particular item was the only thing in there that represents actual engine state.
This had two different flags that were checked totally inconsistently, and one was not even saved.
Moved everything into a few subfunctions so that these checks do not have to be scattered all over the code.
Unlike the other classes, the places where variables from this class were accessed were quite scattered so there isn't much scriptified code. Instead, most of these places are now using the script variable access methods.
This was the last remaining subclass of AActor, meaning that class Actor can now be opened for user-side extensions.
This was the only code using the ViewBob member variable.
This also moves the range check for this variable to its application, because a badly behaved mod can just as easily change it at run time instead of just setting an absurdly large value in the class definition.
- 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.
Since the only thing it gets used for is swapping out PlayerPawns it can safely skip all global variables that never point to a live player, which allowed to remove quite a bit of code here that stood in the way of scriptifying more content
This setup has been a constant source of problems so now I reviewed all uses of FName to make sure that everything that needs to be initialized is done manually.
This also merges the player_t constructor into the class definition as default values.
The problem here is that this affects the public scripting interface so it cannot be committed to master without further adjustments.

- with renderers freely switchable, some shortcuts in the 3D floor code had to be removed, because now the hardware renderer can get FF_THISINSIDE-flagged 3D floors.
- changed handling of attenuated lights in the legacy renderer to be adjusted when being rendered instead of when being spawned. For the software renderer the light needs to retain its original values.
