Instead of allocating everything on the heap as single blocks, use a value TArray and allocate the frame arrays from the texture manager's memory arena, since lifetime of the data is identical.
Most importantly this avoids using a variable size array at the end of the struct.
* change the license of the main file because there is no more id-based code here licensed under the GPL.
* moved VM interface definition out of the implementation.
* moved idmus CCMD out of implementation because it is dependent on Doom level definitions.
* moved s_music.cpp into the music folder with the rest of the music code.
For example, SW1SKULL and SW2SKULL switches are animated in TNT: Evilution
Their frames are defined in ANIMATED lump which is old BOOM binary format
Textures other than base were not cached because the corresponding switch definitions (in ANIMDEFS lump) have one frame only and BOOM style animations were not taken into account

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.
Having everything lumped together made this a maintenance hassle because it affected how the level has to be stored.
This hasn't been tested yet, so it may not work as intended!
currentUILevel is now primaryLevel.
For ZScript, currentVMLevel was added. This is also exported as 'level' and will change as needed.
This also means that no breaking deprecations will be needed in the future, because in order to sandbox a level only 4 variables need to be handled: level, players, playeringame and consoleplayer.
The remaining global variables are not relevant for the level state.
The static 'level' has been mostly removed from the code except some places that still need work.
There is one exception in ACS for a net arbitrator check.
Aside from this the bot_observer CVAR was also removed. This was never implemented properly and could stomp upon custom player settings.
The Map loader may not access any global state at all - everything it can touch must be exchangable.
Furthermore, if we want to sandbox each level, there may be no direct access to any kind of global state whatsoever from the play code.
- moved parts of the render setup out of the separate render functions.
Things like particle and polyobject linking were duplicated several times for rendering different things in different renderers.
These things only need to be set up once before the renderer is started so it makes a lot more sense to consolidate them into one place outside the actual rendering code.
