No more locking insanity! :)
There are no locking counters or other saveguards here that would complicate the implementation because there's precisely two places where this buffer must be locked - the RenderView functions of the regular and poly SW renderer which cannot be called recursively.
In its current form this is quite useless. What's really needed is to require a lock on the RenderBuffer for the 3D scene, but since this is not needed for the 2D stuff anymore it can be done far simpler.
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 is a necessary first step for simplifying the texture handling in order to refactor it.

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.
These cannot be done with the regular textures so there needs to be an option to create more than one native texture per FTexture. For completeness' sake there is also the option now to create a paletted version of a texture if the regular one is true color. This fixes a long standing problem that translations were not applied to non-paletted textures.
The old logic used a translation table that does not work with color images, it was designed to handle 8 bit grayscale images.
So now, it creates a true color buffer and then turns it into a texture with R,G,B = 255 and the alpha channel set to the grayscale value.
This was also the reason why crosshairs made from 32 bit PNGs did not show correctly.
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.
