This removes the entire palette switch and all the special checks to ensure that no menu can be drawn over this image.
Instead it gives this texture its special palette in the texture manager so that the proper image is created right away.
I decided against exposing this as an editing feature because it is far too specific to this particular image and the raw page format it uses.
A quick check of /idgames shows no project ever replacing it - especially no ZDoom-based project - so no extended handling is needed to make this work with other texture formats.
This addresses the main issue with TObjPtr, namely that using it required pulling in the entire class hierarchy in basic headers like r_defs which polluted nearly every single source file in the project.
This will store class meta properties in a separate memory block so that it won't have to muck around with PClass - which made the implementation from the scripting branch relatively useless because extending the data wasn't particularly easy and also not well implemented. This can now be handled just like the defaults.
This means that with the exception of 3 pointers the DrawTexture interface only accepts numeric values now.
Still need to get rid of the last 3 to have this ready for scripting.
This was done to ensure it can be properly overridden in scripts without causing problems when called during engine shutdown for the type and symbol objects the VM needs to work and to have the scripted version always run first.
Since the scripted OnDestroy method never calls the native version - the native one is run after the scripted one - this can be simply skipped over during shutdown.
Needless to say, this is simply too volatile and would require constant active maintenance, not to mention a huge amount of work up front to get going.
It also hid a nasty problem with the Destroy method. Due to the way the garbage collector works, Destroy cannot be exposed to scripts as-is. It may be called from scripts but it may not be overridden from scripts because the garbage collector can call this function after all data needed for calling a scripted override has already been destroyed because if that data is also being collected there is no guarantee that proper order of destruction is observed. So for now Destroy is just a normal native method to scripted classes
- fixed: The cast call was missing some NULL pointer checks for invalid actor classes.
- fixed: The cast call did not use a translation defined for an actor class.

- fixed: The player's melee state is not a proper melee state so it should not be entered when used in the cast.
- fixed: Sounds were played before changing states. That missed situations where the state was entered from anywhere else but the previous state.
