With localization for non-Latin languages on the support list the multibyte API doesn't cut it anymore. It neither can handle system text output outside the local code page nor can an ANSI window receive text input outside its own code page.
Similar problems exist for file names. With the multibyte API it is impossible to handle any file containing characters outside the active local code page.
So as of now, everything that may pass along some Unicode text will use the Unicode API with some text conversion functions. The only places where calls to the multibyte API were left are those where known string literals are passed or where the information is not used for anything but comparing it to other return values from the same API.
To make things easier, DBIGFONT, SBIGFONT and HBIGFONT will now be renamed in the lump directory to make things a bit easier to handle.
Another change is to make font folders atomic units to prevent cross-pollution between incompatible fonts. The only exception to this are the def* folders because they need to piece together their fonts from both zd_extra.pk3 and the IWADs.
It was only used to avoid traversing the list if all sequences were paused which is an exceptional situation.
On the other hand, the way it counted was not correct so rather than fixing it it seemed more appropriate to remove it entirely.
This is dpne as a two-stage approach. TXT_LOGTEXTxxx will always take precedence over the log lumps, and TXT_ILOGxxx will only replace the original IWAD content.
This is so that PWADs replacing these lumps don't get overridden by the default texts.
The added table may be overkill but this way the font engine is prepared for things to come.
Currently the text placement in the menu seems a bit broken, that's a task for later.
A multi-lump font can be created by putting all characters into a subdirectory of fonts/ with the intended name. Each character needs to be named by its character index as hex number.
So far this is only active for the predefined small fonts
It now reads everything into a two-dimensional TMap and creates a list of mappings that apply to the current setting.
The constant need for reloading was the main blocker in redesigning how Dehacked strings get inserted. Currently they override everything, but IWAD-based Dehacked text shouldn't block PWAD overrides from PWADs' LANGUAGE lumps and instead be treated as coming from an [en default] block.
This also renames the main block from [enu default] to [en default], because it should be treated as the English default for all English locales and not just make it fall through to the base default as it did before.

Thanks to the lazy counter it used in its stat display I never noticed that the serializer was incomplete and that UnlinkFromMap did not call its super method.
After changing the counter to be actively counting on each call, all the other issues became immediately apparent.
The interpolator had been changed long ago to use proper GC tracking, so interpolations only can get collected if they had been fully orphaned.
This comment was the main reason why the design flaw in this code never got fixed until recently.
It seems there can be rare conditions where an interpolation is 'lost' and later garbage collected. If that happens after the owning map is gone, all pointers in the interpolation object will be invalid and Destroy would crash while trying to unlink it. So anything that explicitly deletes an interpolation now has to manually unlink it from the map first so that OnDestroy can be kept clean of map references.
Now all this content can be localized. However, since this is actual game content it was placed in a secondary file in zd_extra.pk3, so that it won't affect the GPL-compatible status of the main one.
