This is better be made part of the 2D interface.
That would have been done long ago if it hadn't been for the totally incompatible way this was handled by the purely paletted software renderer.
Now with that out of the way there is no point keeping this code this deeply embedded in the renderer.
Although this is currently safe there is no guarantee that future refactorings will keep the current draw lists, so it's better if GLDecal used its own copy of the data.
- precalculate if a sector's floor and ceiling plane overlap. This avoids rechecking this for each single call of hw_FakeFlat.
- vertices must be marked dirty every time they change after map setup. That means that ChangePlaneTexZ must do this as well, because it cannot rely on interpolation taking care of it.
- Having a 'dirty' argument for SetPlaneTexZ's ZScript version makes no sense. If the value changes from the script side the vertices must always be marked to be recalculated.
This was all over the place, with half of it using the function and half doing incomplete checks on the underlying variables.
Also did some optimization on the IGNOREHEIGHTSEC flag: Putting it on the destination sector instead of the model sector makes the check even simpler and allows to precalculate the effect of 3D floors on the heightsec, which previously had to be run on every call and made the function too complex for inlining.
* only call hw_CheckViewArea if the result is not known yet.
* check the map up front if it even contains heightsecs. This allows to shortcut the above check entirely for maps without sector transfers and will allow further optimizations.
Lots of this was still laid out for DirectDraw. This removes most of Begin2D so that it can be done more cleanlz.
Note that this commit renders weapon sprites and screen blends incorrectly. Those will be fixed in an upcoming commit.
Since they mess around with the texture coordinates, these need to be backed up and restored afterward.
There was also an issue with the ValidNormal check that was suffering from imprecisions that cause walls to be skipped, so the check was removed because it was mostly pointless.
* split gl_shadowmap.cpp into a GL dependent and an API independent part.
* gl_drawinfo must be kept around for the HUD sprite because it connects the renderer with the hardware indpendent part of the engine.
- added thread_local to some static arrays being used for setting up dynamic lights.
Right now it's of little consequence but these will have to be maintained per thread if the render data setup is done by worker tasks.
Decals will now be processed into a list in the processing pass, allowing to use the vertex buffer even on GL3 hardware and to offload this part of the work to a multithreaded worker task.
* to do this efficiently the amount of required vertices needs to be calculated up-front
* always create the vertices in the data generation pass, not the render pass.
* added synchronisation code to the vertex buffer allocator.
Without multithreading this causes a slight slowdown, due to added processing cost. (Frozen Time bridge scene drops from 47 fps to 44 fps on my test machine.
- eliminated hqresize.cpp's dependency on GL headers.
- cleaned up the logic for CreateTexBuffer so that hqresize.cpp does not need to check for software warped textures anymore.
This replaces the old redirection hackery that had to work differently for the legacy render path.
Overriding CopyTrueColorTranslated is far more robust and ensures that no edge cases can reach the GetPixels function, which wasn't the case before.
- added copy constructors and assignement operators to GLFlat and GLWall so that they can use memcpy instead of field-by-field copy. This actually increases performance slightly.
This is mainly for future-proofing because storing these as objects in an array not only has a negative impact when using multithreading due to longer blocking time for the threads but also makes it hard to cache this data for reuse.
The most frequent call using this is the regular texture creation function where this results in a pointless allocation and destruction of a temporary string which is easily avoided.
With the software renderer not being used for 2D anymore it would be quite annoying if every texture class had to implement these.
If done properly, the SW renderer should actually be forced to dynamic_cast any texture to a FWorldTexture before using this stuff, but that'd be some pointless overhead better saved.

- 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.
It may use the same calculations as the hardware renderer but must use the 2D drawer for display.
It should be investigated if the hardware renderer can do this as well.
This does not work with a setup where the same backend is driving both renderers.
Most of this is now routed through 'screen', and the decision between renderers has to be made inside the actual render functions.
The software renderer is still driven by a thin opaque interface to keep it mostly an isolated module.
This will cause incorrectly generated textures and the reason for this no longer exists because CreateTexBuffer is doing this as a postprocessing step now.
* the MAPINFO options now get handled in g_mapinfo.cpp and g_level.cpp, just like the rest of them as members of level_info_t and FLevelLocals.
* RecalcVertexHeights has been made a member of vertex_t and been moved to p_sectors.cpp.
* the dumpgeometry CCMD has been moved to p_setup.cpp
This theoretically means that the software renderer could access this data as well - if it just had been written with a more flexible texture interface.
However, as things stand, this may require quite a bit of work to achieve.
The old organization made sense when ZDoom still was a thing but now it'd be better if all pure data with no dependence on renderer implementation details was moved out.
A separation between GL2 and GL3+4 renderers looks to be inevitable and the more data is out of the renderer when that happens, the better.
This was originally invented to fix the sprite offsets for the hardware renderer.
Changed it so that it doesn't override the original offsets but acts as a second set.
A new CVAR has been added to allow controlling the behavior per renderer.
