With JIT enabled, an implicit test for null self pointer is added to generated code
This has no effect without JIT as VM verifies a pointer before calling a native method

The message is always printed for any use of deprecated global variable
If such variable is accessed inside a deprecated function from a core script lump, the message is printed only when verbosity level is set to highest

Script position is now initialized at the very beginning of decorate parsing process
Script position no longer contains uninitialized file name

Now it's no longer possible to manipulate TID hash from arbitrary location
For example, this prevents linking of destroyed object into the hash
TID member is still public but writing to it is limited to a few very specific cases like serialization and player traveling between levels

* - Added support for monospacing alignment modes to HUDFont / BaseStatusBar.DrawString
* - added underlying type declaration for EMonospacing
* - replaced "#include v_video.h" with a declaration of EMonospacing
This deprecated CharAt and CharCodeAt for being unsuitable for text processing and in the case of CharCodeAt also for being buggy.
A new replacement, ByteAt has been added that reads a string byte by byte, as well as CodePointCount, which counts the amount of Unicode code points in a string and GetNextCodePoint which reads the string code point by code point.
Note that while this woll work as intended with the currently supported languages as a means to read single characters, there is no guarantee that this will remain so if Unicode support gets extended to things which break the "one code point == one character" assumption.
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.
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
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.
I think these were the last two still missing it, all remaining uses of the global level variable are in code that doesn't get run through a level tick and are supposed to access the primary level.
