For ad-hoc Dehacked state functions no ArgFlags are created, in this case they can just be assumed to not be relevant here, because none of these function produces reference arguments.
- disallow bool as a return value for direct native calls because it only sets the lowest 8 bits of the return register.
- changed return type for several functions from bool to int where the return type was the only thing blocking use as direct native call.

* use I_Error instead of I_FatalError to abort. I_FatalError is only for things that are not recoverable and should not be handled outside of error cleanup and rethrowing.
* only catch CRecoverableError in JitCompile. Everything else should fall through to the outermost catch block.
* Do not I_FatalError out after handling the exception locally. Just print an error and return null, indicating failure.
* The functions had no prototype and caused crashes.
* even after creating a prototype it didn't work because CreateAnonymousFunction was set up incorrectly for the case where a known return type was given.
- offloaded key list generation for alternative HUD to non-UI parts.
This change also revealed a problem with handling empty sprites in the key list so this got fixed, too.
- changed PARAM_STRING to use the passed string by reference instead of by value. The 3 instances where passing by value was needed now use PARAM_STRING_VAL.
On Windows none of this is needed, because we can generate a proper unwind frame for the JITed functions, but even on Linux, it would require manual additions to each single piece of native code that ever gets called from inside a JIT compiled function.
This is an utterly prohibitive proposition because it makes direct native calls a virtual impossibility
So, in order to get the thrown error properly presented both I_Error and ThrowAbortException will now forward to I_FatalError if it is called from inside a JIT context.
It has been like this initially but was changed when ZDoom gained an overly complicated polymorphic class descriptor object that required a lot of support code. All these complications have long been removed but these methods remained. Since they prevent a class from being moved to the script side entirely they had to be removed.
This was the last major blocker to make Weapon a purely scripted class, the only remaining native method is Serialize which is of no concern for the coming work.
This stuff is now kept locally in the bot code so that it doesn't infest the rest of the engine.
And please don't read the new botsupp.txt file as some new means to configure bots! This was merely done to get this data out of the way.
The bots are still broken beyond repair and virtually unusable, even if proper data is provided for all weapons.
Since the only thing it gets used for is swapping out PlayerPawns it can safely skip all global variables that never point to a live player, which allowed to remove quite a bit of code here that stood in the way of scriptifying more content
Null pointers must be allowed and non-object pointers which are not null must be explicitly checked for because the code could crash on them when performing a static_cast on an incorrect type.
For the varargs functions that used the Type field to validate their parameters, now a hidden additional argument is passed which contains a byte array with the type info for the current call's arguments. Since this is static per call location it can be better prepared once when the code is being compiled instead of being put in a runtime created array for each invocation. Everything else uses the per-function instance of the same data.
The only thing that still needed the type field with a VMValue is the defaults array, so this uses a different struct type now to store its data.
Currently used for loading parameters into registers.
For checking parameters of native functions some more work is needed to get the info to the function. Currently it doesn't receive the function descriptor.

The amount of support code for this minor optimization was quite large and this stood in the way of streamlining the VM's calling convention, so it was preferable to remove it before moving on.
With a proper count value available this can be done properly. The only relevant targets are the jumps immediately succeeding the IJMP instructions, nothing else.
