This also changes the action special interface to pass a Level parameter to the separate functions and makes a few other minor adjustments to the polyobject code.
This should be less of a drag on the playsim than having each light a separate actor. A quick check with ZDCMP2 showed that the light processing time was reduced to 1/3rd from 0.5 ms to 0.17 ms per tic.
It's also one native actor class less.
The mod which prompted me to add this is "The Chosen" which is a Dehacked-based TC and repurposes many original actors for something entirely different.
The stock lights are not usable for this and would make it impossible to add a GAMEINFO lump to it because then there is no way to disable loading of lights in the startup screen.
This was done to make reviewing easier, again because it is virtually impossible to search for the operators in the code.
Going through this revealed quite a few places where texture animations were on but shouldn't and even more places that did not check PASLVERS, although they were preparing some paletted rendering.
- moved the ALTHUDCF parser PClass::StaticInit, so that it gets done right after creating the actor definitions.
All left to do is not to reallocate the AltHud object for each frame but store it in a better suited place.
For this to work the 2D mode has to be properly set and unset at the right places so that no double mapping occurs and no render operation can happen while in 2D mode.

This code was written when the window wasn't resizable and didn't actually manage to restore it before. With today's changes this design flaw caused totally incorrect results.
Like Linux and macOS this will only support borderless fullscreen in the active desktop resolution now, which is what modern systems need.
The list of discrete resolutions has been removed as it makes no sense anymore with a fixed video mode - all the other scaling options remain active, though.
Remaining object(s) led to a potential crash on the next garbage collection cycle
Assertion failure was triggered during restarting in Debug configuration
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.
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.
- 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.
