In particular this means to remove the option to disable widescreen aspect ratios. The way this was handled makes no sense with the current render backend.
The aspect ratio code will have to be redone entirely to properly obey the backend's settings.

The math backend functions have been moved out of Build because they originally have a good license.

There are effectively two states - the one in the backend and a local one in the drawer for the render list which is supposed to eliminate some of the more costly repeated calls.
This higher level state was cached globally, which did not work anymore because the real render state could be changed elsewhere without this code realizing it.
All this means that the render list drawer must create a new state cache for each call and also must apply its current pending render state before leaving to ensure that everything is properly reset.
Game compiles and runs but transparency doesn't work yet.

This way the view matrix will remain constant per scene and an update of the model matrix is only needed for rendering a model or voxel, reducing the total amount of generated matrices to the point where they can be written to a buffer instead of constantly uploading them as uniforms.
The code needs to be refactored anyway to allow better crosshair control but this also seemed to affect global render state, considering how poorly it was all implemented.
Not tested and probably still not working correctly, the entire feature was a nearly impenetrable mess of convoluted code. This definitely needs verification with multiple mods using it.
* removed old sound loading code, which was the last bit to use cacheAllocateBlock which is also gone now.
* cleanup of player sound code. All game side tracking of the sound resources has been removed.
does not compile yet.
This needs to be moved into the backend, and partially into the shader. So far this only removes the code from the main rendering logic, the final implementation is not done yet.
It had to go because it required the main rendering code to look deep into the texture data which would be a major blocker for refactoring.
