The main problem here is that there's two data arrays representing an actor - sprite and hittype and the engine only uses indices for reference.
By setting up hittype to contain a sprite reference, the function and iterator interface can be rewritten to use a single pointer instead to represent an actor.
The main objective is to reduce the number of accesses to the global arrays which constitute the biggest refactoring blocker.
The sprite lists may still need optimization. Due to different handling between Blood and the core engine they need to be written out completely which is quite wasteful.
* Blood had this right. It makes sense that the horizon be based around as it's easier to work with.
* Removed all associated game math to deduct default horizon of 100 when doing weapon zvel etc, meaning actual horizon can just be used.
* Re-did return to center function to work on the already converted pitch. Return speed should be 1:1 with previous code.
This is needed to extend a few fields that are too narrow - e.g. the texture offset fields have no room for interpolating scrolling textures.
Blood not done yet, will also need to be changed to get rid of the limits.
This is for consistency, otherwise sprites with a palette translation would stand out. Also use shade dependent fog density instead of a single global value.
Currently this only has an effect in true color rendering mode.
This unexpectedly turned out a complete rewrite so now it is under my own license.
Also moved the remaining parts of map hack loading into the engine.
Overall I have to say that the feature is not what I expected, it's merely used to fudge the positioning of model sprites and for adding Polymer lights.
While ultimately this needs to be tossed into the deepest bowels of hell for being one gargantuan piece of bad code, it is still needed and does not really work when placed in a separate source file, due to its endless list of global dependencies.
* use static_assert directly. Raze is C++17, no need for that macro shit.
* removed CONSTEXPR - I seriously fail to see the use here, many of the functions marked as CONSTEXPR cannot possibly even be constant evaluated so the declaration makes no sense. Removed most of these and replaced the valid ones with the official constexpr keyword.
* got rid of EDUKE_PREDICT_FALSE - this makes zero sense in script parsing code, at best it will save a few microseconds. Clean code wins.
* replaced Blrintf with xs_CRoundToInt. Shitty name is shitty name, even if derived from POSIX.
* replaced Bstr*casecmp with str*icmp. As these get defined in the CMake project based on actual compiler checks they are preferable here.
* removed lots of other stuff that is not needed with a minimum compiler requirement of C++17.
* Remove fix16.h/cpp and utilise library from m_fixed.h.
* Extend m_fixed.h with two inline functions for int to/from float operations.
* Replace fix16_floor operations with those from xs_Float.h
* Replace multiple Q16.16 conversions from 0 to just be 0.
* Replaced all found in-game bit-shifts and multiplications/divisions with inline functions from m_fixed.h
* Replaced many casts of FRACUNIT as double in SW's panel.cpp as it is converted to double by way of type promotion.
* Fixed missed precision fixes in SW's panel.cpp where some types weren't declared correctly.
* Replaced 100+ `Cos()/Sin() >> 16` operations for Blood with inline functions `CosScale16()/SinScale16()`.
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.
* Breaks every other game except Duke unless/until they get migrated. Done for the purpose of demonstrating PR #244.

Avoid passing this anywhere in the client code. It should only be set right before rendering the 3D view and the only code using the base palette should be the 3D renderer and hud_drawsprite.
Also make the palette override CVARs 3D view only in debug mode.
* Returns a true double result.
* Also supports fractional input for fractional input. That is, if `sintable[1]` = 50 and `sintable[2]` = 100, `calcSinTableValue(1.5)` = 75.
* Increased precision of `BANG2RAD` define to use double and not float.
* As such, revert addition of `sintablef[]`.
