The base palette can be set via .def files so that the engine has no access to it until the entire game state is set up.
This means that font translations and PNG palette remap tables cannot be built when the owning objects are created.
For PNGs this has the added advantage that they only get done when really required and not unconditionally - most of the time the remap table isn't even needed here.
Thid fixes the slider graphics in the option menus.

* 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.
These will have to do some texture management bookkeeping so directly changing the values is problematic.
This required changing the parameter interface in polymost.cpp because a few places hacked around with the global state to pass parameters to subfunctions.
