Blood was fine, albeit with an inverted scale, but the EDuke implementation was something very special - and not in a good way, using 4 CVARs to store the scaling state instead of one.
This is a lot of changes in a lot of code because nothing here was abstracted into the sound system. :(
Hopefully most of the affected code here can be tossed out soon, it's not pretty.
This is going to be a lot of work consolidating the 3 frontends' settings but a necessary evil for eventually getting Shadow Warrior to work as it is quite lacking here.
- AI: there is printing error message in conosole added (instead of dassert)

Note: enet uses 'malloc' and 'free' as field names in a struct - this does not work with any compiler using some sort of heap instrumentation that #defines these names!
This had to be changed to allow MSVC debug builds to compile again.
- consolidated Polymost precaching and removed precaching for static tiles because they now are always loaded.
- removed cache configurability. On modern systems this is relatively pointless - allocating 50 or 100 MB is a non-issue - and the cache is due for replacement anyway.
- Some ThrowError() calls was replaced my viewSetSystemMessage()
- New modern type playQAV (WIP)

Sorry, but having a globally writable pointer to every texture is just insane and makes any functional management impossible.
This is merely a preparation for adding a real texture manager. That cannot be done if any code can write over the data at will. For that, it now has to make the texture writable first or create a writable empty texture.
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.
The only difference was that bloodhack came from NBlood and playing_blood was added for unhandled differences between the backends of EDuke32 and NBlood.
