Face- and wall-aligned sprites are drawn using the wall routines in BUILD.
However, the per-x-screen-coordinate distance (swall[]) is calculated in a way
that potentially incurs great precision loss (for example 5 bits for
xdimen=1280, yxaspect=65536). This leads to the starting (top) vertical texture
coordinate possibly wrapping to large values, leaving an unsightly "stray line"
on top of the sprite from certain viewing angles/horiz values.
The approach to fix it has two parts: first, the distance is calculated using
float values, preventing the precision loss. Because this doesn't fully prevent
the unwanted lines, the texture coords are clamped to the mininum and maximum
(0 and UINT32_MAX respectively) when calculating them for sprites.
Note that stray lines may still appear at the *bottom* of sprites under certain
circumstances, for example when viewing at a y-flipped sprite from above.
These should be less noticable in real-world usage though.
The feature is guarded by a macro HIGH_PRECISION_SPRITE in case using floating
point or 64-bit integers is undesirable/impossible on some platforms.

That is, first check if the sprite is in the game world and then if it
already has the desired sector or status number. This doesn't change anything
in our codebase, since the return values of these functions are never examined.

The usual: declare locals more tightly, const-qualify them where it helps
readability, remove dead code...

Previously, actor[].shootzvel (implementation detail, not available to CON)
was checked, and if it was !=0, that was the overridden velocity. The value
0 meant "hardcoded, projectile-dependent velocity". But that neccesiated a
hack where if zvel 0 was passed and really meant, it needed to be set to
1 instead. Now we have A_ShootWithZvel() taking an additional last argument
plus a macro SHOOT_HARDCODED_ZVEL permissible for that argument.

actors.h: remove 'packed' from projectile_t, tiledata_t. In tiledata_t,
make .cacherange member an int32_t so that the following member
"projectile_t defproj" is aligned on a 4-byte boundary.
player.h: remove 'packed' from playerspawn_t, DukeStatus_t, input_t.
In Lunatic, correct packing attribute of the base type of the unrestricted
actor_t and DukePlayer_t pointer types (the declaration was used without

Most of them are already aligned to their natural boundaries, so lowering
the alignment to 1 byte can only worsen things by making the C compiler
generate poorer (unaligned access) code for some platforms.
The layout of structures is not specified by the C Standard, but is rather
given by a particular platform + toolchain's ABI (application binary interface).
Most ABIs follow the expected pattern "alignment of scalars is their size,
alignment of arrays is that of its element type, alignment of structs is the
maximum alignment of its members". A couple of links to particular ABIs are
given in build.h.
Problems are expected with archs that care about unaligned access when a pointer
to a non-packed struct is taken that resides in a packed aggregate, but these
uses should be weeded out (I'm not sure if there are any in our codebase).
The following types are affected, only hitdata_t changes its size:
sectortype, walltype, spritetype, spriteext_t, spritesmooth_t,
struct validmode_t, picanm_t, palette_t, vec2_t, vec3_t, hitdata_t.

And const them appropriately. Also remove #if 0'ed code related to an MSVC
pragma.

Meaning that only *ettsprite[THISACTOR] makes sense from CON. It did before
too, because .tspr was set before each event run (and not before all runs),
only that it was never nulled, which was kind of untidy.

Its only use is to have a actor -> tsprite mapping for the EVENT_ANIMATESPRITE
event and .tspr will be set before it is run.
