1. Do not modify the map after loading. Instead, return string views
(guaranteed to be null-terminated) from look up functions and return
the key directly if not found.
2. Use an `unorded_map` instead of `map` where available (C++20).
Saves a bit of RAM (~50 KiB) and improves lookup performance.
The backgrounds can be quite large, for example
the Hellfire title background is a 2.4 MiB PCX file.
Previously, we converted all background to SDL surfaces.
This required extra memory, e.g. the 2.4 MiB Hellfire
title background uses 4.6 MiB as an SDL surface.
Changes the background to render directly from PCX instead
to reduce the allocator pressure.
libmpq is a much simpler alternative to StormLib for reading MPQ archives.
We use our own fork of libmpq: https://github.com/diasurgical/libmpq
Impact:
* DevilutionX is now a lot more portable. Unlike StormLib, libmpq only
needs platform-specific code for Windows.
* Locks around file access **removed** (instead we duplicate the file descriptor for streamed audio only).
* RAM usage is **300 KiB** lower than StormLib.
* Stripped release linux_x86_64 binary is **32 KiB** smaller.
* Amiga build now hangs instead of crashing.
In this commit:
- Select Connection Menu
- Create or Join Game Menu
- Choose Class for new hero menu
-> Did not change Select Hero Menu, seems to be deliberately not wrapping around
Using optional arguments where possible so that all use cases can share the same constructor. Also moving member initialisation to the initialiser list syntax as this makes it clear that the derived class is only setting properties on that class, leaving the parent constructor to initialise members of the parent class.
