For `MultiFileLoader` and `LoadMultipleCl2Sheet`, we now open one file
at a time.
This can help on platforms that limit the number of concurrently open
files, such as the PS2.
When using `UNPACKED_MPQS`, avoid all the SDL machinery for reading
files.
This is beneficial not only due to reduced indirection but also because
we can test for the file's existence and get the file size without
opening it, which is much faster.
The format is almost identical to CL2, except it uses the frame header
to store frame width and height instead of 5 32-line offsets.
This means we always have access to frame dimensions, so we can use it
as an on-disk format for our graphics as well.
Additionally, we may be able to optimize the rendering even more
in the future now that we have guaranteed knowledge of frame dimensions.
Adds simple string / integer concatenation functions.
Many of the uses of `fmt::format` are simply concatenation
of a few strings and integers.
`StrCat` is an easier-to-read alternative to such uses of `fmt`.
Previously, the memory for each frame was allocated separately.
Changes it to allocate a single buffer for all the frames.
This has the following advantages:
1. Less bookkeeping overhead in the allocator.
2. Less alignment overhead (allocator results are max-aligned by default).
We can follow this up with a similar treatment for other multi-file
animations.
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.
