Basically a dedicated Record Attack-like experience for speedrunning the game as a continuous chunk rather than ILs. Has several quality of life features.
Benefits include:
* An unambiguous real-time bar across the bottom of the screen, always displaying the current time, ticking up until you reach the ending.
* Disable the console (pausing is still allowed, but the timer will still increment).
* Automatically skip intermissions as if you're holding down the spin button.
* Show centiseconds on HUD automatically, like record attack.
* "Live Event Backups" - a category of run fit for major events like GDQ, where recovery from crashes or chokes makes for better entertainment. Essentially a modified SP savefile, down to using the same basic functions, but has its own filename and tweaked internal layout.
* "spmarathon_start" MainCfg block parameter and "marathonnext" mapheader parameter, allowing for a customised flow (makes this fit for purpose for an eventual SUGOI port).
* Disabling inter-level custom cutscenes by default with a menu option to toggle this (won't show up if the mod doesn't *have* any custom cutscenes), although either way ending cutscenes (vanilla or custom) remain intact since is time is called before them.
* Won't show up if you have a mod that consists of only one level (determined by spmarathon_start's nextlevel; this won't trip if you manually set its marathonnext).
* Unconditional gratitude on the evaluation screen, instead of a negging "Try again..." if you didn't get all the emeralds (which you may not have been aiming for).
* Gorgeous new menu (no new assets required, unless you wanna give it a header later).
Changes which were required for the above but affect other areas of the game include:
* "useBlackRock" MainCFG block parameter, which can be used to disable the presence of the Black Rock or Egg Rock in both the Evaluation screen and the Marathon Run menu (for total conversions with different stories).
* Disabling Continues in NiGHTS mode, to match the most common singleplayer experience post 2.2.4's release (is reverted if useContinues is set to true).
* Hiding the exitmove "powerup" outside of multiplayer. (Okay, this isn't really related, I just saw this bug in action a lot while doing test runs and got annoyed enough to fix it here.)
* The ability to use V_DrawPromptBack (in hardcode only at the moment, but) to draw in terms of pixels rather than rows of text, by providing negative instead of positive inputs).
* A refactoring of redundant game saves smattered across the ending, credits, and evaluation - in addition to saving the game slightly earlier.
* Minor m_menu.c touchups and refactorings here and there.
Built using feedback from the official server's #speedruns channel, among other places.
1) In sector_get, actually push the memory address of the lines array within sector_t, rather than push the value of "lines" itself (essentially, we we want a pointer to a double pointer, or rather a TRIPLE pointer haha)
2) In the sectorlines_* functions, use offsetof to shift the memory address so we can obtain the value of linecount within the sector_t struct, and dereference the result to obtain the value of linecount itself
3) ??? profit
Untested and uncompiled atm, but I have some confidence this might work
Set up a main thinker list and a polyobject mover list to test things up. Works so far, networking as well.

* Make G_SetGameModified only console-print for major mods.
* Add amnesty to "major mod" detection while loading files with custom savedatas.
* Improved the console prints for command `isgamemodified`.
(Huge change: NO_MIDI is now a define, simply because that makes it easier for me to resolve merge conflicts if I can see the original code and the new code. Also means that people who REALLY miss MIDI can compile & fix it themselves :P)
This now means:
* Lua strings longer than 1024 chars can now be read properly without awful crashes
* Lua strings with embedded zeros can be written/read without truncating anything (hopefully)
It's cut down already outside of levels, needed to stop Lua sending mobj references during intermission though.
This is needed because in the past there was a separate way to send player information to joiners that has since been removed. Meaning player information is always desynched for joiners during anything but levels.
* ArchiveTables: print an error if invalid key, to alert script author potentially
* UnArchiveTables: if the key is found to be nil after reading key and value, print an error and don't set them in the table
Apart from the fact that UnArchiveValue reads UINT16 for both anyway (which alone causes problems), but UINT8 isn't even enough to store the higher end of the object types list and definitely most of the states welp
--------
Hardcoded Collide.lua.
Added player boolean array "Collide", used by Collide.lua.
Walls are now bouncy by default again, like they were in 1.09.
Buffed Orange Drift sparks, the boost now lasts 60 frames up from 40.
To re-enable support for the above, uncomment the define HAVE_LUA_SEGS line in lua_script.h. Plain bbox userdata stuff is not disabled (though currently it's not used anyway)
my P_SearchBlockmap_* functions are now a single searchBlockmap function, you can choose between "objects" and "lines" with the first arg to decide what to iterate through. I also rearranged the argument order a bit for easy stack cleanup etc
I'll remove the old stuff later, don't worry, it's disabled for now
That's supposed to be run once a frame, not once per hook
per mobj per frame you moron. If you just run it seven
thousand times a frame, of course your framerate will drop.
Angles now go from 0 to 0xFFFF (360 degrees == FRACUNIT) instead
of using a full UINT32. Lua only has one number type, so signedness
gets in the way of using angle_t directly. This handling of angles
matches up with how ZDoom ACS scripting and the like does it.
I also changed all the integer casts and pushes of fixed_t to
their own macro in preperation for possible future seperation.
