Alter World to use Persistence instead of storing data in historical figures.
Fake historical figures will be converted to the new format when a world is loaded.
Added plugin_save and plugin_load functions to the plugin API.
Made the weird int7/int28 code that was in the old persistence API slightly safer.
I noticed that tthread is missing some c++11 features that make thread
handling code a bit easier. To be able to use those features I decided
to convert Core.cpp to use equivalent standard classes.
This patch has no functional changes.
This requires plugins to pass plugin_self to Screen::show(), but
avoids the need to implement special checks in plugin_onstatechange
for the SC_BEGIN_UNLOAD event.
* load/unload/reload are no longer restricted to plugins that exist
on startup
* Names passed to DFHACK_PLUGIN must match the plugin's filename
(remotefortressreader vs RemoteFortressReader, counters vs probe)
* "plug" output lists all plugins and state/command information
* Deleted plugins can be reloaded again if they are replaced
* load/unload/reload don't fail silently with broken plugins
* Built-in commands are recognized internally (e.g. "help help"
does not display "help is not a recognized command"), although help
for them is not yet implemented
* New command: "type" (bash-like) - shows where/how a command is
implemented
* "plug" can accept multiple plugin names
* "ls" displays more information about unloaded/unrecognized plugins
* "load all" changed to "load -all" (or "load --all", "load -a", ...)
git is run every time 'make' is run, but the generated include file
is only updated when necessary. Plugins will be loaded successfully
if their DFHack version matches core's (assuming OpenLibrary()
succeeds), but will produce a warning if their git commit doesn't
match core's.
This allows completely avoiding the call overhead if there
are none. The downside is that the event object now has to
be a userdata with lots of metamethods.
