2502: Improved dummy switching r=def- a=Fireball-Teeworlds
- Fix a use-after-free when there are no new snapshots for the cl_dummy tee after the switch: #2499 .
- When one of the tees is hooked, cycling through them will no longer show phantom hook for the other tee: https://youtu.be/mxVT4pdyGnU.
- Dummy switch might happen a bit quicker since it doesn't depend on receiving new snapshots.
- Simplified code: m_LastDummy2 is no more.

Add libnotify support for linux client
Also unify notification management
Make libnotify mandatory for the client. It is installed on 100% of Arch

Debian systems are servers.
Detect dependent libraries of `libnotify` using `pkg-config`. Remove
library-specific code from the game module. Decrement refcount for
libnotify notification object before leaving the function.

2071: Add an option to only start a new demo when connect while automatically record demos r=def- a=sirius1242
Origin auto demo recording of ddnet will generate lots of demo files especially when playing in mods which have shorter rounds, such as infclass. I added a new option to open a new demo file only when connect to server (include map changing), this is disabled by default, and can use `cl_auto_demo_on_connect 1` to open. It works only when `cl_auto_demo_record` open.

OK, maybe not actually remove because it is kept for fallback when the
new method isn't available.
The whole gametype parsing business had the same downsides as user agent
parsing on the web, hence I removed it while keeping behavior the same.
This allows servers to explicitly opt in or out of certain bug
workarounds and other client behavior. This increases the complexity of
different configurations that are available in the client (which is a
bad thing).
1775: Fix prediction of non-grabbed hook r=def- a=trml
Fix#1766.
Turns out the bug was not just in the rendering, but in the prediction itself (hooks were not predicted unless/until they grabbed on to something). I compared with an older client (and the old implementation) and this seems like it will restore the old behavior.

1620: Rewrite of prediction code, with additional prediction (updated) r=def- a=trml
This is a reworked attempt at a rewrite of the prediction code (#464), to allow for more client side prediction. It doesn't fix the duplication of server code, but the client code should otherwise be cleaner. This includes separating prediction code out of gamecore/gameclient, and a refactor of the rendering of predicted characters.
There is also prediction for some new things, and some other changes:
- prediction of laser, shotgun, ninja, fng hammer, pickups and ddrace tiles (freeze/unfreeze tiles with cl_predict_freeze)
- laser and bullets are rendered when you fire them and bullets don't go through walls (when both cl_antiping_grenade and cl_antiping_weapons are enabled)
- antiping for flags
- prediction of dummy input
- an additional smoothing option that attempts to make antiping less jumpy (cl_antiping_smooth)

Old color was rgb = (0.78, 1.0, 0.8)
In hsl = (125°, 100%, 89%)
Converted to hex hsl:
H = 125° / 360° * 255 = 89 = 0x59
S = 100% = 0xFF
since the TW HSL color system fobids too dark colors it uses l = 0.5 + 0.5*L/255
so L = (0.89 - 0.5) * 2*255 = 199 = 0xC7
So in total we get 0x59FFC7 = 5898183

If the latest fire input and the current differ in any way it causes firing.
So if you switch dummy after hammerfly was used it causes a weaponfire.
This unwanted fireing caused many unlucky fails for me already.

Replace `mem_free` by `free`, and `mem_alloc` by `malloc` or `calloc`
(the latter one being used to allocate a zeroed array of elements,
sometimes, this makes a call to `mem_zero` superfluous).
This results in having to remove `mem_stats` which previously recorded
the number of allocations and their size that the Teeworlds code did
directly.
Remove OOM handling in `src/game/client/components/binds.cpp`.
Remove needless copying in the CSV code in
`src/game/client/components/statboard.cpp`.
`str_utf8_isspace` now returns true if the passed code point renders as
a space, instead of when not.
Add `str_utf8_trim_right`, use this function and
`str_utf8_skip_whitespaces` in the server.
Add tests for the three functions

869: Complete rework of the ghost and race recorder r=Learath2 a=Redix
This PR fixes a lot of issues with the ghost and race recorder, introduces a new ghost file format and implements some pretty useful features.
**A quick overview:**
- When you cross the start line multiple times, both (ghost and recorder) will only restart if it is a non-solo server
- If available, both will use the race timer to recognize the start instead of searching for the start line
- Fastcap support for both
- The recorder immediately starts when the Tee spawns, so the preparation steps (which are quite important for speedruns) will be included in the demo. If you do not cross the start-line within 20 seconds, it will stop the demo until you really start.
- Better ghost menu (colors, reloading, deleting and saving ghosts)
- The ghosts are more resistant against lags (old ones were sometimes completely useless due to small lags)
- New ghosts files are significantly smaller
- Cleanup, bugfixes..
**About the new ghost format (version 4/5):**
This format is used by Teerace for over a year now. The code for handling the binary files was moved to the engine. It includes an auto updater which creates a backup of all ghosts and converts them to the new format afterwards. The major differences from the format used by DDNet right now (version 2), are the ability to store multiple types of data, the usage of delta-encoding and a more portable header.
For whatever reason, the ghost stores values for every predicted tick, but without tick information, so lost snapshots can make them unusable. The new code uses the original values from the snapshots including ticks but it can also handle the old ones without. Since hardly any server uses the high bandwidth option this practically reduces the file size.
Like the demo recorder the ghost recorder directly stores the data to a file (every 50 snapshots) instead of writing the whole file at the end of the race. Indeed this can be changed with only a few lines if the old behavior is preferred.
The updater can handle version 2 (DDNet) and 3 (old teerace format, only slightly different from version 2) files. The updating already happens when the files are scanned for generating the list in the menu and not only when you activate them. The change from version 4 to 5 was only needed due to a bug in the implementation, the ghost loader can read both.
Some numbers about the file size: (map: hotrun, both about 30 seconds)
- Old ghost: 30.4 kB (converted: 10.7 kB)
- New ghost: 5.4 kB
**One thing about the race recorder:**
The old implementation compared the new file only with the first file it found for the particular map. The new one compares with all related demos and deletes them possibly, so that only the best demo is left. Since DDNet can also store the demos without name, this might also delete demos from other players, that you might have in your directory.
To prevent this I at least check whether the demo contains the player name if `cl_demo_name` is on.
In my opinion the better solution would be to remove `cl_demo_name` and always use the player name.
