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).
1678: Handle colors in console r=def- a=Learath2
DEPENDS: #1654
A better way to fix#1581 possibly deprecates #1597

1654: Try working on colors a bit r=def- a=Learath2
There were color functions everywhere, I tried cleaning it up a little. I still couldn't get the roundtrip from Hsl to Rgb to be exactly the same, but I think this is the best possible.

1663: Use freeze end tick instead of a flag. Fix#1659 r=def- a=Learath2
I used -1 for deep frozen, and 0 for not frozen. Not really sure if this is the best way.

Number of minutes of active racing time before being asked to confirm
disconnecting, disconnecting dummy or quitting through GUI. Defaults to
20 minutes, -1 to disable, 0 to always enable.
Also removed confirmation to quit when in main menu, except when having
an unsaved map in editor.
Spectate and kill should already be safe thanks to server-side kill
protection.
As reported by jao on Discord:
22:26 <jao> @Learath2 client auth level needs to reset on server join or something
22:28 <jao> because other servers don't send it
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.
So i swap the fire status on dummyswapping so the server doesn't see any difference even if hamemrfly was used.
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.
