2465: Sqlite3 support and prepared statements r=heinrich5991 a=Zwelf
This PR changes the abstraction layer of the score backend to thin abstractions over the MySQL and SQLite3 library. It executes all Queries in one worker thread making it easier to use the ddnet thread pool. This doesn't change much, because each the mysql-connection was locked with `m_SqlLock` beforehand, serializing writes and reads respectively.
Behavior change (even though I tried to minimize them):
* `sv_use_sql` is used to determine if mysql server should be added
* `sv_sql_failure_file` is replaced by `sv_sqlite_file`
* `sv_sqlite_file` is either used as a backup server when `sv_use_sql` is enabled or as the primary read+write server when `sv_use_sql` is disabled
* `/load` now escapes the like-string
Since I am not good at designing config file commands, I would appreciate feedback on this part.
WIP:
* [x] rewrite SQL statements to work in both MySQL and SQLite (preferable just ANSI-SQL)
* [x] create tables (`COLLATE BINARY` and encoding info)
* [x] store rank (UPSERT for points)
* [x] load birthday (different function in sqlite for time handling)
* [x] `/mapinfo` (`convert(? using utf8mb4) COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci`)
* [x] `/map` (`convert(? using utf8mb4) COLLATE utf8mb4_general_ci`)
* [x] store teamrank (`GROUP_CONCAT`)
* [x] `/teamrank` (`GROUP_CONCAT`)
* [x] ~`/top5team` (`GROUP_CONCAT`)~ doesn't contain GROUP_CONCAT
* [x] `/times` (`UNIX_TIMESTAMP`)
* [x] `/load` without any arguments (`UNIX_TIMESTAMP`)
* [x] all commits compiling, making future bisect easier
* [x] write a sqlite_to_mysql script
* [x] write an old_file_server to sqlite script
* [x] gracefully shutdown DbPool

1845: Fix infectionZ gamemode seen as DDNet r=heinrich5991 a=fokkonaut
InfectionZ's gametype is somehow infection, instead of infectionZ
Co-authored-by: fokkonaut <35420825+fokkonaut@users.noreply.github.com>
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).
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 requested by qshar and KoG players
- Similar to DDNet tab
- Info fetched from servers-kog entry from https://info.ddnet.tw/info
- Also supports countries and types
- Doesn't inform whether map has been finished
- Generalized the code a bit but it's still ugly
- Depends on #1533, also shows KoG servers as official/verified
And persist the result. Helps with the workflow described by Shyzo on
Discord:
> I mean after i press ctrl-f or fetch info. then i want to sort by marker (from ... to 0) and just delete every demo without a marker. either in a whole (not possible i think) or just one by one. but I think after deleting one demo the order of demos change again
> so i have to fetch info again, delete one. fetch info again. delete one
> and so on
Previously it removed one entry from m_aTimestamps before having filled
it entirely, so there was a small chance that it was not the smallest
one. Only after we have filled more entries than we want to keep can we
know which ones can be deleted for sure.

1329: Add support for extra map items in datafiles r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
This works by utilizing the good old UUIDs – this way we can make sure
that we don't clash with other people extending the map format.
Co-authored-by: heinrich5991 <heinrich5991@gmail.com>
SHA256 was chosen because it is reasonably standard, the file names
don't explode in length (this rules out SHA512) and it is supported by
basically all versions of OpenSSL (this rules out SHA512/256 and SHA3).
The protocol is changed in a backward compatible way: The supporting
server sends the SHA256 corresponding to the map in the `MAP_DETAILS`
message prior to sending the `MAP_CHANGE` message. The client saves the
SHA256 obtained from the `MAP_DETAILS` message until the next
`MAP_CHANGE` message.
For servers not supporting this protocol, the client falls back to
simply opening maps like in the previous scheme.
Remove the `map_version` tool, it is not being used and would have been
a little bit effort to update.
Use the OpenSSL implementation of SHA256 if it is supported, otherwise
fall back to a public domain one.

contains the server port, `"player_id"` which contains the calling
player's client ID, `"player_name"` which contains the calling player's

1128: Remove superfluous parameter from `CServer::NewClientNoAuthCallback` r=Learath2 a=heinrich5991
The `Reset` parameter was only ever set to true, at the only call site.
Co-authored-by: heinrich5991 <heinrich5991@gmail.com>
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

1055: Keep track of lost frames and update time r=heinrich5991 a=Jupeyy
The problem a friend was occuring was, that on a fresh Windows install settings like cl_refresh_rate are set to 480.
Since the render calls take longer time than no render calls, it happened that client was sleeping on one update cycle and then took to long in another, where it called the render functions, leeding to less FPS than the cl_refresh_rate. this caused mouse lags and rarely frame drops.
another thing is, that select on Windows is non microsecond accurate, or just often returns too early, which caused that the refresh rate is much too high, or even ignored, (probably windows can only sleep on milliseconds, or again, is extremly inaccurate).
Another things on windows is that time_freq might be a "very odd" number ^^
i mean like on unix it's one microsecond (1,000,000 = 1s), but on windows the time_freq depends on the CPU leading to inaccurate calculation of the sleep time and render time.
This wasn't insanly huge issue, but probably skipped a few microseconds here and there.
This fix should stabilize the frames. I'd like to hear your opinion on this tho.

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.
teehistorian records all inputs from the players as well as the player
positions in each tick. It stores this info in a highly compressible
output format (I've achived 5x compression using xz or bz2).
