Massive fixup for the software renderer to make it an actual viable option

  • gets rid of static screensize buffers, they now get allocated when the resolution changes (this is also a prelim to get rid of the hardcoded video modes), MAXVID has both been raised to 8192 allowing for crazy high resolutions to work without issue
  • Converts a bunch of files to c++ and takes advantage of alot of c++ specifics (std::fill, lambdas and such)
  • Unglobalizes both drawspandata and drawcolumndata, so they´re handled alot safer
  • Optimizing hud drawing a little by inlining the different drawers (thx SRB2classic!)
  • ports over ALOT of fixes from RingRacers and SRB2Classic to fix alot of visual issues and crashes
  • Better sprite sorting against Portals and Fofs
  • Attempts to fix issues with sky drawing (like gacha cup, jelly cup etc), this needs some more testing! seems good enough for now, not perfect (see zigzag forest), but i dont feel like messing around with this anymore atm
  • Fixes issues with flat alignment, especially on slopes
  • Option to always cut cyan pixels on fof planes, toggable with "softwarecyancut", defaults to off for now
  • and finally! Span drawing is now multithreaded (port from Ring Racers) to give a massive performance boost!

This relies on the new makefiles, so that should be merged before
