Some flags merit a type other than int8_t. Begin moving flags out to
distinct variables with their own type.
Add static_assert checks that the ABI relevant structures do not change.
After the previous commit, its only purpose is to automatically dismiss
the window after 3 seconds. Users may be surprised by this, and the
automatic dismissal has limited value. Remove it and let the user
remain at the cancel dialog until a decision is made.
This reduces the call depth by one, and eliminates a load of a global
variable that always has the value MULTI_PROTO_UDP. It adds a load of
the address of the empty dispatch object. Overall, this should be an
improvement.
Descent tracked hoard orbs by borrowing the player's proximity bomb
slot. Commit 829e95b6f8 moved proximity
bomb tracking to its own slot, but failed to update the player
death/deres logic accordingly. This caused multiple inconsistencies
when a player was killed in hoard mode:
- The killed player saw the orb drop as expected.
- The killed player _also_ kept the orb in inventory after respawn,
because the counter was not reset.
- Other players saw no orb drop.
Fix the inappropriate retention by resetting the orb count in
init_player_stats_new_ship. Fix the inappropriate failure to drop by
adding a new unconditional field to the player death/deres message. In
hoard games, use it to pass the orb count. In other games, ignore it.

Cross-play between development builds from different commits is never
guaranteed. Increase the protocol version number to force everyone to
sync up. Github user D2Lovin reported that mixing users from two
snapshot builds behaved poorly, but went silent when prompted for more
information. This bump will force users to synchronize, which is a good
idea on principle.

A declaration is useful if it declares an external function. A static
inline declaration, if not followed by the definition later in the same
translation unit, will not be useful. Remove such declarations, and
rely on using the definition as a declaration for those files that
actually call partial_range() or similar functions.
gcc-10 warns that the game information text may be truncated, because it
overestimates the maximum possible length of some strings. Handle the
warning by changing the format string to explicitly truncate these
strings at their maximum legal lengths.
This was requested by a user in early 2018. However, the proposed
prototype was susceptible to various forms of desynchronization, and was
unsuitable for merging. No further revisions were proposed, and the
feature languished. This commit enables the guidebot in cooperative
games and addresses the known synchronization problems, as well as some
other bugs that were uncovered during light testing. This is classified
as an experimental feature because it has not been heavily tested in
complicated games.

- Raise the player limit to 8.
- Remove the logic that forces player counts up/down when switching
between cooperative and deathmatch game modes.
- Add heuristics to add start positions for the extra players, since
standard maps will not have the required number of starts.
