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.

Remove use of object_guidebot_cannot_reach and instead track the
reachability of the object as a separate flag. This allows the game to
remember when an object was found, but unreachable. Previously, it
would store only that some unreachable object was found. Now, it stores
the index of the unreachable object. This extra information is not used
yet.

Fixes: c3cead4319 ("Move Escort_goal_index to d_unique_buddy_state")
Utility xrange, inspired by the Python2 feature of the same name,
provides an object that returns successive values from [start, end). It
is useful when the end index is known in advance, and is particularly
helpful when that index is expensive to recompute.
Fix original bug that buddy was limited to 5 hints per program run, not
5 per boss as it probably should have been.
Due to savegame format limitations, this still is not right. Reloading
the game should restore Buddy_gave_hint_count to its value at save time,
but will not.
When exactly four bytes remain, mvelib will attempt to compute a
past-the-end pointer. Some handlers will dereference this pointer
without rechecking the length. Adjust the header check to require a
non-empty body.

- 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.
`check_effect_blowup` should receive the `laser_info` of the weapon that
caused the blast. Previously, it was given the `laser_info` of the
parent of that weapon. The parent was not of type `OBJ_WEAPON`, so
passing its `laser_info` is meaningless.

Add experimental support for using ADL MIDI instead of SDL for music
playback. Support for ADL MIDI contributed by Github user jpcima. This
feature is minimally supported by the core Rebirth team, but is included
as a courtesy so that users need not patch in support separately.
Suggested-by: jpcima <https://github.com/dxx-rebirth/dxx-rebirth/pull/408>
Add configuration file entries for number of chips, bank index, and
whether to use ADL MIDI. Currently, there is no GUI for this.
Interested users must enable it via direct configuration file editing.
A menu interface will come later.
The movie code assumes that when the topmost window is closed, that
window must have been the movie window, and that the movie data can now
be freed. However, if the movie is paused, a new topmost window is
created to tell the user that the movie is paused. When that topmost
pause window is deleted, the movie code frees the movie data, even
though the movie is not done. Corruption ensues, ultimately leading to
a crash.

This has been broken for more than 5 years and no one reported it.
Perhaps truecolor movies are not used.
