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.
The new tracker automatically exposes LAN games to the Internet. This
surprised one user rather badly, prompting him to think he had been
hacked. Add a first-host warning explaining the feature and asking the
user to choose whether to enable NAT hole punch.

digi_play_sample_once is supposed to cancel prior instances of the
sound, but that functionality was lost in
21082c6db2. As a result, the sound can be
stacked up to the limit of the engine. Even when the functionality
existed, its implementation was wrong.
- Change these sounds to be attached to the player generating them.
- Pass the cancellation flag to other players when sending a sound.
- Send the full value of `volume`, rather than truncating it.
- Implement cancellation by killing and restarting the earlier version of a cancelled sound.
- Delete an ugly hack that prevented the patched logic from ever running.
- Fix an ancient quirk in digi_mixer that caused it to report all sounds as not playing, which then caused digi_sync_sounds to instantly cancel the new sound.

Commit f4b21088a0 ("Track vulcan ammo explicitly") fixed an original
retail bug that prevented the thief from stealing energy weapons,
because the thief could only steal weapons for which the player had ammo
and energy weapons never have ammo. This went unremarked for several
years, until a recent report of the new semantics as a game-breaking
regression because the thief is now "ridiculously potent".
Address this report, as well as an intermittently raised issue from
various users over time, by adding two new knobs to both the single
player "Gameplay" menu and the multiplayer setup screen: "Remove Thief
at level start" and "Prevent Thief Stealing Energy Weapons".
"Remove Thief" deletes the thief object during level load. It has no
impact on save games, and changing it after entering a level has no
effect on any thief already in the level.
"Prevent Thief Stealing" is checked at the moment of theft and, when
enabled, prevents stealing primary weapons other than Vulcan/Gauss.
This can be changed at will in single player and is immediately
effective. In multiplayer, this option can only be changed by the game
host in the pre-game setup.
For both knobs, there is one pair of checkboxes to control this as a
player preference, which applies in single player games. There is a
second pair of checkboxes in the multiplayer setup, which applies only
to multiplayer games. Therefore, in multiplayer, the host chooses thief
settings and all clients use the host's choice. The host may configure
the thief differently in multiplayer from how the host plays in single
player.
For users who wanted to remove the thief, no specific tally has been
kept for who requested it or when. Now that the code is being updated,
this is thrown in as an easy addition.
