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.

Many of these locals are wasteful, since they are always sized to the
biggest buffer required. This is the minimal and safe solution. Future
work will tune them to the correct size.
`value` is generic and unclear. It is always meant to be used as an
index into the Station array, so rename it `station_idx` to show this.
Define and consistently use `station_none` to represent that no station
is assigned.
Delete stub "compiler-type_traits.h" header. Redirect all uses to the
standard <type_traits> header.

All supported compilers have an acceptable <type_traits>. Commit
4cb3d46148 ("Move <type_traits> test to Cxx11RequiredFeature") made
<type_traits> support mandatory in August and no one has objected.
Remove the indirection and use namespace std directly for type_traits
members.
Previously, valptridx used PREFIX for allow-invalid+mutable, c#PREFIX
for allow-invalid+const, v#PREFIX for require-valid+mutable, vc#PREFIX
for require-valid+const. Convert the types, factories, and all usage
sites to specify a qualifier for all four combinations:
im#PREFIX -> allow-invalid+mutable
ic#PREFIX -> allow-invalid+const
vm#PREFIX -> require-valid+mutable
vc#PREFIX -> require-valid+const

Commit b32298df5a ("Rewrite powerup cap
code to centralize logic") centralized powerup cap code in the
powerup_cap_state class.
Commit 901a554e96 ("New powerup management
code: Addeed functions and packet type to ...") removed all use of
powerup_cap_state, but left the dead implementation present.
Commit 479f5ed584 ("Fix 'format specifies
type 'unsigned short' but the argument has type 'unsigned char''
warning") switched the already dead (but still compiled) code from %hu
to %hhu to fix a warning on OS X. Although the commit was written by
Chris, it was my suggestion to use %hhu. I neglected to test Windows
before suggesting it, so the change went in even though Windows does not
accept %hhu; this broke the Windows build. Fortunately, the code had
been dead for 11 months when the change was made, so the fix for Windows
is to remove the long dead code.
In multi_do_frame(), replace call to window_close(Game_wind) with returning window_event_result::close whenever multi_quit_game is true. Only using this return value where multi_do_frame() is directly called by GameProcessFrame(). multi_quit_game will only be set back to 0 when a new multi game is started.
Closing a window within its handler is problematic - it can result in an unstable state.
Replace call to window_close(Game_wind) with returning window_event_result::close to game_handler. Applies to when there is a failure in net_udp_level_sync(). Closing a window within its handler is problematic - it can result in an unstable state.
To recognize getaddrinfo as supported, require that the AI_* flags
passed to it be usable:
- AI_NUMERICSERV must be defined as a number or be undefined
- If ipv6=1, then AI_V4MAPPED and AI_ALL must be defined as numbers
When getaddrinfo is used, raise _WIN32_WINNT from 0x501 to 0x600.
Otherwise, lower it to 0x500.
The only caller for get_multi_endlevel_poll1 was DoEndLevelScoreGlitz,
which only called it on an unreachable path. That path is now gone, so
remove get_multi_endlevel_poll1.
Rename symbol EDITOR to DXX_USE_EDITOR to show that it is a DXX

manual.

All callers of MultiLevelInv_Count passed a constant value. Factor
out the top level blocks of MultiLevelInv_Count into helper functions,
then create two new functions corresponding to MultiLevelInv_Count(0)
and MultiLevelInv_Count(1), implemented by calling the appropriate new
helper functions.
