Commit 0df57f5b0f changed markers' movement type from MT_NONE to
MT_SPINNING, since retail code assigned a spin rate, suggesting markers
were meant to spin. However, in some anarchy games, markers are used as
player-positioned cameras. Spinning the cameras makes them hard to use.
Resolve this by preventing markers from spinning in such games.

Each axis can act as two buttons in both ways.
For example, a player might map slide left and slide right to J1 -A1 and J1 +A1 as button presses instead of the slide L/R axis.
This is mostly to fix XBox 360 Controller Left and Right triggers. But it can work on every axis if the player wishes to bind them.
Defer decreasing energy/vulcan until the object is confirmed to be
created. This avoids charging the player for a shot that cannot be
created due to object exhaustion.
Defer updating Next_laser_fire_time, so that a player can immediately
try firing again.
Defer decreasing energy (for flares) or secondary weapon count (for
secondaries) until the object is confirmed to be created. This avoids
charging the player for a shot that cannot be created due to object
exhaustion.
Otherwise, unless FrameTime exceeds Final_boss_countdown_time in a
single frame, the time never advances and the level never ends.

The prior commit fixed the problem of a blank pilot name for new games,
but loading an existing save game uses a different path and still did
not set the player's callsign. Set it on load, too.
Fixes: 0c7de10512 ("Track chosen pilot name outside Players[]")
Single player games relied on the quirk that the pilot's name was always
kept in Players[], even outside a game. Commit 0c7de10512 removed
that quirk, which had the unintended consequence that single player
games are now played by the anonymous pilot. Set the player's callsign
during game setup so that the high score entry can be attributed
correctly.

Commit e6169f17f9 switched from searching `Data/` to searching
`data/`. For users on case-insensitive filesystems, this is a no-op and
the instructions that reference the `Data` directory continue to work.
For users on case-sensitive filesystems, the change broke accessing the
data directory, and caused the instructions to mislead. Given the age
of the commit, fixing the capitalization now will likely cause more
problems than it solves. Instead, fix the capitalization of the
instructions, so that users who follow the documentation get a working
setup.

If the level was not the most recently played, a save is forced so that
it can be marked as most recently played. However, the logic to force
the save also forced an update of the highest-level field, even if that
reduced it.
- Rename the parameter to clarify its meaning.
- Add comments explaining the logic to force the save.
- Only update the highest-level field when the update would increase the saved value
If a guided missile is in flight, and its owning player dies, the
player's type is changed to OBJ_GHOST. The damage that killed the
player should have put the guided missile into autonomous mode, so for
this purpose, return that the missile is not actively guided.

The subcanvas is positioned based on the dimensions of the containing
window, so it must be repositioned if the outer window is resized.

exit_segnum is set during load_endlevel_data, which currently runs too
early for this to depend on the exit used, and thus to be player-unique.
That data should be loaded at need, when the level ends, rather than
during level setup. This can be addressed later, when support for
multiple exits is improved.
transition_segnum is a function of how the player exited the mine, since
there could be multiple exit tunnels, although current code appears not
to handle that well in other places. Therefore, it needs to be
per-player data, not part of the level data, where it would not depend
on the player exiting.
This could be a shared variable instead, since it cannot be directly
influenced by gameplay. However, it is influenced by the game mode, and
keeping shared variables that are mode-specific would be more complexity
for very little savings.
Zico's commit 38fabd7c49 open-coded a test for a robot smart mine. So
far, this is the only place it is needed, but others might arise. Move
the test and its comment out to a static helper function.
As documented in zico's commit 38fabd7c49, robot smart mines have a
different ID number than player smart mines. Rename the test functions
to clarify that they only recognize player smart mines, but not robot
smart mines.
