User jcotton42 suggested copying a D2X-XL feature: preserving the
directory structure of the user's missions area when showing a New Game
dialog. This was substantially more trouble than it should have been,
but the result is good.
Previously, the dialog presented all missions at any depth below the
starting point, and sorted them as if they were all in the root
directory.
Now:
- Empty directories are hidden entirely. There is nothing for the user
to do in them, so there is no point showing them.
- A directory with exactly one entry has that entry promoted into the
parent, since there is no ambiguity about what the user would want.
If the parent in turn has only that one promoted element when the scan
of the parent finishes, then the element can be promoted up again.
This continues until the root is reached or until a level has more
than one entry. For this purpose, both missions and directories count
as entries.
- Directory entries are decorated to inform the user how many
immediate subdirectories are present, how many missions are present
immediately in the directory, and how many missions total are present,
counting all subdirectories. If there are zero immediate
subdirectories, then the directory count is not shown. For this
purpose, directories that were hidden due to a lack of missions are
not counted.
- Sub-dialog boxes for inner directories use a title that reminds the
user of the path so far, and recaps the directory/mission statistics.
- On entry to the New Game dialog, if the last played mission is in a
sub-dialog, appropriate sub-dialogs are opened so that the last played
mission can be pre-selected.
Currently, there is no in-game override to return to the prior rollup
rules.

Even when empty and default-constructible, const members must be
explicitly constructed. Add a default constructor to do this.

Using sizeof(con_printf A) was a trick to avoid code generation, but it
interacts badly with gcc-6 and the other macros that con_printf
produces. On >=gcc-6, `DXX_ALWAYS_ERROR_FUNCTION` is a complicated hack
to work around undesirable changes in `__builtin_constant_p`. That hack
includes introducing a dummy type. gcc-6 rejects declaring a type
inside a statement expression inside a sizeof. gcc-7 permits this, so
it went unnoticed.
This particular usage was to prevent future regressions in calls that
had been broken for years without anyone noticing. As such, reverting
to not checking those calls is unlikely to matter.

gcc-5 rejects `V == V::E` where the first V is a variable of type V and
the second V is a scope specifier to indicate the member E in the type
V. gcc-7 permits this.

`memcpy(a, b, strlen(b));` is just a complicated way of writing
`strcpy(a, b);`, but even more dangerous since it omits the null
terminator. `strcpy` on untrusted data is always unsafe, and this data
does not appear to be checked before use. There is no need to copy the
data before using it, so switch to using it in place. This eliminates
the security problem and makes the code slightly smaller.

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.

Various functions are preprocessor-excluded by `BOTTOM_STUFF`, which has
been 0 since btb added it in a196e6d554
(October 2001). It seems unlikely that anyone will miss it.
Prior releases destroyed the control center when the kill goal timer
expired, even if no player had scored any kills. General cleanup of
kill goal quirks eliminated this odd rule, but players liked the old
rule and want it back. Restore it.
Per comment from kreator, some Apple systems now ship without a working
print screen key. It makes no sense to provide print screen support
bound to a key which does not exist. Add `screenshot=none` and activate
it on OS X to remove the unreachable screenshot support.
If the player commits suicide in Descent 2, Point_segs[-2] is accessed
because aip->hide_index = -1, aip->path_length = 0. As a spot fix,
check for underflow and skip the access if it would be out of bounds.
Prior versions of Descent had a bug that specifying `briefing=` did not
inhibit a briefing. Instead the directive was completely ignored. The
engine would then use the auto-detected briefing if one was found. This
quirk was eliminated during refactoring of the mission parsing code.
Unfortunately, some published missions relied on this bug: they ship a
briefing, but their mission file explicitly states that there is no
briefing. Players expect the briefing to play despite the mission
stating that there is none.
Reorder the logic to restore the bug that `briefing=` is ignored.

When using variadic forwarding constructors
(`sconf_cxx11_inherit_constructor=force-failure`) instead of inheriting
constructors, some ternary expressions become ambiguous due to the
inability to forward the `explicit` modifier from the base class
constructor to the derived class. Add explicit type overrides to
disambiguate these expressions to the result that the compiler would
have picked on its own when using inheriting constructors.
Ill-formed levels can provoke this exception. Downgrade the error from
a fatal exception to a CON_URGENT message.
Increase the array size to 32 from D1:7, D2:20, since each element is
only an int.
Switch from an assertion on bitmask overflow to a CON_URGENT warning.

Many gauge functions take the same parameters, and pass those parameters
on to child functions in turn. Bundle common parameters into a few
standard structures, so that adding new context does not need to involve
every function in the chain for every new context value.
If user_settings.sharepath is configured to be blank in SConstruct, omit
the C preprocessor macro SHAREPATH instead of defining it to expand to
an empty string. Adjust the C++ code that uses the macro SHAREPATH to
handle its absence:
- Clearer output in help text
- Skip adding blank SHAREPATH to the PhysFS search path.
As a nice side effect, this enables SHAREPATH on Windows, which could be
helpful for builds shipped with an installer that places game files in a
well-known location (such as "C:\Games\Descent"). Previously,
!defined(__unix__) systems did not add SHAREPATH to the PhysFS search
path, even when one was defined.
