The historical savegame format cannot support finding a mission in a
subdirectory. Add a backwards-incompatible modification to store the
full path in the savegame, and store it in a way that old versions will
fail gracefully.[1] When loading demos, or legacy savegames, search for
the mission in all available directories. Demos are still written with
an unqualified path because the demo loading code would crash if given
an oversized path. Mission names sent over the network as part of
multiplayer use the guess logic now, so that guests do not need to have
the mission in the same path as the host.
[1] Versions affected by issue #486 may fail ungracefully.

- In D2X, do not accept Descent2-specific directives from Descent 1
`.msn` files.
- Set the descent_version field correctly in the `mle`. Previously,
`.msn` was set to descent1 and all `.mn2` were set to descent2,
regardless of whether the `.mn2` used `name`, `xname`, `zname`, or
`!name`.
- Avoid rewinding the file and rereading the same line while checking
the possible name types.
- Avoid recomputing end-of-string when it is already known.
- Avoid re-reading the mission file's version when the mission is
chosen. Instead, use the version that was recorded when the mission
was loaded into the mission list. This also fixes a bug where Descent
1 `.msn` files would be classified as descent_version_type::descent2
since both use `name =`, but that string has a different meaning
depending on whether the file is `.msn` or `.mn2`.
endlevel wants to freeze the console player's last in-mine position.
Instead of copying the position out and back, refactor the flow to let
endlevel skip the update of the position.
Only the console player's last position needs to be remembered across
frames. Copy the console player's position out before processsing
object movement. For all other objects, retain a temporary for use by
the position recovery code.
Various functions need to access both `shared_segment` and
`unique_segment` data. Using `segment &` for this blocks eliminating
the `segment` type. Add `susegment` and type aliases to it.
`susegment` records a reference to a `shared_segment` and a
`unique_segment` together, so that users cannot accidentally mismatch
`shared_segment` #1 with `unique_segment` #2 when passing references
down to a function which needs both `shared_segment` and
`unique_segment`.
Difficulty_level_type is used in arithmetic expressions. If
Difficulty_level_type is unsigned, then those expressions use unsigned
terms, but some of the expressions were designed to use signed terms and
produce incorrect results when used with unsigned terms. There is no
strong reason to make Difficulty_level_type unsigned, so switch it to
signed instead of trying to fix every site that uses it.

Descent 2 has a hack, present as far back as I can trace, that
suppresses starting sounds during level load. The original reason was
not recorded, but this hack has the useful side effect that it avoids
using uninitialized data when set_sound_sources tries to use a Viewer
that has not been reset for the objects of the new level.
Descent 1 lacks this hack, so an invalid Viewer is used, which may
trigger a valptridx trap if the undefined data has an invalid segment
number, and could cause memory corruption in builds which do not
validate the segment index. The valptridx trap:
```
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'valptridx<dcx::segment>::index_range_exception'
what(): similar/main/digiobj.cpp:389: invalid index used in array subscript: base=(nil) size=9000 index=65021
```
The backtrace leading to the trap:
```

Backport this hack into Descent 1. Ultimately, the hack should go away
and data should be loaded in an order that does not access undefined
memory.

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.
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
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.
