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.

When reporting use of SDL_mixer, report its loaded version. When
running in verbose mode, report both the compile-time and load-time
versions of PhysFS, libSDL, and SDL_mixer.
Some Linux libraries print their own messages to stdout/stderr,
particularly in case of severe errors. Decorate messages generated by
Rebirth to distinguish them from library generated messages.
For specific blacklisted renderers, add a message informing the user
that the blacklist matched and changed settings.
Only one caller exists, and that caller alway passes a non-nullptr
value. Switch to a reference and remove the unused special case to
handle a nullptr input.
Most uses pass an orientation matrix. All sites are deterministic about
whether a matrix is passed. Make the matrix mandatory for sites that
passed it, and split out a separate version of g3_start_instance_matrix
for the 2 sites which do not provide orientation.
Function bm_load does not exist in current tip, 0.58.1-d2x, 0.51-d2x,
nor various early snapshots of D2X (not D2X-Rebirth, just D2X).
Attempting to enable STATION_ENABLED fails without this function. Since
it seems to have been absent for at least 10 years (0.51-d2x tagged Feb
2007), and possibly more than 16 years (D2X snapshots from 2001), it
seems reasonable to assume no one has used this code in any open source
release. Remove it.
This backports into Descent 1 the special-case that loads a Vulcan
cannon when it is dropped. It also fixes a longstanding bug that a
robot that drops more than one of the powerup would fill only one of
them.
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.
(a+i) form assumes that a can be used as the left hand side of
operator+(). This is true for pointers, and for C arrays that degrade
into pointers, but not for C++ std::array. Switch to the explicit
syntax.

Remove the `basic_` prefix from valptridx<T>::basic_ptr, ::basic_idx,
and ::basic_ptridx. Since the public names are typedef aliases of these
classes, these class names appear frequently in debug information and
error messages. The `basic_` prefix is unnecessary. Remove it.
git grep -lz '\<basic_\(ptr\|ptridx\|idx\)\>' -- common/include/ | xargs -0 sed -i -e 's/\<basic_\(ptr\|ptridx\|idx\)\>/\1/g'
Little endian systems stored sound as a `uint32_t`, but sent only the
lowest byte. Store only that byte, since the destination was unaligned
and was the last field in the message.
LTO allows the compiler to prove variable values that non-LTO mode
cannot prove. The workaround for the gcc-7 __builtin_constant_p
quirk incorrectly caused LTO on older gcc to report __builtin_constant_p
as unsupported. Fix this by adding a stub asm() statement to hide the
value of the input parameter from the compiler.

On Windows, the hook function blocks until the user dismisses the
message box. Print the message before opening the message box so that
it is available on the console, if one exists.
