Another big one. Here's a list of things:
- Since the upcoming C23 standardises typeof(), use it as an extension
for the time being in order to allow passing arbitrary types as
macro/codegen parameters. It wouldn't have been a big leap to do this
even without standardisation since it's apparently an easy extension
to implement - and also, to be honest, this project is essentially glued
to Clang anyway so who cares.
- Likewise, bool, true and false are becoming pre-defined, so
pre-pre-define them now in order to get the benefit of not having to
remember one header everywhere.
- Really ungodly/amazing vcall macro stuff now allows us to call C++
virtual functions like regular C functions. It's pretty cool!
- Events can now take arbitrary parameters and come in two types:
regular events and predicates.
All this makes the base code even uglier but makes the feature
implementation nicer. In other words, it places more of the cognitive
burden on myself and less on other people who might want to contribute.
This is a good tradeoff, because I'm a genius.

This is for somewhat later. I'd always planned to use it - it existed
already in earlier private repos, in fact. I just didn't bother to
import it here in case it wouldn't actually be needed, but with the way
current plans are going, it's definitely going to be needed, so here it
is.

hook_inline() uses the new x86_len() function to get instruction lengths
instead of doing full-blown disassembly, which should be a tiny bit
quicker, and also removes the next for about 90KiB of lookup tables and
such in the final binary. The code-digging logic in demorecord is also
rewritten to be opcode-based rather than mnenmonic based. In general,
going forward the plan is to always rely on opcodes and thus avoid a
bunch of disassembly work every plugin load.
udis86 is still in the tree for now to provide dbg_asmdump(), but it's
only compiled into debug builds and left out of releases completely. As
such, the whole BSD licence statement is also gone from the distribution
LICENCE files. There's now also a dbg_toghidra() which spits out a
rebased address to look stuff up for proper reverse engineering, which
might be more useful than dbg_asmdump() anyway. If nobody ends up using
the latter ever again, udis86 could get chucked completely. We'll see.
Also shoehorned into this commit are a couple more forgotten copyright
year bumps and some general minor cleanup here and there, because I
couldn't be bothered wading through all the diff hunks. Oh, and
makebindist.bat now makes an effort to make the zip file timestamps
predictable/reproducible. That should be a different commit for sure,
but oh well too bad.

I had plans to use these at some point but never did. Maybe I still will
later but listing them otherwise is a bit confusing and weird, and stems
from an oversight when I initially imported all the early dev stuff into
the public Git tree.

With code from Bill. Thanks Bill!
