This removes the horrible janky old KeyValues parser and replaces it
with a couple of trivial ad-hoc text parsers. In doing so, make the
format of the actual gamedata files more human-friendly too.
We also gain support for nested SendTables in mkentprops, which are
required to get at various things like player velocity. And, the actual
string matching is made more efficient (or, at least, more scalable) by
way of a cool radix tree thing which generates a bunch of switch cases
on distinct characters.

My new programming style is branch hints. All non-confusing branches
must be hinted when I can be bothered. It's faster, sometimes, maybe.
Also, start trying to use more signed sizes in at least some of the
places where it makes sense. Unsigned sizes are surprisingly
error-prone!

This is kind of a breaking change but the other code was obviously never
released or relied on by anyone - it will be pushed at the same time as
this in fact. It still seems worth having the original committed
separately to show the progression of development of the feature,
however. Technically the standalone vote cooldown resetting could also
be added back if ever desired however there doesn't seem to be that much
of a use case for that at the moment.
This feature ought to be a lot more convenient now as it allows for
resetting back to a set starting point no matter where the player is in
a run. It isn't universally useful as All Campaigns Legacy solo runs
require switching to a different type of server and Main Campaigns co-op
runs require restarting the game after Swamp Fever to work around the
god mode bug, however it is still useful in a good few situations.
Unfortunately this turned out to be pretty complex to implement, first
requiring a bunch of interop with valve's rather wacky KeyValues stuff,
and then requiring a bunch of especially difficult reverse engineering
of L4D1 v1.0.0.5 because it doesn't use said KeyValues stuff and does
something else completely different instead.
A side effect of all this work is that the nag removal hack is now part
of the KeyValues stuff in kvsys.c, which is kind of a comfier place for
it than just kind of dumped in the middle of sst.c.

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.

Don't want people hitting a bind by accident and invalidating their runs
instantly.

This was a lot more code than expected, but it might be finally close to
time to release the next beta...
We'll see if any more rabbit holes present themselves to jump into,
though.
