This isn't really making a difference right now but maybe it will in
future builds with different section padding or LTO optimiser
interactions or whatever.

This probably should have been the design from the start.

It's still possible to use void pointers, and this is done in a couple
of places for simplicity, but wherever possible, we have actual structs
for things now.

Additionally, in places where vtables are fiddled with, e.g. vtable
hooks, we have actual struct definitions with vtable pointers so there's
need for pointer-casting horror.

They're legally unnecessary as far as I know, and kind of annoying to
maintain on a long-term basis.

This was done with the consent of all 3 other contributors, in case
anyone was wondering.

Also switch to somewhat proper C23 flags while we're at it.

This is a huge change. It took me forever, in between being really busy.
Sorry about that. But the good news is I'm now free to start integrating
the various patches that have accumulated since last release. Well, at
least in between still being really busy. Gotta manage expectations.

The main benefit of introducing GAMESPECIFIC() is that features
that don't apply to a particular game no longer show up *at all*, and
less time is wasted on init. It also enables a cool optimisation wherein
unnecessary REQUIRE_GAMEDATA() checks can elided at compile time
whenever the gamedata is known up-front to always exist in supported
games.

The DEF_FEAT_CVAR macro family meanwhile makes it easier to manage the
lifecycle of cvars/ccmds, with less manual registering, unhiding and
such.

Originally I was going to try and just hack these features into the
existing codegen abomination, but it just got too terrible. This rewrite
should make it easier to continue tweaking codegen behaviour in future.
It also has slightly better error messages.

Restricted to L4D for now due to known ABI compatibility issues on other
branches. This should be easy to fix later when needed elsewhere.

Committer's note: I've counted myself as a joint author and added a
copyright notice to the .c file since this code is reasonably
modified from the code bill originally wrote last year.
but June of this year and , so I've gone ahead and
corrected his copyright notice too, with permission.
