Specifically when building in debug mode, we now:

* Display all features on load, including skipped and internal ones,
  sorted by internal name instead of display name.

* Print the names of all matched gametype tags after the feature list.

* Add an sst_dbg_getcmdcb command to get the address of a command
  callback for quick breakpoint insertion or Ghidra lookup.

* Add an sst_dbg_sendtables command to dump out the full ServerClass
  tree to help get names for entprops.txt. Note: this output is very
  long so you'll likely need to log console output to a file to be able
  to read it all.

There's a bunch of developer experience and debug help stuff I want to
get done eventually. This is just a very small piece, but it's a start.

This will help catch bugs in code, including incorrect use of
unreachable/assume() macros.

Best to test our assumptions before relying on them.

This probably works for basically every game, but it was only tested for
L4D/L4D2/L4D:S/Portal 2.

This should greatly improve the experience of running newest/TLS as well
as custom campaigns.

The bugginess in question is quite a lot to explain so there's some
rather substantial exposition via code comments. The actual fixes are
comparatively simple, although still a little subtle to get exactly
right and took a few iterations to nail down the edge cases.

Thanks to bill for helping me with the RE &amp; assistance on writing the
hooks/code and so on. I tracked down a lot of this myself, but the end
result wouldn't have been possible without his help.

Committers' note: I ended up wrangling this change a fair bit, as I am
apparently just always wont to do, and also fixed a bug in the process,
hence adding my copyright notice as well. Nonetheless, big thanks to
aciidz (and bill) for doing the bulk of the *actual* hard work of
figuring out how to do any of this! The actual code changes I made to
the original submitted patch were relatively minor; a lot of my effort
honestly went into attempting to shorten the massive wall of comment
text. At the end of the day, there's still a really long comment, but
it's just a lot to explain really so it is what it is. I hope it's at
least somewhat understandable to a reader, anyway.

<title>Rewrite and redesign codegen and feature system</title>

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.

Committer's note: this is heavily modified from the original code
contributed by woz (and somewhat improved by bill and aciidz). Copyright
notices reflect joint authorship accordingly. woz still gets commit
authorship though because it feels wrong to yoink that from someone. :^)

And yes, the original code was written in 2022. Time flies.

A lot of the code is still kind of hacky and ugly and I'd like to
improve it later but there's other things to do so that can wait.

This isn't totally ideal - it'd be nice to have a way to get colours
working, at least for errors/warnings. But it might not really be
possible to do that without custom networking stuff, so this will do for
the forseeable future. The main goal is just to be able to have
CON_SERVERSIDE commands actually give output to the relevant player.

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.
