This commit changes the style of tes3mp serverside scripting mods. Short list of changes:
* Break compatibility with old server mods
* OOP style lua API
* Basic dependency checker, allowing the installation of multiple server mods without changing configs
* Remove support for C++ plugins
* Change outdated LuaBridge to [sol2](https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2);
* Support GCC, Clang and MSVC compilers
* New environment variables: "TES3MP_SERVER_DIR" and "TES3MP_SERVER_USERDIR";
* New entity "Command controller" for registering new chat commands;
* New Event system
* Simplified Timer API
* All Lua mods now run in their own environments
* Add global namespace - Data that can be used for communicating between mods
* Player and Actor inherit base class NetActor
This should allow OpenMW to work better with git versions of openscenegraph. OSG dev version 3.5.5 added the setting of thread affinity for the main thread. The problem is that in the boost/standard threading libraries, the affinity of a thread is inherited by any further threads launched from that thread, leading to these threads always running on the same core as the main thread unless you tell them not to.
With OpenThreads, the default affinity of a thread is none, no matter what parent thread it was launched from.
So, when using custom threading with OSG 3.6+, we have these options:
1. explicitely tell OSG to *not* set the thread affinity
or 2. explicitely set the thread affinity of additional threads created (possible with boost, but not possible with std::thread)
or 3. use OpenThreads
or 4. accept the suboptimal performance of non-OSG threads (in OpenMW's case the sound streaming & video threads) running on the same core as the main thread
This patch opts for 3.)
