Resolves https://gitlab.com/OpenMW/openmw/-/issues/8100
Also removes some old crud.
Hopefully the old crud is all:
* Handled automatically by CMake now we're using the modern approach.
* A hack-fix for a problem caused by not using the modern approach.
* Massively outdated so no longer necessary.
If it turns out this makes CI fail, I'll tweak things as necessary.
Changes that might not be wanted include:
* Getting rid of our BOOST_STATIC CMake option. In cases where the CMake config doesn't make the one correct choice from the build environment (i.e. because there's a choice) the CMake config exposes the option already.
However, we were forcing this on for Windows, so that might matter.
It seems to default to static on my machine even though I thought I read something suggesting otherwise, so we'll see how things go with that.
If we eventually put CMake in charge of installing dependency DLLs this will be a moot point as we won't need to care.
* Bumping the minimum version of Boost to 1.70.0, as that's the first with working CMake config.
It's from 2019, so plausibly there are distros too scared to use a library from five years ago as it can't legally drink in the US (although it could in limited quantities with parental supervision in the UK, as long as it's just something inconsequential like a single sip of beer).
Portable Launcher (plus a whole slew of bugs fixes for problems I found that I suspect aren't on the tracker)
Closes#6846
See merge request OpenMW/openmw!3925
Previously it was quasi-mandatory - lots of things would add it, e.g. when running openmw through the CS, but it could technically be disabled.
Now it's treated like the resources/vfs directory and implicitly added by the engine etc.
Use LRU cache for ESMReaders. When cache capacity is reached close least
recently used ESMReader. Remember the file name if a reader was open. Once the
reader requested again open the file if there is stored name for it. Put
released ESMReader to the back of the free items list. Close ESMReader's from
the front of the free items list.
Cached item can be used only by one client at the same time. If the same item is
requested twice exception is thrown. This should never happen in practice. If
this happens need to fix the client logic.
It's allowed to go over the capacity limit when requesting different readers.
Ideally this should never happen but there will be system error anyway
signalizing about too many open files. Need to fix client logic in this case.
All places that were using a vector of ESMReaders now using the cache. Cache is
local for each use case and there is no need for a thread safety.
