With this PR we refactor a `premultiplied alpha` user string set by `characterpreview.cpp` into a more flexible mechanism allowing us to assign any state to GUI textures. We can consider these changes more future proof than the previous approach.
This PR aims to spark the retirement of a questionable pattern I have found all over our code base. I will illustrate how this pattern encourages code duplication, lacks type safety, requires documentation and can be prone to bugs.
```
std::map<std::string, Object> mMap; // Stored in all lowercase for a case-insensitive lookup
std::string lowerKey = Misc::StringUtils::lowerCase(key);
mMap.emplace(lowerKey, object);
std::string lowerKey = Misc::StringUtils::lowerCase(key);
mMap.find(lowerKey);
mMap.find(key); // Not found. Oops!
```
An alternative approach produces no such issues.
```
std::unordered_map<std::string, Object, Misc::StringUtils::CiHash, Misc::StringUtils::CiEqual> mMap;
mMap.emplace(key, object);
mMap.find(key);
```
Of course, such an alternative will work for a `map` as well, but an `unordered_map` is generally preferable over a `map` with these changes because we have moved `lowerCase` into the comparison operator.
In this PR I have refactored `Animation::mNodeMap` accordingly. I have reviewed and adapted all direct and indirect usage of `Animation::mNodeMap` to ensure we do not change behaviour with this PR.
To construct serializer from given entities:
* Data source/destination - any value that has to be serialized/deserialized,
usually already existing type.
* Format - functional object to define high level serialization logic to
define specific format and data schema. Like order of fields, allocation.
* Visitor - functional object to define low level serialization logic to
operator on given data part.
* BinaryWriter - copies given value into provided buffer.
* BinaryReader - copies value into given destination from provided buffer.
* SizeAccumulator - calculates required buffer size for given data.
This PR fixes a crash caused by the improperly ensured lifetime of RigGeometry::mSourceGeometry. mSourceGeometry was not adequate to ensure mSourceGeometry would outlive mGeometry because we extend mGeometrys lifetime beyond this lifetime by passing mGeometry to the draw traversal instead of this.
In addition,
We add important comments.
We detect and prevent generally unsafe operations in high level code.
We add a sprinkling of const to help clarify intentions.
Currently, we use an `UnrefQueue` which supposedly aims to transfer destruction costs to another thread. The implications of this unusual pattern can not be well understood because some allocators might free resources more efficiently if they are freed by the same thread that allocated them. In addition, `UnrefQueue` complicates the validation of thread safety in our engine. Lastly, our current usage of `UnrefQueue` triggers `ref()`, `unref()` atomic operations as objects are passed into the queue. These operations could be more expensive than the actual destruction.
With this PR we thus remove `UnrefQueue`. We can expect these changes to have a minor impact at most because we free most resources elsewhere in `ResourceSystem::updateCache`.
It can fail due to float arithmetic precision with error:
Expected equality of these values:

We currently build a large map of a BSAFile's contents unused by Open MW. We already map archive contents in VFS. With this PR we remove the map from BSAFile and reimplement its only current use in BSATool.
To reduce amount of computations on the caller side and restrict possible
values.
* verts can't be non-int because it's a number of things.
* worldsize is initially defined as int by ESM::Land::REAL_SIZE.
* Put function to calculate heightfied shift into components to be able to
reuse by other binaries.
We just can no longer use the former ptr.getTypeName() as a fallback, but I do not suppose it matters. This value was an implementation defined string that usually contained a garbled mess.
Probably we should additionally refactor Lua types completely now that we have Ptr::getType(). I will leave this up to MWLua developers.
