With the CMake changes to IrrlichtMt, it's now possible to use a target for IrrlichtMt.
Besides greatly improving the ease of setting up IrrlichtMt for users building the client, it removes the need for Minetest's CMake to include transitive dependencies such as image libraries, cleaning it up a tiny bit. The PR works by finding the IrrlichtMt package and linking to the target it provides. If the package isn't found and it isn't building the client, it will still fall back to using just the headers of old Irrlicht or IrrlichtMt.
The upstream JsonCpp project has renamed the `json/features.h` file to
`json/json_features.h`. This patch fixes the JsonCpp installation search
by looking for `json/allocator.h` which has not been renamed on newer
versions of JsonCpp.
Fixes: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/9119
* Update embedded jsoncpp from unk version to 0.10.6
0.10.6 is last release without c++11
* Make jsoncpp more compliant with its amalgamate
Jsoncpp cpp file should be upper, make the library like it does in amalgamate
* Reorganization: move minetest embedded libs outside of source tree to /lib
* Fix a dead grep in LINT
* Move included json code to jsoncpp subdirectory
This is needed to avoid having to specify the minetest src directory
as a system include when fixing the json includes.
* Fix json includes
They used "", so that the compiler searches the project's directory
first. The result was that when compiling with a system jsoncpp,
the project's own version of json.h was still included, instead of
the system version.
The includes now use <>, so a system location, or one specified with
'-Ilocation' is searched only.
* Fix for jsoncpp deprecated function warning
When compiling with a newer version of jsoncpp (and
ENABLE_SYSTEM_JSONCPP=true), jsoncpp emits a warning
about a deprecated function that minetest uses.
Arch Linux doesn't put it's ncursesw includes inside an ncursesw
directory. This script ends up setting USE_CURSES as true, but
doesn't pick up any of the headers.

On openSUSE luajit is not detected correctly.
This is because openSUSE is using a lua version suffix, like other Linux distributions do it also.
So the include directory is:
include/luajit-5_1-2.0
This adds a chat console the server owner can use for administration
or to talk with players.
It runs in its own thread, which makes the user interface immune to
the server's lag, behaving just like a client, except timeout.
As it uses the same console code as the f10 console, things like nick
completion or a scroll buffer basically come for free.
The terminal itself is written in a general way so that adding a
client version later on is just about implementing an interface.
Fatal errors are printed after the console exists and the ncurses
terminal buffer gets cleaned up with endwin(), so that the error still
remains visible.
The server owner can chose their username their entered text will
have in chat and where players can send PMs to.
Once the username is secured with a password to prevent anybody to
take over the server, the owner can execute admin tasks over the
console.
This change includes a contribution by @kahrl who has improved ncurses
library detection.
This fixes the problem where 0.4.12-dev versions were erroneously shown as
0.4.11-dev because the tag was added on a separate branch. It also fixes a
similar issue when builders didn't fetch new tags when updating.
This also removes the number-of-commits-since-tag field, since it's
incompatible with this. Said field doesn't seem to be useful anyway if you
have the commit hash.
* Combine client and server man pages.
* Update unit test options and available databases in man page.
* Add `--worldname` to man page.
* Fix a bunch of places where `"Minetest"` was used directly instead of `PROJECT_NAME`.
* Disable server build by default on all operating systems.
* Make `ENABLE_FREETYPE` not fail if FreeType isn't found.
* Enable LevelDB, Redis, and FreeType detection by default.
* Remove the `VERSION_PATCH_ORIG` hack.
* Add option to search for and use system JSONCPP.
* Remove broken LuaJIT version detection.
* Rename `DISABLE_LUAJIT` to `ENABLE_LUAJIT`.
* Rename `minetest_*` variables in `version.{h,cpp}` to `g_*`.
* Clean up style of CMake files.
Linux distributions prefer to link against a shared version of the Irrlicht
engine instead of using embedded code copies of the same. Search for this
shared version first and use that but fall back to the static version if it
does not exist.
