The Atomic implementation was only partially correct, and was very complex.
Use locks for sake of simplicity, following KISS principle.
Only remaining atomic operation use is time of day speed, because that
really is only read + written.
Also fixes a bug with m_time_conversion_skew only being decremented, never
incremented (Regresion from previous commit).
atomic.h changes:
* Add GenericAtomic<T> class for non-integral types like floats.
* Remove some last remainders from atomic.h of the volatile use.
It isn't possible to use atomic operations for floats, so don't use them there.
Having a lock is good out of other reasons too, because this way the float time
and the integer time both match, and can't get different values in a race,
e.g. when two setTimeofDay() get executed simultaneously.
Cleanup:
* Remove volatile keyword, it is of no use at all. [1]
* Remove the enable_if stuff. It had no use either.
The most likely explanation why the enable_if stuff was there is that it
was used as something like a STATIC_ASSERT to verify that sizeof(T) is not larger
than sizeof(void *). This check however is not just misplaced in a place where we
already use a lock, it isn't needed at all, as gcc will just generate a call to
to the runtime if it compiles for platforms that don't support atomic instructions.
The runtime will then most likely use locks.
Code style fixes:
* Prefix name of the mutex
* Line everything up nicely, where it makes things look nice
* Filling \ continuations with spaces is code style rule
Added operations on the atomic var:
* Compare and swap
* Swap
The second point of the cleanup also fixes the Android build of the next commit.

On Windows Release x64 bit build this changes:
ProfilerGraph::put
1.68% -> 0.061%
ProfilerGraph::draw
12% -> 17.%
So yes, there is a tradeoff between saving profiling data
(executed always) and drawing the profiler graph (executed very rarely).
But usually you don't have the profiler graph open.
For several years now, the lua script lock has been completely broken.
This commit fixes the main issue (creation of a temporary rather than
scoped object), and fixes a subsequent deadlock issue caused by
nested script API calls by adding support for recursive mutexes.
When compiled with optimizations, the most recent versions of clang seem
to 'optimize' out a crucial "and %reg, 0x7FFFFFFF" instruction in noise2d(),
probably because it somehow assumed the variable n would never become greater
than that amount.
Indeed, signed integer underflow is undefined behavior in C and C++, so while
this optimization is "correct" in that sense, it breaks lots of existing code.
Solved by changing n to an unsigned type, making behavior well-defined.
Previously, the server called FATAL_ERROR when a Lua error occured.
This caused a (mostly useless) core dump.
The server now simply throws an exception, which is caught and printed before
exiting with a non-zero return value.
This also fixes a number of instances where errors were logged multiple times.
Increase default from 6 to 16 to help with mgv7 and mgfractal
Large-scale or alternative mapgens can result in a lowland spawn point not
being found, causing a spawn at (0, 0, 0) possibly buried underground
The max height is now settable to allow correct player spawn
in any mapgen or when using custom noise parameters
Use this macro to disallow copying of an object using the assignment
operator or copy constructor. This catches otherwise silent-but-deadly
mistakes such as "ServerMap map = env->getMap();" at compile time.
If so desired, it is still possible to copy a class, but it now requires
an explicit call to memcpy or std::copy.
-> Put access to time variables under the time lock.
-> Merge both time locks, there is no point to have two locks.
-> Fix the lock being released too early in Environment::setTimeOfDay
-> Add serverside getter so that you don't have to get
the environment if you only have the server
Previously, the invocation of Logger::addOutput(ILogOutput *out) led to
an out of bounds write of the m_outputs vector, resulting in the
m_silenced_levels array being modified.
Fortunately, the only caller of that method was android system logging,
and only since a few commits ago.
-> Get rid of Logger::logToSystem and use normal downstream output system for android instead
-> Give the downstream output system more information: enrich the log function of ILogOutput
with information and add ICombinedLogOutput for easier use.
-> Make Logger::getLevelLabel() static and public so that it can be used by downstream log output.
-> Add g_ and m_ prefixes where required
* Add key settings to setting table and ignore them later
This way they are added to the auto-generated minetest.conf.example
* Add flags type
* Add input validation for int, float and flags
* Break in-game graphic settings into multiple sections
* Parse settingtpes.txt in mods and games
* Improve description for a lot of settings
* Fix typos and wording in settingtypes.txt
* Convert language setting to an enum
