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.

* Rename everything.
* Strip J prefix.
* Change UpperCamelCase functions to lowerCamelCase.
* Remove global (!) semaphore count mutex on OSX.
* Remove semaphore count getter (unused, unsafe, depended on internal
API functions on Windows, and used a hack on OSX).
* Add `Atomic<type>`.
* Make `Thread` handle thread names.
* Add support for C++11 multi-threading.
* Combine pthread and win32 sources.
* Remove `ThreadStarted` (unused, unneeded).
* Move some includes from the headers to the sources.
* Move all of `Event` into its header (allows inlining with no new includes).
* Make `Event` use `Semaphore` (except on Windows).
* Move some porting functions into `Thread`.
* Integrate logging with `Thread`.
* Add threading test.
Before, this lua code led to a crash:
local pcg = PcgRandom(42)
local value = pcg:next()
This was because if you called s32 PcgRandom::range(min, max) with the
minimum and maximum possible values for s32 integers (which the lua
binding code did), u32 PcgRandom::range(bound) got called with 0 as the
bound. The bound however is one above the maximum value, so 0 is a "special"
value to pass to this function. This commit fixes the lua crash by
assigning the RNG's full range to the bound 0, which is also fits to the
"maximum is bound - 1" principle, as (u32)-1 is the maximum value in the
u32 range.
Multiplying by a factor of 1/1000.f (rather than dividing by 1000.f) directly
introduces an error of 1 ULP. With this patch, an exact comparison of a
floating point literal with the deserialized F1000 form representing it is now
guaranteed to be successful.
In addition, the maxmium and minimum safely representible floating point
numbers are now well-defined as constants.
Use wide_to_utf8 and utf8_to_wide instead of wide_to_narrow and narrow_to_wide at almost all places.
Only exceptions: test functions for narrow conversion, and chat, which is done in a separate commit.
- Add ability to explicitly reset NodeResolve state (useful for unittesting)
- Remove non-essential NodeResolve methods modifying state from INodeDefManager
- Add const qualifier to NodeDefManager and ContentFeatures serialize
