The old texture modifier is restored by passing `m_previous_texture_modifier`.
Either copy it manually or let the function parameter do that.

* Optimize statbar drawing
The texture name of the statbar is a string passed by value.
That slows down the client and creates litter in the heap
as the content of the string is allocated there. Convert the
offending parameter to a const reference to avoid the
performance hit.
* Optimize texture cache
There is an unnecessary temporary created when the texture
path is being generated. This slows down the cache each time
a new texture is encountered and it needs to be loaded into
the cache. Additionally, the heap litter created by this
unnecessary temporary is particularly troublesome here as
the following code then piles another string (the resulting
full path of the texture) on top of it, followed by the
texture itself, which both are quite long term objects as
they are subsequently inserted into the cache where they can
remain for quite a while (especially if the texture turns
out to be a common one like dirt, grass or stone).
Use std::string.append to get rid of the temporary which
solves both issues (speed and heap fragmentation).
* Optimize animations in client
Each time an animated node is updated, an unnecessary copy of
the texture name is created, littering the heap with lots of
fragments. This can be specifically troublesome when looking
at oceans or large lava lakes as both of these nodes are
usually animated (the lava animation is pretty visible).
Convert the parameter of GenericCAO::updateTextures to a
const reference to get rid of the unnecessary copy.
There is a comment stating "std::string copy is mandatory as
mod can be a class member and there is a swap on those class
members ... do NOT pass by reference", reinforcing the
belief that the unnecessary copy is in fact necessary.
However one of the first things the code of the method does
is to assign the parameter to its class member, creating
another copy. By rearranging the code a little bit this
"another copy" can then be used by the subsequent code,
getting rid of the need to pass the parameter by value and
thus saving that copying effort.
* Optimize chat console history handling
The GUIChatConsole::replaceAndAddToHistory was getting the
line to work on by value which turns out to be unnecessary.
Get rid of that unnecessary copy by converting the parameter
to a const reference.
* Optimize gui texture setting
The code used to set the texture for GUI components was
getting the name of the texture by value, creating
unnecessary performance bottleneck for mods/games with
heavily textured GUIs. Get rid of the bottleneck by passing
the texture name as a const reference.
* Optimize sound playing code in GUIEngine
The GUIEngine's code receives the specification of the sound
to be played by value, which turns out to be most likely a
mistake as the underlying sound manager interface receives
the same thing by reference. Convert the offending parameter
to a const reference to get rid of the rather bulky copying
effort and the associated performance hit.
* Silence CLANG TIDY warnings for unit tests
Change "std::string" to "const std::string &" to avoid an
unnecessary local value copy, silencing the CLANG TIDY
process.
* Optimize formspec handling
The "formspec prepend" parameter was passed to the formspec
handling code by value, creating unnecessary copy of
std::string and slowing down the game if mods add things like
textured backgrounds for the player inventory and/or other
forms. Get rid of that performance bottleneck by converting
the parameter to a const reference.
* Optimize hotbar image handling
The code that sets the background images for the hotbar is
getting the name of the image by value, creating an
unnecessary std::string copying effort. Fix that by
converting the relevant parameters to const references.
* Optimize inventory deserialization
The inventory manager deserialization code gets the
serialized version of the inventory by value, slowing the
server and the client down when there are inventory updates.
This can get particularly troublesome with pipeworks which
adds nodes that can mess around with inventories
automatically or with mods that have mobs with inventories
that actively use them.
* Optimize texture scaling cache
There is an io::path parameter passed by value in the
procedure used to add images converted from textures,
leading to slowdown when the image is not yet created and
the conversion is thus needed. The performance hit is
quite significant as io::path is similar to std::string
so convert the parameter to a const reference to get rid of
it.
* Optimize translation file loader
Use "std::string::append" when calculating the final index
for the translation table to avoid unnecessary temporary
strings. This speeds the translation file loader up
significantly as std::string uses heap allocation which
tends to be rather slow. Additionally, the heap is no
longer being littered by these unnecessary string
temporaries, increasing performance of code that gets
executed after the translation file loader finishes.
* Optimize server map saving
When the directory structure for the world data is created
during server map saving, an unnecessary value passing of
the directory name slows things down. Remove that overhead
by converting the offending parameter to a const reference.
* Improve readability of debug menu by using '|'
* Restore whitespace to separate yaw and cardinal direction

Makes the liquid waving shader per-nodedef like waving leaves/plants,
instead of being applied to all liquids.
Like the waving leaves/plants shaders, the liquid waving shader can
also be applied to meshes and nodeboxes.
Derived from a PR by t0ny2.
This sends the following header to a remote media server:
Referer: minetest://<server_name>:port
This was verified with CTF and the Minetest Public Remove Media
server. If the servername was a plain IPv6 address it will
contain `:` characters and will be encapsulated in `[]` to
be a valid URI.
* Drop the ID mapper, use a big u64 instead. This will permit to resync server ids properly with the manager code
* Modernize some code parts (std::unordered_map, auto)
* generate id on client part on U32_MAX + 1 ids, lower are for server ids
The reverted commit 968ce9af598024ec71e9ffb2d15c3997a13ad754
is suspected (through the use of bisection) of causing network slowdowns.
Revert for now as we are close to release.
Store the rotation in the node as a 4x4 transformation matrix internally (through IDummyTransformationSceneNode), which allows more manipulations without losing precision or having gimbal lock issues.
Network rotation is still transmitted as Eulers, though, not as matrix. But it will stay this way in 5.0.
* Fix a crash on Android with Align2Npot2
glGetString can be NULL. If stored in a string it triggers a SIGSEGV.
Instead do a basic strstr and verify the pointer
* Better Align2Npot2 check (+ performance)
The fallback code shouldn't be needed and is a remnant of the GET
method that old media servers use. Clients using it are likely
to just waste bandwidth and having to download the media again
through the normal transfer from server method. The most reliable
method is to get all missing textures therefore from the server
directly and not spam the remote media server with 404s.
Previously, when the CSM restriction 'LOAD_CLIENT_MODS' was used a
client was still able to add CSM code to 'builtin' to bypass that
restriction, because 'builtin' is not yet verified.
Until server-sent CSM and verifying of 'builtin' are complete, make
'LOAD_CLIENT_MODS' disable the loading of builtin.
Clarify code comments and messages to distinguish between client-side
modding and client-side scripting. 'Scripting' includes 'builtin',
'modding' does not.
Move star draw to before sun glow texture draw and before sun draw,
not currently essential but the logical order. Will be necessary if
a 'no far ground' option is added, to draw stars behind the sun.
At sunset:
Stars first appear slightly later, at the time the sun disappears over the horizon,
this fixes seeing dark stars in front of the sun horizon glow texture.
Stars reach full brightness slightly earlier at time 20000, not so excessively long
after sunset.
The above behaviour is also applied at sunrise, but of course, time-inverted.
In pitch fly mode, you fly to the exact direction you are pointing at, using the forward key. Other move directions are also pitched accordingly.
It allows smoother and more complex movements.
Can be enabled/disabled by L key by default (set keymap_pitchfly in minetest.conf)
Adding support for _NET_WM_PID as defined in Extended Window Manager Hints
Move verbose messaging to setupXorgTopLevelWindow method as Xorg messages should only occur when running in Xorg env.
Irrlicht returns the XDisplay as a void* and XWindow as an unsigned long so reinterpret those as the appropriate type. Also fixed a spaces for tab formating issue
Fix 3 warnings reported by GCC 8.1 of the following type
```src/client/gameui.cpp:191:43: warning: « void* memset(void*, int, size_t) » effacement d'un objet du type non trivial « struct GameUI::Flags »; use assignment or value-initialization instead [-Wclass-memaccess]
memset(&m_flags, 0, sizeof(GameUI::Flags));
```

The CSM HUD PR caused some strange behavior including aborts due to parts of it using some slightly hacky code, the event refactor changing how events are processed and a minor oversight.
* Make InputHandler own the key cache
* Add a helper function InputHandler::cancelPressed to avoid multiple similar calls in game.cpp
* Move RandomInputHandler::step definition into cpp file
Joystick input is a RealInputHandler only usage, make it intelligent and handle the joystick with keyboard direct.
This permits to remove many getters in game which should be owned by RealInputHandler
* Attempt to add registration confirmation
Using SRP auth mechanism, if server sent AUTH_MECHANISM_FIRST_SRP that means the player isn't exist.
Also tell player about the server and chosen username.
Local game has localhost as IP address of the server.
Add RenderingEngine::draw_menu_scene() to draw GUI and clouds background.
aborted -> connection_aborted
* Rewrite information message text
Client::promptConfirmRegister() -> Client::promptConfirmRegistration()
Other enhancements:
* Simplify setStatusText to showStatusText, as it shows the label too (preventing almost every setStatusText to call setStatusTextTime(0)
* Add unittests
Game class is too huge and has too specialization on various subjects, like UI, formspecs, client, renderer. Start to move UI related things to GameUI object and cleanup them
