[Ohrrpgce] Fufluns released! ...

[Ralph Versteegen]

The spriteset editor is unusably slow in large games; I need to get rid of
the defpal#.bin lumps. (WIP)

.pt# and .mxs lumps need to be deleted.

Cursor keys in the spriteset editor are still very wonky. I rewrote the
cursor key handling, I just need to clean up the code and commit it.

Also, the Windows 10 bug which breaks gfx_directx fullscreening ought to be
addressed, I think at least 4 people have complained about that problem.
The easiest way to solve it would be to switch to gfx_sdl as the default
for game.exe, but switching backends always causes unexpected problems (and
gfx_sdl fullscreening is really bad anyway), so I'd rather try to figure
out how to fix the problem properly.
(And anyway, Pepsi reported another new problem with gfx_sdl fullscreening
on Windows: https://www.slimesalad.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=132358#132358)

There was a bug which resulted in broken textbox links; I fixed that bug
but for some reason didn't merge in the upgrade code to scan a game for
broken textbox links and show a message.

Although I merged in my branch which reenabled MP3 previewing, when I
tested it later it didn't actually work for some reason. Should either fix
it or delete that from whatsnew.

I still need to fix the rest of the bug where copy-pasting text is broken
on Windows (it appends \r characters to each line).

Audio doesn't work at all on Windows when the codepage (for non-unicode
applications) is set to Japanese, because in that codepage the \ character
has a different code point. Not really a blocker, but serious
