Hardcoded VAda Flickies
Many thanks to MI for his help, even if he has sinful opinions on what the collection of creatures should be called. ;P
* Flickies are now handled via A_FlickySpawn instead of hardcoded in P_KillMobj, so there can be mobjtypes with MF_ENEMY which don't create flickies, or other mechanisms which can much easier.
* Added map header "FlickyList" (aka "AnimalList") parameter, which can either be set to:
* A species (eg: "Rabbit" or "Bluebird", amongst 17 currently supported types in dehacked.c table FLICKYTYPES - including the seed from Sonic CD, which isn't limited to 'soniccd on' in the console now)
* Any valid mobjtype that isn't MT_NULL (eg: "MT_FLICKY_GHOST")
* A comma-seperated list of either of the above, up to 64 entries long (eg: "Cow,MT_FLICKY_SPIDER,Chicken")
* "All" - sets behind-the-scenes stuff to use every 'normal' type of flicky in FLICKYTYPES (a distinction which can be utilised to hide secret level flickies where they wouldn't be appropriate for the main game)
* "Demo" - sets behind-the-scenes stuff to use the five flickies closest to the species used in the game's long history.
* "None" - prevents any flickies from spawning.
"Demo" is functionally the default value if you don't include a FlickyList parameter in the header at all.
Of note, a bunch of functions are now created:
* A_FlickySpawn - spawns flicky.
* A_FlickyAim - aims for area near target, but not directly on them - turns around when hitting wall
* A_FlickyFly - flies/swims around target (calls A_FlickyAim)
* A_FlickySoar - hacky alternate fly (calls A_FlickyAim)
* A_FlickyCoast - slowing down before going off again
* A_FlickyHop - fracunit-scale precision for A_BunnyHop
* A_FlickyFlounder - A_FlickyHop with randomisation
* A_FlickyCheck - State-setter for falling, or being on-ground
* A_FlickyHeightCheck - State-setter for falling, or being below a certain height relative to target
* A_FlickyFlutter - A_FlickyCheck, but with a slow fall/movement (calls A_FlickyCheck and A_FlickyAim)
I don't need to enumerate the object types and states that have been added, do I?
Oh yeah, I also made it so get_mobjtype's failure value was MT_NULL and prohibited SOC from editing the properties of it to compensate.
IN ADDITION: Killed "soniccd" console command, since it made things more complicated and honestly being able to specify Sonic CD seeds in the level header is a better option.

* MT_EXPLODE's anims partially FF_ANIMATE'd.
* A_FlickySpawn turned into a wrapper for internal function that does what A_FlickySpawn did but returns a pointer to the spawned flicky.
* Added the ability to read in mobjtypes as well as from a short list of flicky constants.
* Added a new state, S_XPLD_FLICKY, which is the new deathstate of all badniks.
* Put the disabled animal-spawn-on-P_KillMobj behind a #define.
* Renamed the branch and associated properties to something not rife with sin.
No idea if this compiles yet (let alone if what is there works at all), just getting this out the way so I can work on certain other things *cough plane displacement cough*
To that end, I've made MF_MONITOR *without* MF_SHOOTABLE act like MF_MONITOR does, and MF_SHOOTABLE allow for both missiles AND players to destroy. This has had the side effect of allowing MF_ENEMY and MF_BOSS to use MF_MONITOR as a substitute for MF_SHOOTABLE that doesn't allow missiles to cause them damage, which might be useful for Jetty-syns.
Hardcoded music name switches
Like I said earlier, it's better if all the hardcoded music switches in 2.2 start with an underscore so that it's harder to accidentally overwrite them.
Should be accepted when music.dta is updated.

* Bubblewrap shield bounce now no longer allows thokking post-bounce, but still allows bouncing
* plus a bunch of tiny changes to clean up code around the place.
* Some shield sounds swapped (can be reverted later).
* Partial implementation of S3K shield abilities.
* The ability to elemental-groundpound onto gold monitors without going straight through them.
* Force shield ability removed because nobody could agree on it, we'll keep it blank until another idea can get through the disagreement juggernaut.
* shields give you 1000 points
* redundant shields don't make you puase
* checkpoints give you 2000 points
* falling down a deathpit is just falling, not bouncing
* MF_AMBUSH is now MF2_AMBUSH, because it's something you turn on in a map editor, not with a SOC definition.
* Where MF_AMBUSH was is now MF_PAPER.
* MF_PAPER accesses all the stuff I did previously in this branch...
* ...as well as turn on paper-thin collision detection between mobjs, which I've gotten working but isn't perfect but it's still good enough for non-solid objects!!
* That hacky anti-NiGHTS-deaxisment code I commented out because I thought it was visual only? Reimplemented in a way that is both more and less hacky. It's identical in result to the original code, but takes a roundabout method to get there.
* Sprite references for SUPE, SUPZ and NDRL are removed because they are now unused.
* Helper's flashing conditional is restructured to do less flag swapping.
* The check for super setting FF_FULLBRIGHT is limited to MAXTRANSLATIONS now, and also correctly takes into account MAXSKINCOLORS == SKINCOLOR_SUPERSILVER1.
* NiGHTS collision bounds aren't hardcoded anymore.
* NiGHTS link will never display when leaving stage.
* Slightly tweaked rules for the supercolor setting when doing a NiGHTS transformation, but only meaningful for setting FF_FULLBRIGHT.
* if you can turn SF_SUPER, flash your skin's supercolor, otherwise be your normal color
* if your skin doesn't have a SPR2_NGT0 (horizontal fly), use Sonic's (this will hopefully be replaced by 2.2 with sprites of NiGHTS themselves)
* MT_NIGHTSCHAR made irrelevant, everything follows actor->target instead of actor->target->tracer now
* emerald is now player->mo->tracer instead of player->mo->tracer->target
* nightopian helpers flash for the 35 tics before they disappear
* nights capsule makes boss explosions/noises now (i can change it back i just like it better)
* drill off into the sky instead of fly up in floating pose (but no noise yet)
ALSO:
* default maxdash is now 70
* forgot to add supercolor to lua, it is there now
* SPR2_SMSL renamed to SPR2_SSTN (stun)
* any player with a skincolor that's in the super range is set to FF_FULLBRIGHT at state-set time, so no need to keep super players non-fullbright just because they use spin stuff
