The vanilla main menu is an awful pile of code that is extremely painful
to make additions to. So I've side-stepped the problem by writing an
entiely new menu system without all of vanilla's quirks. I've separated
the custom menu system from the menus I want to make, which allows for
easy additions and a clear separation of responsibilities.
Along with this rewrite comes a host menu, adding the missing
configuration options in-game.
Fixes#29
In preparation for other forms of communication, I have abstracted all
of the socket code (which needs direct connections) behind a struct
whose calls can be swapped out for other systems if desired.
Due to my compile & launch scripts, I was silently ignoring warnings
this whole time. I've fixed my process, and gone back to fixed all of
the warnings I could (even outside of my code).
