This method doesn't require port-forwarding to be used, and works for
most common NAT routers in home setups. But, for sure it doesn't work
for all setups, and not everyone will be able to use this.

Now you can use things like `set server_game_type public` instead of having to
guess the number, which would not be written into the configuration file nor
would it be shown when doing `set server_game_type`.
Every outgoing connection, either TCP or UDP, triggered
NetworkInitialize(), which triggered NetworkUDPInitialize() which
first closes all connections.
Now the problem was that "Search LAN games" found a server, added
it to the list, after which (over TCP) it queries the server. This
closes all UDP sockets (as that makes sense, I guess?), while the
UDP was still reading from it.
Solve this by simply stop initializing UDP every time we make an
outgoing TCP connection; instead only do it on start-up.
In this mode you do register to the Game Coordinator, but your
server will not show up in the public server listing. You can give
your friends the invite code of the server with which they can
join.
This removes the need to know a server IP to join it. Invite codes
are small (~7 characters) indentifiers for servers, which can be
exchanged with other players to join the servers.
Normally TCPConnecter will do a DNS resolving of the connection_string
and connect to it. But for SERVER_ADDRESS_INVITE_CODE this is different:
the Game Coordinator does the "resolving".
This means we need to allow TCPConnecter to not setup a connection
and allow it to be told when a connection has been setup by an external
(to TCPConnecter) part of the code. We do this by telling the (active)
socket for the connection.
This means the rest of the code doesn't need to know the TCPConnecter
is not doing a simple resolve+connect. The rest of the code only
cares the connection is established; not how it was established.
This statement was removed by accident, as it felt it could be removed.
But it is used to know if the NewGRF is from the baseset folder or
from the NewGRF folder.

The C++ std::getenv is guaranteed thread-safe by the C++11 specification,
whereas the POSIX/C getenv might not be thread-safe by the C11 specification.
The outer if statement checks for 'aa' being false, so within the inner
statements anything checking aa will have a known result and the other
branch from there will be dead code.
