Various of PatchPacks (Spring 2013, Joker, ChillPP) used versions
slightly higher than ours. Of course, as time went by, this
caught up with us, and we are now almost pushing a new version
that would conflict with them. To avoid users creating unneeded
issues about "why can I not load my savegame", lets be ahead of
the curve and flat-out refuse to load them.
Version-wise, this is totally fine. We have ~32k versions to go
before we run out (0x8000 is masked by JGRPP; we should avoid
using that). At the rate we bump savegames, this is not going to
happen in any sane reality.

On Windows, relative folders don't work so well. So we need to
lookup the full path. This is best done in DetermineBasePaths()
and as a bonus that only sets SP_WORKING_DIR once.
Also, while at it, make it more like the upcoming release-workflow,
so they look a lot more similar.
Functional it should be the same, except that Windows should
now also output when a test fails.
Basically, with '-c' you now create a sandbox. It will still use
your personal-dir and global-dir to find files you installed there,
but all new files are stored with a base folder identical to the
folder the configuration is in.
This is a bit of an old bug, that we many have tried to solve in
various of different ways. The code has grown sufficiently complex
that it is hard to see what consequences of actions are. This is
in my opinion the most harmless solution, while increasing the
usefulness of the '-c' flag.
In essence, the problem was that empty folders were always created
in the directory where the configuration was, but as that directory
wasn't added to any searchpath, files weren't stored there, unless
by accident it was a folder already on the searchpath. For example,
if you do './openttd -c local.cfg', it did work as expected. But
in the more generic variant, it did not.
With this patch, you can run './openttd -c /new/folder/local.cfg',
and it will create and prepare that folder to receive new files.
'content_download' is also stored in the directory the
configuration is in; this was already the case. Important to
note that there is only one search-path for 'content_download'.
In other words, when using '-c', it will not look in '~/.openttd'
inside the 'content_download' folder.
This was just weird. With XDG _personal_dir was created already,
but later on it was checked if it was different from config_dir,
and the creation was skipped. All this checking and validation
makes my head spin .. let's make it a bit more simple.
Formally it was only done on exit. This means that if it crashes
changes in settings were not stored. This is often rather
frustrating. Additionally, targets (like emscripten) where people
are unlike to use "Exit Game", will never see their configuration
stored.
The drawback is that on every setting change there is some minor
I/O of writing the ini file to disk again.
If I explicitly tell the system I do not want sound, I still get
presented a nice message I do not have any BaseSounds available
on my system, and that I should download one to enjoy sound. Well,
let me tell you, with "-snull" that is really really not going to
help. So please, be quiet, and let me enjoy the game without
"boooooo" and "DING DING DING".
Thank you.
