During fast-forward, the game was drawing as fast as it could. This
means that the fast-forward was limited also by how fast we could
draw, something that people in general don't expect.
To give an extreme case, if you are fully zoomed out on a busy
map, fast-forward would be mostly limited because of the time it
takes to draw the screen.
By decoupling the draw-tick and game-tick, we can keep the pace
of the draw-tick the same while speeding up the game-tick. To use
the extreme case as example again, if you are fully zoomed out
now, the screen only redraws 33.33 times per second, fast-forwarding
or not. This means fast-forward is much more likely to go at the
same speed, no matter what you are looking at.
_realtime_tick was reset every time the diff was calculated. This
means if it would trigger, say, every N.9 milliseconds, it would
after two iterations already drift a millisecond. This adds up
pretty quick.
On all OSes we tested the std::chrono::steady_clock is of a high
enough resolution to do millisecond measurements, which is all we
need.
By accident, this fixes a Win32 driver bug, where we would never
hit our targets, as the resolution of the clock was too low to
do accurate millisecond measurements with (it was ~16ms resolution
instead).
It now follows more what the Win32 driver does, and has far less
exceptions and special casing.
MakePalette creates the Palette and prepares surface.
UpdatePalette updates the Palette.
CheckPaletteAnim checks if UpdatePalette needs to be called and
marks the whole screen dirty so DrawSurfaceToScreen will do a
full redraw.
Emscripten compiles to WASM, which can be loaded via
HTML / JavaScript. This allows you to play OpenTTD inside a
browser.

This commit prepares for the next commit, as Emscripten needs to
have a way to trigger a single iteration of the main loop. To
keep the real changes more clear, this commit only unrolls the
loop, and makes no changes to the logic itself.
