Drawing nows happens directly when the Dialog or Widget draw methods are
called. This makes it easy to debug why a particular low level draw
method was called, by inspecting the call stack.
This replaces the notion of "buffering" by two independant ways to
control what is drawn and where:
- The active layer is used to select whether the foreground or
background part of the dialogs are rendered by the draw calls.
- The active surface is used to select if the draw calls affect the back
buffer or the screen.
The foreground layer of the active dialog is drawn directly to the
screen. Its background layer is drawn to the back buffer. This way
widgets can restore the back buffer in order to update without having to
redraw the dialog's background.
Dialogs lower in the dialog stack are drawn entirely to the back buffer.
Previously, a C-style cast was used to convert a
Common::Array<Plugin *>, populated with pointers to StaticPlugin
and DynamicPlugin instances, to a
Common::Array<PluginSubclass<T> *>, but PluginSubclass<T> is a
*sibling* class to StaticPlugin/DynamicPlugin, so this cast was
invalid and the results undefined. The methods for retrieving
subclasses of plugins can't be easily changed to just generate an
array of temporary wrapper objects that expose an identical API
which dereferences to the preferred PluginObject subclass because
pointers to these objects are retained by other parts of ScummVM,
so the wrappers would needed to be persisted or they would need to
just re-expose the underlying Plugin object again. This indicated
that a way to solve this problem is to have the callers receive
Plugin objects and get the PluginObject from the Plugin by
explicitly stating their desired type, in a similar manner to
std::get(std::variant), so that the pattern used by this patch to
solve the problem.
Closes gh-1051.
The credits.pl script now prints both the ASCII and ISO-8859-1 strings
in the credits.dat file when they are different. The About dialog then
chooses either one or the other depending on the current charset
used. This fixes bug #3539986
This is a first step towards getting rid of all uses of regular printf,
fprintf, vprintf, vfprintf, puts, fputs, etc. in our codebase.
The name format() reflects the purpose of the function, and parallels
String.format() in Java, boost::format, and others.

Based on patch #2903830: "Updated Translation Prototype" by alexbevi
which in turn is based on patch #1739965 by jvprat.
Currently it builds all translations right into ScummVM. Once the
feature will be accepted more widely, i.e. more translations will
pop up, it will be trivial to move translation strings to external
file.
Finished translation: Russian
Unfinished translation: Hungarian
Things which are nice to do:
- Language code -> language mapping for more user friendness
- Specifying fonts to be used with language
- Updating of interface language without restart. It will require
moving of much code to reflowLayout() methods for each dialog
The .po files must be in single byte encodings. I.e. no support
for Unicode.

This removes the dependency on array.h from str.h.
Also, begun migration from the confusing type name "StringList" to
the more appropriate StringArray.
