emp_config() silently truncates WORLD_X to even. Drop that. We could
flag odd WORLD_X as error, but we don't validate the other
configuration values, so why this one? Instead document it needs to
be even. WORLD_Y, too.

Why upgrade? I'm not a lawyer, but here's my take on the differences
to version 2:
* Software patents: better protection against abuse of patents to
prevent users from exercising the rights under the GPL. I doubt
we'll get hit with a patent suit, but it's a good move just on
general principles.
* License compatibility: compatible with more free licenses, i.e. can
"steal" more free software for use in Empire. I don't expect to steal
much, but it's nice to have the option.
* Definition of "source code": modernization of some details for today's
networked world, to make it easier to distribute the software. Not
really relevant to us now, as we normally distribute full source code.
* Tivoization: this is about putting GPL-licensed software in hardware,
then make the hardware refuse to run modified software. "Neat" trick
to effectively deny its users their rights under the GPL. Abuse was
"pioneered" by TiVo (popular digital video recorders). GPLv3 forbids
it. Unlikely to become a problem for us.
* Internationalization: more careful wording, to harden the license
outside the US. The lawyers tell us it better be done that way.
* License violations: friendlier way to deal with license violations.
This has come out of past experience enforcing the GPL.
* Additional permissions: Probably not relevant to us.

Where ordinary selectors specify a value stored in some object,
virtual selectors specify a function to call to compute a value
associated with some object.
Use them to replace the special case xdump ver by new table
EF_VERSION.
Move configkeys[] to lib/common because nsc_init() needs it to
initialize empfile[EF_VERSION].cadef.
Windows code leaked memory (result of _fullpath()).
POSIX code passed a null buffer to getcwd(), which is not portable,
and failed to check for errors.
File names in econfig need to be interpreted relative to configdir.
This wasn't the case everywhere for keys data and info.
Fix this by changing variables gamedir and infodir to hold absolute
names. Change builtindir likewise, for consistency. Store the values
from econfig in gamedir_conf, infodir_conf and builtindir_conf.
Uses new fnameat() to derive absolute names from possibly relative
ones.
Move stuff to untangle the ugly cyclic dependencies between the
archives built for selected subdirectories of src/lib/:
* Move common/io.c to empthread/ because it requires empthread stuff
* Move parts of subs/nstr.c to common/nstreval.c to satisfy
common/ef_verify.o
* Move getstarg.c getstring.c onearg.c from gen/ to subs/ because they
require stuff from there
* Move bridgefall.c check.c damage.c empobj.c journal.c maps.c
sectdamage.c from common/ to subs/ because they require stuff from
there
* Move cnumb.c from subs/ to common/ to satisfy common/type.o
* Move log.c fsize.c from common/ to gen/ because they really belong
there
* Move emp_config.c mapdist.c from gen/ to common/ because they really
belong there, and require stuff from libglobal.a
Also package as/ as libas.a to satisfy common/path.o.
