How qsort() sorts members that compare equal is unspecified. Can
upset the smoke test. Observed under FreeBSD 8.3.
Break ties in power by comparing country numbers. Countries equal in
power are now sorted by increasing country number.
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.

Unlike POSIX sockets, Windows sockets are not file descriptors, but
"OS handles", with a completely separate set of functions.
However, Windows can create a file descriptor for a socket, and return
a file descriptor's underlying handle. Use that instead of wrapping
our own file descriptors around Windows file descriptors and sockets.
Remove the wrapping machinery: MAX_FDS, enum fdmap_io_type, struct
fdmap, fdmap[], nfd, get_fd(), free_fd(), set_fd(), lookup_handle(),
lookup_fd().
Rewrite SOCKET_FUNCTION(), posix_accept(), posix_socket(),
posix_close(), ftruncate(), posix_open(), posix_read(), posix_write(),
fcntl().
Remove FILE_FUNCTION(), posix_fstat(), posix_lseek(),
SHARED_FUNCTION(), and fileno(), because the system's functions now
work fine.
posix_fsync() is used only #ifdef _WIN32, remove it, and call
_commit() directly.
The old code stuffed WSA error codes into errno, which doesn't work.
Use new w32_set_winsock_errno() to retrieve, convert & stuff into
errno. Adapt inet_ntop() to set the WSA error code instead of errno,
so it can use w32_set_winsock_errno().
Move EWOULDBLOCK from sys/socket.h to w32misc.h, and drop unused
ENOTSOCK, EAFNOSUPPORT.
Use SOCKET rather than int in Windows-specific code.
The old code used getstarg() to get an argument with a different
prompt than snxtitem() uses, then passed the value to snxtitem()
unchecked. If the player aborts, getstarg() returns a null pointer,
and snxtitem() prompts again. Affected:
* load/lload plane/land third argument; load_plane_ship(),
load_land_ship(), load_plane_land(), load_land_land()
* bomb, drop, fly, paradrop, recon and sweep second argument;
get_planes()
* tend and ltend second and fourth argument; ltend(), tend(),
tend_land()
* mission second argument; mission()
Fix by making snxtitem() taking a prompt argument, null pointer
requests the old prompt.
Use that to simplify multifire() and torp(). Change the other callers
to pass NULL.
The old code didn't honor command abortion at the following prompts:
* arm third argument
* deliver fourth argument (also simplify)
* fire third argument
* fly and recon prompt for carrier to land on: pln_onewaymission()
treated abort like empty input, which made planes attempt landing in
the sector.
* lmine second argument
* order d fourth argument
* power c nat(s) argument
* range second argument
* sail second argument
* shutdown both arguments (first one was broken in commit 84cfd670,
v4.3.10, second one never worked).
* tend third argument
(opt_AUTO_POWER, update_power): New.
(update_main): Implement AUTO_POWER.
(powe): Disable power new when AUTO_POWER is on.
(powe): New power update.
(gen_power): Compute power into buffer passed by caller, make write to
power file optional.

other. Ensure headers in include/ can be included in any order
(except for econfig-spec.h, which is special). New header types.h to
help avoid inclusion cycles. Sort include directives. Remove some
superflous includes.
snxtitem()/nxtitem(), for simplicity and more uniform syntax. Country
names no longer work when specifying more than one country (snxtitem()
restriction). As usual with nxtitem(), silently ignore unsuitable
items (the old code complained and failed). Don't skip powerless
countries for power c. Closes#1025607.
(set_target): Unused, remove.
