The value of diffx() had the wrong sign when the arguments differed by
WORLD_X / 2. Same for diffy() and WORLD_Y / 2. satmap() used them to
find the vector from map center to ship or land unit to put on the
map, and got incorrect values for ships and land units directly
opposite to the center in x or y. The bug made satmap() read a
pointer out bounds of its malloced radbuf[], and then write through
that with unpredictable consequences.
Broken in 4.2.12. The original bug was in Empire 1.1: it
miscalculated where to put ships on the map (no crash). An incomplete
fix for radmap() and satmap() appeared in Chainsaw 2 (still no crash).
radmap() got fixed correctly in Chainsaw 3, but satmap() was
forgotten. That one got "fixed" in 4.2.7, and again in 4.2.12, but
both "fixes" were flawed and could crash.
Fix by backing out the flawed fixes and adopting the fix from radmap()
instead.
(cherry picked from commit 0cc474bd6d)
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.

anyway.
