Add font rendering and UTF-8 support

[muggenhor]

This patch adds font rendering and UTF-8 support. It is kind of old though. It applies to r2375.

[muggenhor]

A newer version of the patch that applies to r2471

[muggenhor]

This last patch (attachment:wz-fonttest-c.patch​) doesn't use UTF-8 in Warzone's codebase. It is also a lot more recent (applies to r2481).

[muggenhor]

This version of the patch doesn't add UTF-8 handling to WZ's codebase. Instead it defers this to (Queso)GLC. This patch applies to r2490.

[muggenhor]

This version of the patch completely swaps the previous interface of source:trunk/lib/ivis_common/textdraw.h with a new interface. This applies to r2520.

[muggenhor]

This patch adds QuesoGLC to all buildsystems except for the XCode project and the "wscript" file.

(In [2521]) * Add font rendering and UTF-8 support through usage of QuesoGLC (an OpenGLC implementation);

• This _will_ require you to install ​http://quesoglc.sourceforge.net/ on your system to be able to compile (windows binaries are provided on the sourceforge download page as well; just dump them in wz's devpackage directory for now)
• Currently the font render code is hard-coded to select two fonts: DejaVu Sans Mono regular style (aka "Book") or bold style; if you're package manager doesn't provide these fonts (Debian and derivatives have "ttf-dejavu"), you can get them from ​http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/

This closes #1 (​https://trac.mortis.eu/warzone/ticket/1 I dumped/maintained my patch there)

The GLC requirement and causes warzone to be unacceptably slow (intel graphics card), even in the startup menus. Is there any chance of allowing it to choose the text renderer (disable GLC) from a command-line option?
