Restore the old persistidents system from AC 1.0, since it's working as
intended - if used properly.
As a reminder:
* aliases created by "const" and "tempalias" are never persistent
* aliases created or altered by "alias" or "=" become persistent, if
the persistidents flag is set during that operation
* persistidents if false during the execution of almost all config files
during game start - those files can create aliases with default values
which will not be persistent (until changed later while the flag is
set)
* before saved.cfg is executed, the flag is set and stays set all
throughout the game - which means, that all changes (from menus, for
example) will change the altered alias to "persistent"
* exceptions for map or model config files are unnecessary, since those
run restricted and can't create aliases anyway
* exceptions are necessary for "late run" config files like those in
config/opt/
The new command "persistidents" may be used to manually set or clear the
flag. It also returns the current state of the flag. If used in a config
file, the flag is restored to its original value when the file ends
execution.
In short: only late-run config files (meaning: run after saved.cfg was
restored) may need to manually set/reset the flag. Use const and tempalias
where appropriate and clear persistidents before creating an alias with a
not-to-save default value that may be changed and made persistent later.
DOCREF persistidents
Alternative views in the serverbrowser are implemented with use favourites.
Categories (names) of favourite servers, which will be displayed on the
views, have to be included in "serverbrowseraltviews" alias (accessible
in menu).
Switching between views is possible with use Alt + Mouse wheel and
Alt + Up/Down (or eventually "[" and "]", if they are dedicated keys
on your keyboard).
The commit also:
1. adds MATCH category to favourites;
2. shows category name in settings of favourites;
3. shows weights in serverbrowser instead of favourites image,
when showweights = 1;
4. cleans up some tabs.
The commit:
1. does serverdescription keyword case insensitive for
showonlyfavourites > 0;
2. fixes typo in argument of alias in keyword;
3. fixes disabling background color for servers of the category, when
alpha is changed to 0;
4. shows 0 instead of 10 in info about digit, which toggles 10th category;
5. adds info about "image" attribute in favourites.cfg;
6. adds new feature: "Search for servers".
