eb2bda7d0b Optimize string (mis)handling (#8128)
* Optimize statbar drawing

The texture name of the statbar is a string passed by value.
That slows down the client and creates litter in the heap
as the content of the string is allocated there. Convert the
offending parameter to a const reference to avoid the
performance hit.

* Optimize texture cache

There is an unnecessary temporary created when the texture
path is being generated. This slows down the cache each time
a new texture is encountered and it needs to be loaded into
the cache. Additionally, the heap litter created by this
unnecessary temporary is particularly troublesome here as
the following code then piles another string (the resulting
full path of the texture) on top of it, followed by the
texture itself, which both are quite long term objects as
they are subsequently inserted into the cache where they can
remain for quite a while (especially if the texture turns
out to be a common one like dirt, grass or stone).

Use std::string.append to get rid of the temporary which
solves both issues (speed and heap fragmentation).

* Optimize animations in client

Each time an animated node is updated, an unnecessary copy of
the texture name is created, littering the heap with lots of
fragments. This can be specifically troublesome when looking
at oceans or large lava lakes as both of these nodes are
usually animated (the lava animation is pretty visible).
Convert the parameter of GenericCAO::updateTextures to a
const reference to get rid of the unnecessary copy.

There is a comment stating "std::string copy is mandatory as
mod can be a class member and there is a swap on those class
members ... do NOT pass by reference", reinforcing the
belief that the unnecessary copy is in fact necessary.
However one of the first things the code of the method does
is to assign the parameter to its class member, creating
another copy. By rearranging the code a little bit this
"another copy" can then be used by the subsequent code,
getting rid of the need to pass the parameter by value and
thus saving that copying effort.

* Optimize chat console history handling

The GUIChatConsole::replaceAndAddToHistory was getting the
line to work on by value which turns out to be unnecessary.
Get rid of that unnecessary copy by converting the parameter
to a const reference.

* Optimize gui texture setting

The code used to set the texture for GUI components was
getting the name of the texture by value, creating
unnecessary performance bottleneck for mods/games with
heavily textured GUIs. Get rid of the bottleneck by passing
the texture name as a const reference.

* Optimize sound playing code in GUIEngine

The GUIEngine's code receives the specification of the sound
to be played by value, which turns out to be most likely a
mistake as the underlying sound manager interface receives
the same thing by reference. Convert the offending parameter
to a const reference to get rid of the rather bulky copying
effort and the associated performance hit.

* Silence CLANG TIDY warnings for unit tests

Change "std::string" to "const std::string &" to avoid an
unnecessary local value copy, silencing the CLANG TIDY
process.

* Optimize formspec handling

The "formspec prepend" parameter was passed to the formspec
handling code by value, creating unnecessary copy of
std::string and slowing down the game if mods add things like
textured backgrounds for the player inventory and/or other
forms. Get rid of that performance bottleneck by converting
the parameter to a const reference.

* Optimize hotbar image handling

The code that sets the background images for the hotbar is
getting the name of the image by value, creating an
unnecessary std::string copying effort. Fix that by
converting the relevant parameters to const references.

* Optimize inventory deserialization

The inventory manager deserialization code gets the
serialized version of the inventory by value, slowing the
server and the client down when there are inventory updates.
This can get particularly troublesome with pipeworks which
adds nodes that can mess around with inventories
automatically or with mods that have mobs with inventories
that actively use them.

* Optimize texture scaling cache

There is an io::path parameter passed by value in the
procedure used to add images converted from textures,
leading to slowdown when the image is not yet created and
the conversion is thus needed. The performance hit is
quite significant as io::path is similar to std::string
so convert the parameter to a const reference to get rid of
it.

* Optimize translation file loader

Use "std::string::append" when calculating the final index
for the translation table to avoid unnecessary temporary
strings. This speeds the translation file loader up
significantly as std::string uses heap allocation which
tends to be rather slow. Additionally, the heap is no
longer being littered by these unnecessary string
temporaries, increasing performance of code that gets
executed after the translation file loader finishes.

* Optimize server map saving

When the directory structure for the world data is created
during server map saving, an unnecessary value passing of
the directory name slows things down. Remove that overhead
by converting the offending parameter to a const reference.

cca58fe0fd Add on_flood() callback.
This callback is called if a liquid definitely floods a non-air
node on the map. The callback arguments are (pos, oldnode, newnode)
and can return a `bool` value indicating whether flooding the
node should be cancelled (`return true` will prevent the node
from flooding).

Documentation is added, the callback function was tested with a
modified minetest_game.

Note that `return true` will likely cause the node's `on_flood()`
callback to be called every second until the node gets removed,
so care must be taken to prevent many callbacks from using this
return value. The current default liquid update interval is 1.0
seconds, which isn't unmanageable.

The larger aim of this patch is to remove the lava cooling ABM,
which is a significant cost to idle servers that have lava on their
map. This callback will be much more efficient.

57e5aa6628 Light update for map blocks
This is not really different from the light update of a voxel
manipulator. This update does not assume that the lighting was correct
before, therefore it is useful for correction.

Also expose this function to the Lua API for light correction, and
allow voxel manipulators not to update the light.

ab371cc934 Light calculation: New bulk node lighting code
This commit introduces a new bulk node lighting algorithm to minimize
lighting bugs during l-system tree generation, schematic placement and
non-mapgen-object lua voxelmanip light calculation.

If the block above the changed area is not loaded, it gets loaded to avoid
lighting bugs.
Light is updated as soon as write_to_map is called on a voxel manipulator,
therefore update_map does nothing.

3f8261830e Improve getPointedThing() (#4346)
* Improved getPointedThing()

The new algorithm checks every node exactly once.
Now the point and normal vector of the collision is also returned in the
PointedThing (currently they are not used outside of the function).
Now the CNodeDefManager keeps the union of all possible nodeboxes, so
the raycast won't miss any nodes. Also if there are only small
nodeboxes, getPointedThing() is exceptionally fast.
Also adds unit test for VoxelLineIterator.

* Cleanup, code move

This commit moves getPointedThing() and
Client::getSelectedActiveObject() to ClientEnvironment.
The map nodes now can decide which neighbors they are connecting to
(MapNode::getNeighbors()).

c071efaa43 Improved lighting
This commit rewrites the procedure that is responsible for light
updating.

this commit
-provides iterative solutions for unlighting and light spreading
-introduces a new priority queue-like container for the iteration
-creates per-node MapBlock caching to reduce retrieving MapBlocks from
the map
-calculates with map block positions and in-block relative node
coordinates
-skips light updating if it is not necessary since the node's new light
will be the same as its old light was

3c63c3044d Add MapSettingsManager and new mapgen setting script API functions
This commit refactors the majority of the Mapgen settings system.
- MapgenParams is now owned by MapSettingsManager, itself a part of ServerMap,
  instead of the EmergeManager.
- New Script API functions added:
    core.get_mapgen_setting
    core.get_mapgen_setting_noiseparams,
    core.set_mapgen_setting, and
    core.set_mapgen_setting_noiseparams.
- minetest.get/set_mapgen_params are deprecated by the above new functions.
- It is now possible to view and modify any arbitrary mapgen setting from a mod,
  rather than the base MapgenParams structure.
- MapgenSpecificParams has been removed.

c56d7fe0eb Add DISABLE_CLASS_COPY macro (and use it)
Use this macro to disallow copying of an object using the assignment
operator or copy constructor.  This catches otherwise silent-but-deadly
mistakes such as "ServerMap map = env->getMap();" at compile time.

If so desired, it is still possible to copy a class, but it now requires
an explicit call to memcpy or std::copy.
