More work on better colors based on Apple II hardware logic and NTSC's SMPTE-170M standard; other minor fixes

Use colors based on what the Apple II hardware actually does

Lambdas get explicit return type (as we're not using "auto" anywhere else either); software scaling everywhere, hardware doesn't really work in SDL1.2; use much smaller ogg instead of wav for sound and music; new readme; other cleanup work

Another round of cppcheck suggestions (newer cppcheck version): more const, static, and STL algorithm goodness. Also fixed more instances of that pesky misspelling "wilkommen" to "willkommen"
-
Allow compilation on Windows (MSYS2) again; Add PDF format map

Use algorithms from original for hit probabilities; fix sound race conditions; fix target of ejection from codex chamber during last four questions; fix SDL timer leak; creatures can steal without hitting; fix orb damage in Hythloth; other minor bug fixes
-
Use static functions in many places to enable better optimization; faster random numbers; no more rat encounters at inns (they're not in U4DOS or u4apple2); calculate last movement direction from prev coords, like the original, instead of storing it directly; many minor fixes
-
Add the changes from the missing last few xu4-svn commits that were done after my fork was initially created in 2012 but before the new boron based xu4-git began in 2021; better monster spawning; use "atomic" wherever needed and completely stop using "volatile"; many other small and medium changes, mostly to bring game algorithms in line with U4DOS and/or u4apple2

Yet another round of doc reformatting
-
Use full-resolution 600dpi images throughout documentation

Reformatting of the documentation
