TLDR on important changes in engine code:
* UI: work with server separated from UI
* UI: all explitic blitting replaced with IntObject's
* UI: all new code use smart pointers instead of DISPOSE
* Gameplay always start through lobby controlled by server.
* Threads receiving netpacks now shared for lobby and gameplay.
* Campaigns: heroes for crossover now serialized as JsonNode.
* Fixing bugs for external dwelling bonus of Golem Factory.
[Problem]
The occupied Golem Factory on adventure map doesn't give
the player corresponding weekly growth bonus.
[Solution]
1. Add the dwelling (of multiple generators) to a player's dewelling set.
2. Created helper function to calculate external dwelling bonus
points.
[Test]
Manual testing on the map, works fine.
