- IdentifierStorage is now a separate handler in VLC
- Renamed ModHandler::Incompatibility exception to ModIncompatibility
- Extracted ModScope namespace from ModHandler
- Extracted ModUtilities namespace from ModHandler
- Split CModHandler.cpp on per-class basis
- Replaced some direct members with unique_ptr to reduce header includes

* Nullkiller AI can get it too.
* Use boost::multi_array instead of nested vectors
* In MapHandler too
* Rotate foreach algorithms, too
* VCAI gets rotated, too

* Started Lua script module
* Started Lua spell effect API
* Started script state persistence
* Started battle info callback binding
* CommitPackage removed
* Extracted spells::Caster to own header; Expanded Spell API.
* implemented !!MC:S, !!FU:E, !!FU:P, !!MA, !!VR:H, !!VR:C
* !!BU:C, !!BU:E, !!BU:G, !!BU:M implemented
* Allow use of "MC:S@varName@" to declare normal variable (technically v-variable with string key)
* Re-enabled VERM macros.
* !?GM0 added
* !?TM implemented

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.

This is easiest way to make server RNG available to CBattleInfoCallback.
Now server, client and gamestate have own RNG instance.
Only server and gamestate RNGs are serialized.
That wouldn't be as big issue if problem affected few files, but it everywhere in codebase.
Fixed it everywhere since in most files that is the only code with wrong indentation.
