* Possible quick fix for https://bugs.vcmi.eu/view.php?id=2860
* Set vcmiclient as VS_STARTUP_PROJECT so it's will be default debug target instead of ALL_BUILD.
* Add AIs and server as dependencies for client so VS will suggest to rebuild them before debugging.
- macOS: RPATH-related code all removed or disabled
- macOS: new osx/CMakeLists.txt to run some install-code running after all subdirectories
- Assets copying into the runtime output directory implemented for Mac and Linux development
- Change default build output directory name from "build" to "bin"
- Implement new function vcmi_get_cmake_debug_info
- Link client with SDL2main on Windows and disable debug console
- Remove all old MinGW-specific options since they outdated and MXE work fine
- Set AUTOGEN_TARGETS_FOLDER for better Xcode and Visual Studio projects
- Remove useless vcmitestFiles custom target for less garbage in project files
- Most of outdated CMakeLists code removed.
- All Mac-specific code is removed include Sparkle support and vcmibuilder app.
- DMG buidling reimplemented using macdeployqt command.
- Use EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL for FuzzyLite and GoogleTest to avoid inclusion of unneded headers and libraries into installers.
- Set minimum CMake version only in main CMakeLists.txt
- Set project name only in main CMakeLists.txt
- Visual Studio: add assign_source_group function to generate proper filesystem tree
- Visual Studio: set PROJECT_LABEL so generated projects have same names binaries on Windows
- Visual Studio: enabled USE_FOLDERS for projects grouping. This also possibly affect other IDEs.
- Added add_subdirectory_with_folder function to make sure 3rd-party libraries are affected by USE_FOLDERS.

Enabled threaded init in CMT;
* Prevented a deadlock in logger on some devices;
* Fixed frozen intro frame after interrupting the video;
Added android progressbar displaying during initial data loading;
* Hacky fix for choppy animations during heroes movement (should look better now, but it's definitely not a good solution);
* Changes/fixes for new android launcher building process;
* Fixed app hang after getting SDL_QUIT when activity was destroyed;

In my case, Frameworks was pointed to root/../Frameworks, which is wrong;
WoG mod is not checked out by default, so we should give a hint from where to download it;
besides, WoG is optional to run vcmi.
- moved SoundBase.h to lib since it contains shared data
- added RMG info to object format. Note that data is not yet imported in
configs
- slightly updated API of object handlers
