issues to solve:
- dynamic_cast error 2: One or more of the following type_info's has hidden visibility or is defined in more than one translation unit. They should all have public visibility. 13CPackForLobby, 20LobbyClientConnected, 20LobbyClientConnected.
- error setting socket option: set_option: No buffer space available

Disabled the following (for MSVC only) that couldn't (or shouldn't) be fixed.
4003: not enough actual parameters for macro 'identifier'
4250: 'class1' : inherits 'class2::member' via dominance
4251: 'type' : class 'type1' needs to have dll-interface to be used by clients of class 'type2'
4275: non dll-interface class 'type1' used as base for dll-interface class 'type2'
Warnings fixes
* Suppress `missing-braces` for Clang
* Fixed many C4275 warnings
* Fixed almost all Clang/GCC warnings
* Silence most frequent MSVC warning.
* Fixed some pessimizing-move warnings
* Fixed some unused capture warnings
* attribute for battle image added on hero class, allowing on hero schemes each hero have a unique battle .def in 'images' structures sided with portraits and specialties images
New features for players:
* Loading for multiplayer. Any save could be used for multiplayer.
* Restart for multiplayer. All clients will restart together.
* Loading from single save.
* Hotseat mixed with network game. Multiple players per client.
* Now connection to server could be cancelled.
* Return to menu on disconnections instead of crashes.
* Restoring of last selected map, save or campaign on next run.
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.
* Universities, Scholars and Witch Huts may offer new skills
* Moved encode/decodeSkill to CSkillHandler
* Refactored CSkill interface and CSkill::LevelInfo image storage
* Legacy game constants renamed to ORIGINAL_XXX_QUANTITY
Addresses several related problems:
* Propagation / unpropagation of duplicate bonuses is inconsistent, causing bugs
* Duplicate bonuses never stack, which is not always intended behaviour (e.g. multiple copies of resource generating artifacts)
* Different bonuses always stack, which is not always intended behaviour (e.g. Angel + Archangel morale bonuses)
This is addressed as follows:
* Duplicate bonuses are never eliminated during propagation/inheritance.
* Unpropagation eliminates only a single copy of duplicated bonus
* Bonus receives a new field stacking that determines stacking behaviour:
* * empty string = no stacking with duplicates (default)
* * "ALWAYS" = stacks with duplicates & everything else
* * some other value = no stacking with bonuses with same stacking value
Also Morale/Luck window now hides non-stacking bonuses.
* changed Bonus::additionalInfo to integer vector
* fixed deserialization for old savegames
* removed newline from JsonNode::toJson()
* updated bonus schema; SPELL_AFTER_ATTACK and SPELL_BEFORE_ATTACK use new addInfo format
* removed unnecessary init in Bonus constructor
