TURN is a last resort, used only if all other methods failed.
TURN is a relay approach to connect client and server together, where
openttd.org (by default) is the middleman.
It is very unlikely either the client or server cannot connect to
the STUN server, as they are both already connected to the Game
Coordinator. But in the odd case it does fail, estabilishing the
connection fails without any further possibility to recover.

In this mode you do register to the Game Coordinator, but your
server will not show up in the public server listing. You can give
your friends the invite code of the server with which they can
join.
|
|
This removes the need to know a server IP to join it. Invite codes
are small (~7 characters) indentifiers for servers, which can be
exchanged with other players to join the servers.

Rename the zero-parameter NetworkValidateClientName to NetworkValidateOurClientName to make it clearer it is performed on our client name, and to make it a non-overloaded function to aid with the variant being added a few commits later

Additionally, only rebuild it when we added a new manual server,
as otherwise it is a noop anyway.

We now resolve the connection_string to a NetworkAddress in a much
later state. This means there are fewer places constructing a NetworkAddress.
The main benefit of this is in later PRs that introduce different types
of NetworkAddresses. Storing this in things like NetworkGameList is
rather complex, especially as NetworkAddress has to be mutable at all
times.
Additionally, the NetworkAddress is a complex object to store simple
information: how to connect to this server.

scan (#9130)
This means that pressing Refresh button and adding servers manually
now uses TCP.
The master-server and initial scan are still UDP as they will be
replaced by Game Coordinator; no need to change this now.
If we query a server that is too old, show a proper warning to the
user informing him the server is too old.
|
|
This also means we no longer need last_host/last_port, but can
just use a single last_joined setting.
|

|
|
The lobby of a server requested some parts via UDP and some via
TCP. This is strictly seen fine, but for future extensions it
is a lot easier if just one protocol is used.

Especially if there are many players online, trying to chat with
the right one can be a visual challenge. This can be solved by
highlighting the row you are on. This visual cue is often enough
for humans to find the right row.

You can now easily do:
- a password reset (unlock)
- remove an empty company (reset company)
|
|
The GUI now more clearly shows some basic information about the
server you joined, your client name (and the ability to change it),
and what players are in which company.
It also contains useful buttons to press to join companies, chat
with other people, and for admins to kick/ban people.
Additionally, renamed "advertised" to "visibility"; this has to
do with future additions, but also because it is more clear in
wording.

The original idea was that people could find a server they could
talk in their native language on. This isn't really used in that
way. There are several reasons for removing this:
- the client also sends his "language" to the server, but nothing
is doing anything with this.
- flags are a bad way to represent languages, and over the years
we had several (rightfully) complaints about this.
- most servers have their language set to "All", and prefix the
servername with the language it is about. This is a much more
efficient way to do the same.
All in all, this feature should go back to the drawing board.
Maybe it could work in another form, but this form is not it.

The idea back in the days was nice, but it never resulted in
anything useful. Most servers either read "(loaded game)" or
"Random Map", neither being useful. It was meant for heightmaps,
so you could find a server that was using a specific one .. but
there are many things wrong with that idea. Mostly, servers tend
to save and load savegames from time to time, after which the
original heightmap used was lost.
All in all, removing map_name all together is just better.

#9042 did not fix all combinations of scaling options. This additional
change makes the server list automatically fill available height.

|
Font zoom.
The server information panel was scaled by GUI scale, which could result in a panel that is longer than the server list. This height difference is then maintained when the window is resized to fill the screen.
Instead, specify the minimum size by number of text lines and (summed total) padding.
