Diego Martinez 13dd7959db Initialize facedir and wallmounted tables only once.
This makes the functions a bit faster since they don't
have to recreate the tables every invocation, and makes
the code more readable.

Also, document `wallmounted_to_dir`.

The function was implemented but not documented in `lua_api.txt`.

Auke Kok ad884f23d4 New timer design.
I could honestly not make much sense of the timer implementation
that was here. Instead I've implemented the type of timer algorithm
that I've used before, and tested it instead.

The concept is extremely simple: all timers are put in an ordered
list. We check every server tick if any of the timers have
elapsed, and execute the function associated with this timer.

We know that many timers by themselves cause new timers to be
added to this list, so we iterate *backwards* over the timer
list. This means that new timers being added while timers are
being executed, can never be executed in the same function pass,
as they are always appended to the table *after* the end of
the table, which we will never reach in the current pass over
all the table elements.

We switch time keeping to minetest.get_us_time(). dtime is
likely unreliable and we have our own high-res timer that we
can fix if it is indeed broken. This removes the need to do
any sort of time keeping.

Auke Kok 4ac1e9bccb Clocksource: use a better clock if available.
clock_gettime() is a far better clock than gettimeofday().

Even better than clock_gettime() is that you can select either
CLOCK_MONOTONIC, or even CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. These clocks offer
high precision time. And the _RAW variant will never roll back
due to NTP drift or daylight savings, or otherwise.

I've adjusted this code to select the right clock method auto-
matically based on what's available in the OS. This means that
if you're running a very old linux version, MacOS or other,
you will automatically get the best clocksource available.

I've tested all Linux clocksources by selectively compiling and
running a 10k+ timer test suite. In all cases I confirmed that
the 3 POSIX Linux clocksources worked properly, and were
selected properly.

I've modified the OS X compile path to use the high-res clock
source for all time functions, but I can't confirm it works or
that it compiles.

As for WIN32, I confirmed that the used clocksource is indeed
a Monotonic clocksource, so good news: that code section appears
to be exactly what it should be.

Auke Kok 882a89d65a Allow per-tiles culling.
Backface culling is enabled by default for all tiles, as this
is how the lua parser initializes each tiledef. We revert to
always using the value from the tiledef since it is always
read and serialized.

Mods that wish to enable culling for e.g. mesh nodes, now can
specify the following to enable backface culling:

    tiles = {{ name = "tex.png", backface_culling = true }},

Note the double '{' and use of 'name' key here! In the same
fashion, backface_culling can be disabled for any node now.

I've tested this against the new door models and this properly
allows me to disable culling per node. I've also tested this
against my crops mod which uses mesh nodes where culling needs
to be disabled, and tested also with plantlike drawtype nodes
where we want this to continue to be disabled.

No default setting has changed. The defaults are just migrated
from nodedef.cpp to c_content.cpp.

est31 b0523adc5f Add new ContentParamType2 "CPT2_DEGROTATE"
This might break some mods, but it is important for all uses of the param2 to
be documented.

This doesn't need a serialisation version or network protocol version change,
as old clients will still work on new servers, and it is bearable to have
new clients getting non rotated plants on old servers.

Duane Robertson a5bdfb6b3c Add get_biome_id(biome_name) callback
It returns the index used in mg->biomemap for a given biome name.
The biomemap is useless without this unless you re-register all existing biomes,
which could cause problems for anyone else trying to use biomemap.
With this, you can quickly create a lookup table of ids and names.

Tim 776760aba7 Clarify radii and distance types in documentation
Because not all circles are round:
* circles using an euclidean metric are what we usually call "round"
* circles using a maximum metric look like euclidean rectangles with equal adjacent sides (squares)
* circles using a manhattan metric look like an euclidean right angled rhombus (squares, but 45° rotated to the former one)

kwolekr beba969413 Ore: Add ore sheet column height range selection
Modders are now able to select the range of ore column height,
and the midpoint at which they 'grow' starting from.
This commit adds three new parameters for the 'sheet' ore type:
column_height_min, column_height_max, and column_midpoint_factor.
clust_size is now deprecated for this ore type.
