serialize.h: use machine native byte swapping if available, fall-back to previous generic method if not (supported for GCC using endian.h, detection done in cmake) write/readARGB8() - just write 32-bit color in one op, instead of 4 1-byte ops cleanup: removed unneeded buffer init for some serialize-out functions use a #define for the fixed point factor in read/writeF1000()

nodemetadata.cpp, nodetimer.cpp
	optimzation: simpler deserialize node position method

staticobject.cpp:
	cleanup: use util/serialize.h inlines instead of its own de/serialization

serialize.cpp:
	minor optimization/cleanup: avoid generation of unneeded string temporary

CMakeLists.txt, cmake_config.h.in: detection of endian.h

config.h: added HAVE_ENDIAN_H

CNodeDefManager::get()
VoxelManipulator::addArea()

getTileInfo() ~1.5x faster
getSmoothLight ~2.0x faster

NB: Minor edits to patch made by Zeno- (int to short and minor formatting)

Also fix leaking globals found by it.

This adds proper support for nested tables and improves performance a bit.

Mapgen v5: Fix minor style issue

Add BiomeManager, OreManager, DecorationManager, and SchematicManager

Create faster key cache for main game loop (client)

- Don't create and cache an extruded mesh for every (non-node) item.
  Instead use a single one per image resolution.

- For cubic nodes reuse a single wield mesh too

- Improve lighting of the wielded item

- Increase far value of wield mesh scene camera, fixes #1770

- Also includes some minor refactorings of Camera and GenericCAO.

See: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/1790

a) Fix double tap for jump and show_debug
b) Revert changes to limitFps()... there is no verification that the new method was an issue, but going back to old method just in case
b.2) limitFps() no longer calls device->run() and also no longer has to be called immediately after a call to device->run()
