core.check_player_privs accepts as first argument a name or player object, but just tested for a string.
This caused crashes inside builtin, when being passed any unexpected types.

This provides a better (duck-typing like) test, better error reporting.

Use the setting "profiler.load" to enable profiling.
Other settings can be found in settingtypes.txt.

* /profiler print [filter] - report statistics to in-game console
* /profiler dump [filter] - report statistics to STDOUT and debug.txt
* /profiler save [format [filter]] - saves statistics to a file in your worldpath
	* txt (default) - same treetable format as used by the dump and print commands
	* csv - ready for spreadsheet import
	* json - useful for adhoc D3 visualizations
	* json_pretty - line wrapped and intended json for humans
	* lua - serialized lua table of the profile-data, for adhoc scripts
* /profiler reset - reset all gathered profile data.
	This can be helpful to discard of any startup measurements that often spike during loading or to get more useful min-values.

[filter] allows limiting the output of the data via substring/pattern matching against the modname.

Note: Serialized data structures might be subject to change with changed or added measurements.
	csv might be the most stable, due to flat structure.

Changes to the previous version include:

* Updated and extended API monitoring
* Correct calculation of average (mean) values (undistorted by idleness)
* Reduce instrumentation overhead.
* Fix crashes related to missing parameters for the future and occasional DIV/0's.
* Prevent issues caused by timetravel (overflow, timejump, NTP corrections)
* Prevent modname clashes with internal names.
* Measure each instrumentation individually and label based on registration order.
* Labeling of ABM's and LBM's for easier classification.
  Giving several ABM's or LBM's the same label will treat them as one.
  Missing labels will be autogenerated based on name or registration order.
* Configurable instrumentation and reporting. Skip e.g. builtin if you don't need it.
* Profile the profiler to measure instrumentation overhead.

Also update cinematic mode's description to include mouse

It seems that various different devices register as
Joysticks on linux, and their presence has caused
lots of confusion amongst minetest users.

Therefore, disable the joystick feature.

Closes #4261
Closes #4221

Sometimes you accidentally forget the quotes when using global_exists, this makes minetest abort if you did so.

Reduce spread from 96 to primes 61 and 67 (either side of 64)
Prime spreads help to keep 3D noise periodic features unaligned
'cave width' 0.2 to preserve tunnel width
Reduce octaves to 3 to improve network structure

This allows a nodedef to specify a fixed value for param2 to be
used for all normal placements.

There are several uses for this:

- nodes that require param2 to be set to a non-zero value for
  internal mod use. E.g. leafdecay could use this to detect that
  leaves are played by players.
- force wallmounted or facedir value at placement at placement

This overrides any player look direction or other on-the-fly
param2 setting during placement.

Adds initial ingame gamepad support to minetest.

Full Formspec support is not implemented yet and
can be added by a later change.

Add documentation, move files to a proper place and avoid memory leaks.
Make it work with most kind of texts, and allow backgrounds too.

Colored chat working as expected for both freetype and non-freetype builds. @nerzhul improvements * Add unit tests * Fix coding style * move guiChatConsole.hpp to client/

Partially reverts #3547
Infotext remains optional for objects, empty by default

Fixes #4120.

The change keys dialog can't be left. It doesn't make
much sense to show it on Android in the first place,
therefore disable it, just like commit

aed70cb0 'Disable sound and key binding settings in "pause" menu on android'

has disabled it for the esc menu.

Fixes #4115.

Bug and whitespace error fixed (Zeno)

Correct parameter names mg_valleys to mgvalleys
Remove biome NoiseParams from MapgenValleysParams
Improve format of parameter code

Also, fix a nil error that can happen sometimes in
menu_handle_key_up_down

This fixes the problem that the first timer tick is an
overrun and causes all timers to expire immediately.

replaces #4003

This seems very little cost and matches the old behavior more
closely. This will cause some more falling nodes to get added
to falling clusters. With the efficiency of the algorithm, this
really doesn't do much damage.

@SmallJoker has noted a bug that servers from the (local) main menu
favorites list can't be opened.

This commit fixes the bug by disabling any main menu based protocol
checks for servers from the favorite list.

Also, it fixes a second bug that happens when a server from the
public serverlist doesn't send its supported protocol versions,
most likely because its running a minetest older than commit [1].
Then we have shown an error msg that the server has enforced
one specific protocol version. This was most likely not the case.

Of course, we can't do anything better than do an assumption on
the protocol versions if they are not known. That assumption
should however be closest to the most often occuring case as
possible.

Also, some little cleanups.

Apply de morgan to simplify the logic.

Setting only loaded once, default value is to enable them.

This took me a while to figure out. We no longer visit all 9 block
around and with the touched node, but instead visit adjacent plus
self. We then walk -non- recursively through all neigbors and if
they cause a nodeupdate, we just keep walking until it ends. On
the way back we prune the tail.

I've tested this with 8000+ sand nodes. Video result is here:

Took ~ 10 seconds to process and return to normal.

 - Use local variables for tabs in place of globals
 - Merge together if statements where possible
 - Replace manual table searching code with indexof where possible

Additionally, fix misc. code style issues

Commit

65c09a96 "Set acceleration only once in falling node"

has made the acceleration being set only once.
But this has introduced a regression.

Fix #3884.
