The Rockbox frontend allows games to be displayed in a "zoomed-in"
state targets with small displays. Currently we use a modal interface
-- a "viewing" mode in which the cursor keys are used to pan around
the rendered bitmap; and an "interaction" mode that actually sends
keys to the game.
This commit adds a midend_get_cursor_location() function to allow the
frontend to retrieve the backend's cursor location or other "region of
interest" -- such as the player location in Cube or Inertia.
With this information, the Rockbox frontend can now intelligently
follow the cursor around in the zoomed-in state, eliminating the need
for a modal interface.

Again, this seems to have made no difference in a test generation run
with the command "towers --generate 100 6du#12345".

I've only just realised that there's a false-positive bug in the
latin.c solver framework.
It's designed to solve puzzles in which the solution is a latin square
but with some additional constraints provided by the individual
puzzle, and so during solving, it runs a mixture of its own standard
deduction functions that apply to any latin-square puzzle and extra
functions provided by the client puzzle to do deductions based on the
extra clues or constraints.
But what happens if the _last_ move in the solving process is
performed by one of the latin.c built-in methods, and it causes a
violation of the client puzzle's extra constraints? Nothing will ever
notice, and so the solver will report that the puzzle has a solution
when it actually has none.
An example is the Group game id 12i:m12b9a1zd9i6d10c3y2l11q4r . This
was reported by 'groupsolver -g' as being ambiguous. But if you look
at the two 'solutions' reported in the verbose diagnostics, one of
them is arrant nonsense: it has no identity element at all, and
therefore, it fails associativity all over the place. Actually that
puzzle _does_ have a unique solution.
This bug has been around for ages, and nobody has reported a problem.
For recursive solving, that's not much of a surprise, because it would
cause a spurious accusation of ambiguity, so that at generation time
some valid puzzles would be wrongly discarded, and you'd never see
them. But at non-recursive levels, I can't see a reason why this bug
_couldn't_ have led one of the games to present an actually impossible
puzzle believing it to be soluble.
Possibly this never came up because the other clients of latin.c are
more forgiving of this error in some way. For example, they might all
be very likely to use their extra clues early in the solving process,
so that the requirements are already baked in by the time the final
grid square is filled. I don't know!
Anyway. The fix is to introduce last-minute client-side validation:
whenever the centralised latin_solver thinks it's come up with a
filled grid, it should present it to a puzzle-specific validator
function and check that it's _really_ a legal solution.
This commit does the plumbing for all of that: it introduces the new
validator function as one of the many parameters to latin_solver, and
arranges to call it in an appropriate way during the solving process.
But all the per-puzzle validation functions are empty, for the moment.

This is the main bulk of this boolification work, but although it's
making the largest actual change, it should also be the least
disruptive to anyone interacting with this code base downstream of me,
because it doesn't modify any interface between modules: all the
inter-module APIs were updated one by one in the previous commits.
This just cleans up the code within each individual source file to use
bool in place of int where I think that makes things clearer.

This commit removes the old #defines of TRUE and FALSE from puzzles.h,
and does a mechanical search-and-replace throughout the code to
replace them with the C99 standard lowercase spellings.

encode_params, validate_params and new_desc now take a bool parameter;
fetch_preset, can_format_as_text_now and timing_state all return bool;
and the data fields is_timed, wants_statusbar and can_* are all bool.
All of those were previously typed as int, but semantically boolean.
This commit changes the API declarations in puzzles.h, updates all the
games to match (including the unfinisheds), and updates the developer
docs as well.

This function gives the front end a way to find out what keys the back
end requires; and as such it is mostly useful for ports without a
keyboard. It is based on changes originally found in Chris Boyle's
Android port, though some modifications were needed to make it more
flexible.

The branch of the code that claimed the puzzle to be ambiguous was not
also re-running the solver with diagnostics enabled, so that if a user
tries to use this tool to hand-design a puzzle, they do not get
feedback on what the multiple legal solutions actually are.

They're never dynamically allocated, and are almost always string
literals, so const is more appropriate.

This allows me to use different types for the mutable, dynamically
allocated string value in a C_STRING control and the fixed constant
list of option names in a C_CHOICES.

Now midend.c directly tests the returned pointer for equality to this
value, instead of checking whether it's the empty string.
A minor effect of this is that games may now return a dynamically
allocated empty string from interpret_move() and treat it as just
another legal move description. But I don't expect anyone to be
perverse enough to actually do that! The main purpose is that it
avoids returning a string literal from a function whose return type is
a pointer to _non-const_ char, i.e. we are now one step closer to
being able to make this code base clean under -Wwrite-strings.

To do this, I've completely replaced the API between mid-end and front
end, so any downstream front end maintainers will have to do some
rewriting of their own (sorry). I've done the necessary work in all
five of the front ends I keep in-tree here - Windows, GTK, OS X,
Javascript/Emscripten, and Java/NestedVM - and I've done it in various
different styles (as each front end found most convenient), so that
should provide a variety of sample code to show downstreams how, if
they should need it.
I've left in the old puzzle back-end API function to return a flat
list of presets, so for the moment, all the puzzle backends are
unchanged apart from an extra null pointer appearing in their
top-level game structure. In a future commit I'll actually use the new
feature in a puzzle; perhaps in the further future it might make sense
to migrate all the puzzles to the new API and stop providing back ends
with two alternative ways of doing things, but this seemed like enough
upheaval for one day.

Highlight clues of value n in Towers if its row/column contains an
increasing sequence of length n, the last number of which is not equal
to the number of rows/columns (i.e. such that the sequence will have
to be extended, in violation of the clue).

zero to be generated as the empty string rather than "0". Instead, do
the job by the obvious approach of not calling sprintf at all if the
number is zero. Works around a bug in Emscripten's C library, whose
sprintf doesn't correctly handle that corner case.

puzzle backend function which ought to have it, and propagate those
consts through to per-puzzle subroutines as needed.
I've recently had to do that to a few specific parameters which were
being misused by particular puzzles (r9657, r9830), which suggests
that it's probably a good idea to do the whole lot pre-emptively
before the next such problem shows up.

new_desc. Oddities in the 'make test' output brought to my attention
that a few puzzles have been modifying their input game_params for
various reasons; they shouldn't do that, because that's the
game_params held permanently by the midend and it will affect
subsequent game generations if they modify it. So now those arguments
are const, and all the games which previously modified their
game_params now take a copy and modify that instead.

basically just so that it can divide mouse coordinates by the tile
size, but is definitely not expected to _write_ to it, and it hadn't
previously occurred to me that anyone might try. Therefore,
interpret_move() now gets a pointer to a _const_ game_drawstate
instead of a writable one.
All existing puzzles cope fine with this API change (as long as the
new const qualifier is also added to a couple of subfunctions to which
interpret_move delegates work), except for the just-committed Undead,
which somehow had ds->ascii and ui->ascii the wrong way round but is
otherwise unproblematic.

midend_status(), and given it three return codes for win, (permanent)
loss and game-still-in-play. Depending on what the front end wants to
use it for, it may find any or all of these three states worth
distinguishing from each other.
(I suppose a further enhancement might be to add _non_-permanent loss
as a fourth distinct status, to describe situations in which you can't
play further without pressing Undo but doing so is not completely
pointless. That might reasonably include dead-end situations in Same
Game and Pegs, and blown-self-up situations in Mines and Inertia.
However, I haven't done this at present.)

thereafter read. Most of these changes are just removal of pointless
stuff or trivial reorganisations; one change is actually substantive,
and fixes a bug in Keen's clue selection (the variable 'bad' was
unreferenced not because I shouldn't have set it, but because I
_should_ have referenced it!).

state is in a solved position, and a midend function wrapping it.
(Or, at least, a situation in which further play is pointless. The
point is, given that game state, would it be a good idea for a front
end that does that sort of thing to proactively provide the option to
start a fresh game?)

change for the actual selection, but the selection code is reused to
draw the victory flash and that's greatly improved by not having the
tower sides remain unflashed.

side: instead of locating a mouse click in whichever base grid
square contained the click location, we should check to see if a
tower protrudes on to that location from a neighbouring square. That
way, a click should reliably activate the tower that was actually
drawn under the mouse pointer.
