Engine features

• Added additional requirement properties (requires_status, requires_item, etc) to enemy and NPC map objects. The properties now match what is available for map events.
• When 'mouse aim' is disabled, the Shift key can now be used with the direction keys to change the player's orientation without moving.
• Added optional 'fog-of-war' feature (r-a-cristian-93)
• Added support for multiple sets/loadouts of equipped items (r-a-cristian-93)
• Added random_status attribute to Events for setting/unsetting a random status from a list.
• Reworked gamepad handling using the SDL_GameController API.
• Several new key bindings, many of which will benefit gamepad users.
• Added an "action picker" for interacting with items/powers when using a gamepad or a touchscreen.
• Added misc.selection_rect_corner_size to engine/widget_settings.txt. This allows for a nicer "targeting reticle" appearance when selecting widgets without a mouse.
• Added 'background' property for all menus. Menus will fall back to the existing hard-coded filenames if this property is omitted.
• Added 'close', 'label_title', and 'action_list' properties to MenuConfirm configuration.
• Added 'render_layers' section to StatBlock definitions. It has the same syntax and functionality as engine/hero_layers.txt, so that file is now considered deprecated.
• Added 'animation_slots' section to StatBlock definitions. This allows for multiple animation layers on non-player entities that don't have an inventory like the player.
• Added a 'direction' property to map NPCs, indentical to the property of the same name for map enemies.
• Added 'vendor_ratio_buy', 'vendor_ratio_sell', and 'vendor_ratio_sell_old' properties to engine/loot.txt. These deprecate 'vendor_ratio' and 'vendor_ratio_buyback'.
• Added 'vendor_ratio_buy', 'vendor_ratio_sell', and 'vendor_ratio_sell_old' properties to NPCs. These can be used to override the global settings in engine/loot.txt.
• Added 'tooltip_visible_max' to engine/tootlips.txt to control the maximum number of visible floating tooltips.
