With a different meaning (and sometimes, even type) every time they are
used, forcing me to look at details of boss fights way before I wanted…
wonderful. Not sure yet whether they're involved in Kurumi's and
Marisa's division-by-0 crashes, but that kind of wildly shared state is
exactly what causes bugs like these to happen. I did manage to
reproduce the Marisa crash during this research!
Temporarily breaking the rule of immediately reflecting ASM land
declarations in C land, because it makes more sense to render these as
macros, local to their respective pattern functions, and it's way too
early for declaring these. Or late, given that I've now got to add a
third push to this stretch…

Given how close the string literals of TH04's boss defeat sequence
function are to the end of its data segment, it makes sense to figure
out the three values after it right now.

Mostly centered around the HUD, popup, overlay, boss, and player shot
functions we're about to reference in the upcoming decompilations.

motion_t is also used for certain animations in MAINE.EXE, so not all
instances refer to entities in playfield space. Explicitly specifying
the latter now allows us to gain…

Palette hacks not included yet. Yup, that's how all phases can use
hardware color #0 as their background color.

64 slots reserved, 16 slots actually used, another 768 bytes of
conventional RAM wasted…
(And yes, that naming convention is indeed meant as a shoutout to all
the RPG Maker veterans out there.)

That could have easily been architected without forcing every boss to
manually set the "background to be drawn while bombing" function
pointer.
And without the laziness of just redrawing all tiles during the blocky
opening animation of certain bombs…

Not exclusively used for the boss entrance animations, even though its
data is declared in that general vicinity. It's also used for all bombs
in TH04, and Reimu's and Yuuka's bomb in TH05.

Whew, time to look at every `int` variable we ever declared! The best
moment to do this would have been a year ago, but well, better late
than never. No need to communicate that in comments anymore.
These shouldn't be used for widths, heights, or sprite-space
coordinates. Maybe we'll cover that another time, this commit is
already large enough.

Yes, this is the best time to cover these, since Stage 6 Yuuka's
animation state is reset in a variety of the boss phase end functions…

Adding op/, main/, and end/ directories does nicely cover a great
majority of the "not really further classifiable slices" implied in
d56bd45.
