As used for the title screen fade-in effect. Another function that
apparently was deliberately written to run not that fast, by blitting
each row individually to the 400th VRAM row just so that it can then
turn on the EGC, perform the *actual* masked blit to the VRAM
destination, and then turn the EGC off before moving to the next now.
The same effect could have entirely been accomplished by copying
graph_pack_put_8() and applying the mask there; it's not like ZUN
didn't know how to modify master.lib…

"Yeah, let's do this real quick, how can this possibly be hard, it's
just MOVs and a few function calls"…
…except that these MOVs access quite a lot of data, which we now all
have to declare in the C world, hooray.
Once it came to midbosses and bosses, I just turned them into C structs
after all. Despite what I said in 260edd8… after all, the ASM world
doesn't care about the representation in the C world, so they don't
necessarily have to be the same.
Since these structs can't contain everything related to midbosses and
bosses (really, why did all those variables have to be spread out like
this, ZUN?), it also made for a nice occasion to continue the "stuff"
naming scheme, describing "an obviously incomplete collection of
variables related to a thing", first seen in 160d4eb.
Also, PROCDESC apparently is the only syntactically correct option to
declare an extern near proc?
Also, that `boss_phase_timed_out` variable only needs to be here
already because TCC enforces word alignment for the .data segment…
yeah, it's technically not related to this commit, but why waste time
working around it if we can just include that one variable.

No leading underscore for functions with Pascal calling convention, but
we do have one for all variables, because it's not worth it to put
keywords in front of everything for no reason.
Seemed to have forgotten this rule in 2017?

Right, the last path component in an INCLUDE file name is "limited" to 28
bytes. Turns out it only crashes on every system that *isn't* the main one I
develop on, though…
OK, let's not identify the arrays in a file-based fashion just yet, and
first reduce all shared ZUN code that uses arrays. Less stressful, we'll
have to do this anyway, and I just can't resist the urge to immediately
reverse-engineer everything I find.
Also covering the two variations for blitting only every second row or
blitting only a 320x200 quarter, as seen in the endings.
So yeah, there's indeed nothing wrong with piread.cpp. TH03 just uses that
separate function that only blits every second row of an image, and indeed
always loads the entire image as it would appear in a PNG conversion. Here's
what happens if you display these images using the non-interlacing function:

For 32-bit immediate values, PUSH by itself is enough. For everything else,
PUSHD works in both TASM and JWasm.
Also, could it be...? Could we actually move to JWasm without breaking the
build in TASM at all?
... and then I end up copying modified versions into the individual game
subdirectories after all, because the changes between games were simply too
drastic. (That's also why I'm counting pfopen() itself twice.)
Only one slice left now, and then we're done with reduction!
