nmlgc b801d24a34 [Reverse-engineering] [th04/th05] Setting the player shot velocity
The TH05 difference: A ridiculous out-of-bounds structure field access.
Could have done safely by just passing a shot_t*, but ZUN's too cool
for that?

Also, about time we started putting the function prototypes directly
into the C headers, and the C headers *only*, upon reverse-engineering…

nmlgc 5ebbe7bda9 [Maintenance] Move all shot-related slices to the player/ subdirectory
It seems that the main th0?/ directories should only contain actual
translation units (of which there are more than previously assumed)
as well as other not really further classifiable slices?

nmlgc a533b5d3ea [Reverse-engineering] [th04/th05] Player sprite area invalidation
And once again, the TH05 version is un-decompilable. :/ It was pretty
close this time, though, as the entire block between PUSH DI and POP DI
kind of resembles a separate inlined function, in accordance with Turbo
C++'s  automatic backup of the DI register, as researched in 7f971a0.

Except that it contains a loop, and Turbo C++ refuses to inline any
function with `do`, `while`, `for`, or `goto`. If it didn't, it would
have totally worked.

Also, yes, C++ class methods are treated identically in this regard.

Oh well. Shot type control functions next, finally!

nmlgc c77a9276d3 [Reverse-engineering] [th04/th05] Death-related variables
Including the confirmation that both games have an 8-frame deathbomb
window.
The placement of the variables is all over the place though, what the
hell?

nmlgc 881f2c671e [Reverse-engineering] [th04/th05] Player option position
They are supposed to lag behind the player's movement by one frame, and
therefore have to be tracked separately.

I would have also included TH02, if it weren't for the weird sprite
indirection system (not storing X and Y positions directly in the
structure, but taking them from a buffer, with their addresses
always changing, WTF?!) that absolutely needs separate attention.
