Way easier to read compared to the mental gymnastics of the original
"offset + range" form, especially since we can also abstract away
subpixels with another layer of wrapper functions. Also brings a bunch
of new speed/angle symmetries to light.

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

Might look uglier, but has the advantage of not generating an empty
segment with the default name… *and* the default padding, which will
really come in handy with the following breakthrough.

Originally just a workaround to remove angles from the PI counter, but
having the sign indicate the Y direction also makes them a lot nicer to
read in C land.

A bit tricky with those ASM translation units near-calling functions in
the very first segment, and #pragma codeseg requiring an additional
group parameter to correctly calculate array offsets (including those
used for `switch` statements). But doable.

Again, 11 necessary workarounds, vs. forcing byte aligment in at least
18 places, and that number would have significantly grown in the
future.
