The vertical shmup counterpart to 841d8be. Cleans up the subsystem
hierarchy by ensuring that at least all tile /formats/ code does not
depend on /main/ code.

By now, it has become clear that this the norm rather than the
exception among these units. Thankfully!

I could have equally argued the opposite way, and in favor of `sgm` and
`ofs`, but I've also been using `seg` and `off` more prevalently
throughout the years.

Even that part's the same in these three games… except for the 27 small
places where it isn't, 7 of which are purely coding style cosmetics.

Let's see if anyone ever tries to compile this codebase with a pre-C89
compiler that enforces the # at the beginning of the line.

The .PTN functions, vector functions, and egc_copy_rect_1_to_0_1()
(finally!) from TH01, as well as playfld.hpp from all games(finally!),
together with a bunch of other functions in their vicinity.

The one where Shinki spawns her wings, which fire 50 quick random
bullets as soon as they appear. Featuring the first reliance on a piece
of state set by an earlier boss, which technically affects gameplay!

Now you can grep for it¹!

We've been using the three-letter extension names for everything else
that isn't .DAT, so it's more consistent to do the same for .MPN,
however particularly nice and readable its FOURCC may be. 8.3 filenames
also really appreciate that they'll have to accommodate one fewer
letter.

Sure, we can't use them everywhere, but it's really nice to get rid of
that casting madness – and any explicit references to x86 memory
segmentation – wherever we can.
Part of P0138, funded by [Anonymous] and Blue Bolt.
Segment alignment forces us to do all of those at once… but now, we've
not only caught up with the segment split point in TH04's OP.EXE and
MAINE.EXE, but also decompiled all instances of DEFCONV functions!

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.
Part of P0137, funded by [Anonymous].
Turns out that ARG RETURNS is only really necessary in DEFCONV
functions, which are explicitly declared to use either the C or PASCAL
calling convention. In functions without such a declaration, ARG by
itself works just fine, and won't emit any instructions on its own.
The parameter lists for PASCAL functions still have to be reversed in
that case, though… oh well, let's just comment these cases to hopefully
reduce the confusion.

DOS is not the same thing as the underlying CPU, after all. A separate
file not only indicates to future port authors which parts of the code
are x86-specific, but it also speeds up build times…
… in theory, because removing 677 lines from 49 files each doesn't seem
to speed up the build as much as I had hoped? But apparently my whole
system mysteriously got faster in the meantime, and I was getting 22-23
seconds for the entire repo even before this commit. Good enough.

Getting us completely macro-free there… even though it did require a
separate version of those functions if the ID is a pointer.

The `struct date` members in `scoredat_t` add a dependency on <dos.h>
to the entire header file. Makes sense to move it out as early as
possible.

The change of pi_free() from a macro to a function in TH05 doesn't
require a complete redefinition.

Wow, this is the first time we're about to call any of these from C
land in ≥TH03? Found no built-in way to just uppercase an identifier
in TASM, so apparently we have to spell out the names in both lower-
and uppercase.
So, let's go back to regular, non-macro PUBLIC / PROC / ENDP code
wherever we can – for all functions introduced in ≥TH03, and for
everything that takes no parameters. It's simply not worth the
trouble.

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.

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

The supposedly low-hanging fruit that almost every outside contributor
wanted to grab a lot earlier, but (of course) always just for a single
game… Comprehensively covering all of them has only started to make
sense recently 😛
Also, yes, the variable with the uppercase .CFG filename has itself a
lowercase name and vice versa…

Oh wow, caff4fe introduced wrong bytes into RES_KSO.COM by confusing
[cfg_bombs] with [credit_lives] -.- Which I didn't find out back then
because all the RES_*.COM binaries still had some different instruction
encodings anyway and I just didn't care enough to base my diff of those
files on the wrong encoding versions to notice the bug…
Whoops.
