With the SI poll line count fixed, pretty much all games are polling
twice per frame anyways, making this option superfluous. Since it's a
bit of a gross hack and makes DTMs incompatible with console, let's
just bin it.
This changes the Host Input Authority and Golf Mode checkboxes into a
set of radio buttons, consisting of Fair Input Delay, Host Input
Authority, and Golf Mode. This represents the 3 network modes we have.
Although Golf Mode is just an extension of Host Input Authority, it's
more logical to the user to present it as a separate option, rather
than enabling the Golf Mode checkbox only when Host Input Authority is
enabled. This also eliminates the need to first enable Host Input
Authority before Golf Mode can be enabled.
This also adds tooltips to provide brief descriptions of the options,
as well as reintroducing tooltips that were previously removed.
This is an extension of host input authority that allows switching the
host (who has zero latency) on the fly, at the further expense of
everyone else's latency. This is useful for turn-based games where the
latency of players not on their turn doesn't matter.
To become the so-called golfer, the player simply presses a hotkey.
When the host is the golfer, latency is identical to normal host input
authority.
This sends arbitrary packets in chunks to be reassembled at the other
end, allowing large data transfers to be speed-limited and interleaved
with other packets being sent. It also enables tracking the progress of
large data transfers.
Adds a tickbox to the server's window to syncronize codes. Codes
are temporarily sent to each client and are used for the duration of the
session.
Saves the "sync codes" tickbox as per PR Netplay: Properly save hosting
