Core changes

Bugfixes

• Stability:
  • Resolved all remaining floating point use cases, eliminating known causes of several desyncs (c. Veeq7, Pr0nogo, Jesse; b. Jesse, TheBeaver99, Neblime, BtyB, 3crow, Lucifirius, Doglived, IAMtheWHEATofGOD)
    • Not all desyncs have been eliminated, but you should see a significant reduction, especially in games not featuring Askosi!
    • Many working systems may have been made buggy by this huge change. We need testing for that! Please help report crashes or buggy behavior.
    • Huge shout-out to Veeq7 for being the primary workhorse of this change, and special thanks to Jesse who helped get the ball rolling. The donors are also greatly appreciated!
  • Prospectively fixed rare AI crash related to retreating some units (r. iliektoeatgrass, c. DarkenedFantasies)
  • Known issue: Lakizilisk return spines behave improperly.
