Kevin Shanahan cc36d8eadc light: rewrite light tracing function and update callers
Substantial changes to TestLineOrSky which now becomes TraceLine to
more conveniently trace lines through the BSP and, terminate the trace
on specific contents and return information about the termination
point.

TraceLine also more correcly handles the cases where points are close
enough to the node planes to be considered "on-node" to ensure we get
a good intersection point back, when requested.

Finally, the algorithm for making the small adjustments to surface
points in CalcPoints has been changed so if the surface point can't
see the midpoint, we find the obscuring surface and move the surface
point just above that. Seems to work better and eliminates some (but
not quite all - midpoint is still not quite the ideal point to use)
random black spots.

A collection of command line utilities for building Quake levels and working
with various Quake file formats. I need to work on the documentation a bit
more, but below are some brief descriptions of the tools.

Included utilities:

  qbsp    - Used for turning a .map file into a playable .bsp file.
            See qbsp.txt for more detailed information.

  light   - Used for lighting a level after the bsp stage. This util is also
            known as TyrLite; see light.txt for detailed usage instructions.

  vis     - Creates the potentially visible set (PVS) for a bsp.
            See vis.txt for more detailed information.

  bspinfo - Simple util to print out some stats about the data contained in a
            bsp file.

  bsputil - Tool for working with a bsp file. Minimal features currently, but
            it can extract the entities lump from a bsp file into a text file
            and extract the textures to a .wad file.
