FS#6 - Hardware Workaround Scripts

Despite the renderer being written very well and to the spec, certain hardware has trouble doing functions reported to be supported by the driver. I propose an ini file that the engine reads directly after loading all standard configuration files. This ini file instructs the engine to make specific checks and if they pass, execute a configuration file.

The workaround handling being outside the engine allows future changes in the event that new hardware requires a workaround, without requiring recompiling the engine.

Attached are proposed example files.

Here is a patch for render.cc that loads ini/workarounds.ini and execs a command or commands if the renderer string matches. The format is explained a bit more in workarounds.ini. Dropped including other .cfg files because it would've made a huge mess.

It needs work still: Mega suggested allowing it to only modify r_ variables, and having a variable, r_allowWorkarounds so that people paranoid about their data can disable or enable graphical workarounds at will.
