This allows mods to perform both asynchronous and synchronous HTTP
requests. Mods are only granted access to HTTP APIs if either mod
security is disabled or if they are whitelisted in any of the
the secure.http_mods and secure.trusted_mods settings.
Adds httpfetch_caller_alloc_secure to generate random, non-predictable
caller IDs so that lua mods cannot spy on each others HTTP queries.
This adds the ability to grab 'slices' of noise calculated by PerlinNoiseMap.
Retrieving smaller slices of noise from the computation result as needed
optimizes memory usage while maintaining a reasonable amount of CPU overhead.
NodeResolver name lists now belong to the NodeResolver object instead of
the associated NodeDefManager. In addition to minimizing unnecessary
abstraction and overhead, this move permits NodeResolvers to look up nodes
that they had previously set pending for resolution. So far, this
functionality has been used in the case of schematics for
serialization/deserialization.
On the lua side, notably minetest.env:<function>(<args>) should now
be replaced by minetest.<function>(<args>).
The old way is and will stay supported for a long time.
