Modify the obs_display API so that it always uses an orthographic
projection that is the size of the display, rather than OBS' base size.
Having it do an orthographic projection to OBS' base size was silly
because it meant that everything would be skewed if you wanted to draw
1:1 in the display. This deoes mean that the callbacks must handle
resizing the images, but it's worth it to ensure 1:1 draw sizes.
As for the preview widget, instead of making some funky widget within
widget that resizes, it's just going to be a widget within the entire
top layout. Also changed the preview padding color to gray.
- Move over the last of the original settings dialog code to QT. It was
actually a bit easier to write in the QT version. wxWidgets was
definitely not ideal for that because the pages would fully
create/destroy every time.
- [Win32] Fix os_dlopen so that it only appends .dll if not present
- [MacOS] Fix name dialog text edit widget issue (it would be better if
we could just use the list widget for editing labels, will have to
look in to that in the future)
- Tweak the settings UI a bit more and make 30 FPS default
- Add a macro to convert a QString to a UTF-8 const char * string
- Rename build/plugins to build/obs-plugins
- Remove the last of the wxWidgets code

Notes and details
--------------------------------------------------
Why was this done? Because wxWidgets was just lacking in many areas. I
know wxWidgets is designed to be used with native controls, and that's
great, but wxWidgets just is not a feature-complete toolkit for
multiplatform applications. It lacks in dialog editors, its code is
archaic and outdated, and I just feel frustrated every time I try to do
things with it.
Qt on the other hand.. I had to actually try Qt to realize how much
better it was as a toolkit. They've got everything from dialog editors,
to an IDE, a debugger, build tools, just everything, and it's all
top-notch and highly maintained. The focus of the toolkit is
application development, and they spend their time trying to help
people do exactly that: make programs. Great support, great tools,
and because of that, great toolkit. I just didn't want to alienate any
developers by being stubborn about native widgets.
There *are* some things that are rather lackluster about it and design
choices I disagree with though. For example, I realize that to have an
easy to use toolkit you have to have some level of code generation.
However, in my personal and humble opinion, moc just feels like a
terrible way to approach the problem. Even now I feel like there are a
variety of ways you could handle code generation and automatic
management of things like that. I don't like the idea of circumventing
the language itself like that. It feels like one giant massive hack.
--------------------------------------------------
Things that aren't working properly:
--------------------------------------------------
- Settings dialog is not implemented. The dialog is complete but the
code to handle the dialog hasn't been constructed yet.
- There is a problem with using Qt widgets as a device target on
windows, with at least OpenGL: if I have the preview widget
automatically resize itself, it seems to cause some sort of video
card failure that I don't understand.
- Because of the above, resizing the preview widget has been disabled
until I can figure out what's going on, so it's currently only a
32x32 area.
- Direct3D doesn't seem to render correctly either, seems that the
viewport is messed up or something. I'm sort of confused about
what's going on with it.
- The new main window seems to be triggering more race conditions than
the wxWidgets main window dialog did. I'm not entirely sure what's
going on here, but this may just be existing race conditions within
libobs itself that I just never spotted before (even though I tend to
be very thorough with race conditions any time I use variables
cross-thread)
