Host/Join CCMDs for easier netgame access

[RicardoLuis0]

host NUMPLAYERS [MAP=X LOADSAVE=X PORT=X SKILL=X TICDUP=X EXTRATIC PACKET_SERVER DEATHMATCH ALTDEATH]
join ADDR [LOADSAVE=X PORT=X]

(the optional arguments may be passed in any order)

I wasn't able to get deathmatch to work, would always load as Coop. Was using this as the command: host 2 port=5031 map=vs1 deathmatch

But other than that, this works very well! Massive quality of life improvement over what's already there.

[RicardoLuis0]

Ah, i forgot to add the == 0 on the CCMD's zero-argument parameters 🤦‍♂️

[TehRealSalt]

Deathmatch flag has been fixed 😄

But the latest commit appears to add a new bug; post-processing shaders gets double-loaded. Noticed it with my IWAD's CRT post-process shader.

Minimum reproduction test pk3:
post-process-test.zip

It's a basic post-process shader that darkens the screen by 50%. Hosting with this added will make it 25%.

I don't know much about the shader/rendering part of gzdoom's code, i'll ask if someone else can take a look at it

Of note this will have a minor merge conflict if #1964 gets in before this one, just a heads up.

When I host a game via the CCMD command with a number greater than 1, the game simply freezes. It's probably waiting for a connection, but without a message or SOMETHING....that's not good IMHO, especially since you literally can't do anything until it stops (ie someone connects, purportedly) :P #1927

are you on a non-windows platform? that's the exact thing that I_NetRestartShowConsole fixes on windows, but i don't have a dev machine for linux or macos to be able to implement it on those platforms

Yeah, I'm on MacOS.

[RicardoLuis0]

Yeah, I'm on MacOS.

it should show a progress bar at least if you run it from a window instead of fullscreen (at least it did on windows before I_NetRestartShowConsole was implemented)

This one has conflicts, probably due to the move to the new ZWidget system.
