g4.14.0

• Resolve compiler warning about destructor syntax

• source made FCommandLine::operator[] return a const char * and fixed two places where this triggered a compile error.
• Move no-mipmapping from actor renderflag/particle flag, to a material property in GLDEFS, where it makes more sense. The feature was introduced in the short-lived engine version of 4.13 which was deemed too broken and needed to be replaced with a newer version anyway, so might as well perform an API-breaking change at this point in time. Note that this currently only works for sprites (its primary targeted use case) -- walls, flats and models can be patched in later.
