Old Status Bar Reversion

I've added the necessary option to revert to the old status bar (cl_oldsbar 1 and a menu option). This isn't a total reversion, as there are still some elements of my new HUD present - namely the mini deathmatch overlay and the scoreboards. I feel that these are justified as the classic Q1 versions involved adjusting screen elements and overwriting useful information. But the bulk of it (health/ammo/armour/inventory) can now revert cleanly.

Arch traditionalists should note that I didn't bother with adding alpha to the sbar and ibar background images; they draw solid, just like in the good ol' days of 320 x 200 DOS Quake.

I've also added a bug list to this page. It's pretty sketchy for now, but it will expand to contain lists of bugs as I come across them (and will hopefully shrink as I fix them!) This is the best place to have this for me, as I can quickly and easily make use of it, and also give useful updates on current status without having to write a mini-essay.
