## Description of change
In Options (and in Advanced/API/Search tabs), remove the help marker
`(?)` and instead add a tooltip to the option name label and the control
widgets like the checkbox, text input, and combo. This is to help with
discoverability as many users failed to discover the `(?)` widget.
Similarly, update the Patches tab to remove `(?)` and add tooltips to
widgets. Patches with warnings `(!)` will continue to show it to
distinguish it from other patches.
Update styling for the tooltip (dark red background -> dark gray) so
that it stands out from other widgets.
Remove the purple option text used for game-specific options.

Fixes#276
## Description of change
Note: this change is not compatible with previous screen resize config;
i.e., if you had the zoom setting dialed into a certain view, after this
change it won't be the same area, so you'll have to set up a scene
again. I think this is a worthwhile cost since the old logic is just
broken in weird ways, and preserving old settings is really tedious math
(for a feature that not many people use). Besides, this change will only
use the new Scenes values from the JSON.
Rewrite the DX9 image scaler logic.
* Previously, the rendering surface was fixed at `4096*4096 px`. Now,
this is relative to the backbuffer dimensions, which depends on the game
& respects user provided `-forceres`.
* Remove "center" option, make it the default.
Above two changes fix the aspect ratio issue (scaling in portrait games
not respecting screen ratio) and things breaking at higher res (1080p
when zoomed out far enough, or when forced to run at 4k resolution for
example)
* Use `scenes` leaf of screen resize JSON config for Scene 1 as well,
completely removing ourselves from being compatible with older spice2x
versions for these values.
* Add additional bounds check before calling `StretchRect` to avoid
users getting stuck with a bad layout, which can kill performance.

## Description of change
Add `SDVX Landscape Mode` option, allowing you to play SDVX in landscape
monitor orientation, with black borders on left and right - similar to
how EAC does it. This is meant to be an alternative to what people do
today, which is launching in windowed mode.
By default, with just `-sdvxlandscape` enabled, EG will launch at
1920x1080 (transposed from the original 1080x1920 resolution).
It is possible to combine with `-forceres` to launch at higher
resolutions. At some point though, when rendering at large resolutions
past 1440p, at some point scaling may break due to #276.
Disabled on 32-bit SDVX since dx9 `CreateDeviceEx` call is required;
`CreateDevice` won't work. For the same reason this isn't being made a
generic option for museca/rb/etc. In theory you can supply
`-sdvxlandscape` to games like IIDX and play landscape games in portrait
mode, although again, scaling my break due to #276.
Also, add new options (bottomleft/right) for subscreen overlay position
so that they don't overlap with the main screen in landscape mode.

Fixes#263
## Description of change
Add "scenes" to screen resize.
* UI changes - F11 menu now has a "scene switcher" for `Scene 1/2/3/4`.
Clean up other UI bits.
* Add hotkeys for `Screen Resize Scene 1`, `Screen Resize 2`, and so on.
* Detect hot key and trigger resizes.
* Add additional objects to screen_resize.json for saving and loading
the new scene settings.
* Existing screen resize data is backwards compatible (can be
loaded/saved to JSON), and is treated as `Scene 1`.
* Add API endpoint for `Resize`, allow toggling resize on/off, switching
active scene
* Add Python wrapper. Did not bother with the other wrappers (Dart, C++,
etc)...

## Description of change
Previously, F11 menu just provided text-based hint on how to enable
-windowscale option.
Instead, show a disabled checkbox that correctly reflects the current
state, nudging the user to read the tooltip.
Elaborate the option tooltip for -windowscale as well for consistency &
explain *why* you might want to enable this.

## Description of change
When copying text to clipboard, the last character was being dropped due
to incorrect string buffer size calculation.
Also, clean up callers to just pass std:string by reference instead of
going back and forth between C-style strings.
Lastly, fix `git archive` in `build_all.sh` which broke after github
migration.
