Consider block deallocation when planning routes
Blocks are not released until a sensor is detriggered. Not taking that
into account could cause situations where the planner tries to drive
trains through a balloon loop which is actually too small for them.

Eliminate a possible race condition in thread termination
In the unlikely event that the thread doesn't terminate fast enough after
setting the goal pointer, deleting it would send it a kill signal.
Remove this possibility by explicitly jouning the thread.

Allow an undetermined turnout at the beginning of a route
If route plans are regenerated when the train's last vehicle is on the
sensor following a turnout in a points-facing movement, the first track
of the lead route is a turnout with undetermined path. Route_changed
would then try to figure out which route the next allocation will occur
on and fail at the very beginning because advance_to_track refused to
use the undetermined turnout.

Penalize steps other than the fastest one
This encourages the planner to follow a single chain of steps and avoids
exploding the state tree too much. In the future this may be replaced by
different speed limits on diverging paths of turnouts (reducing the
ambiguity of fastest path) and an actual heuristic for potential wait time
(giving wait states an implicit penalty).

Avoid going past the end of route when a new one is set
Calling stop_at(0) causes the block allocator to immediately resume
allocating blocks. In certain circumstances this would cause an
allocation past the end of the route.

Improve accessory switching logic
The off command can be sent as soon as the current monitor indicates that
the solenoid is no longer drawing power. This allows giving multi-bit
accessories more time to accommodate quirks of the 74465 decoder.

Ensure that Timetable has necessary helper AIs
Since AIControl and TrainRouter don't emit statements to the state file,
they are not created automatically when loading the state. If they are
missing, the timetable won't be able to operate.

Improve graphics quality with some shaders and effects
Lighting is now carried out in linear colorspace and sRGB conversion
applied in postprocessing. All these effects will probably make the
program really slow on lower-end machines, but I'll fix that later.

Avoid segfault if an exception is thrown while loading
The Layout::add functions are called from object constructors. If an
exception is thrown inside them, the constructor will abort and the
object will be deleted. If that happens, it must be removed from the
Layout as well, or an invalid memory access will occur later.

Fix a bug with attaching ends in ExtendTool
This managed to avoid a segfault despite the null pointer dereference,
because the first thing Track::link_to does is check if the passed-in
reference is a track, and a null pointer isn't.

Move gauge to TrackAppearance
It may eventually be desirable to have multiple gauges in the same layout
(narrow-gauge trams together with a standard-gauge railway, for example),
and this is a necessary step towards that.

Simplify sequence handling
Instead of checking all sequence points when another train reserves a
block, only check the first one. The subsequent ones can be checked
when they become relevant.

Use a better cost estimator for the route planner
Total time is not good because it doesn't penalize waiting time for
earlier trains. This can cause the state tree to explode as later ones
start moving.
The sum of travel and wait times for each train works much better.

Fix lead route generation
Lead routes are now created up to the target, but not past it. This fixes
a problem where a route diverging from the train's reserved blocks caused
the router to attempt to create a lead route with gaps.

Use path coercion in track iterators
This enforces common traversal rules in all places. It also fixes a bug

Don't set pure_speed and accurate_position when halted
It may happen that the train has enough momentum to roll onto the next
sensor when halt occurs. Setting accurate_position in this case is
likely to cause a sensor missed emergency when halt is lifted, as the
physical locomotive takes a moment to get up to speed again.

Fix handling of uncertain bits in accessories
When the state of an accessory is first set, send commands for all
uncertain bits. Otherwise the accessory could remain unsynced or a
failure could go undetected.
Always clear the uncertain bit after setting an accessory, not only
when it failed.
