With new binaries in place, master moves everything onto them while the
server keeps running (the dashboard's Live update, /liveupdate or SIGUSR2 to
master):
- database migrations of the new build first; a failure stops there
- UGC finishes the jobs it is running (queued rows stay pending), auth
restarts, chat hands its teams to master for the next chat server; master
starts the new processes and retries ones that don't come back
- once the new chat server is up (CHAT_SERVER_READY) every world connects at
once and sends its players again (LoginSessionNotify resync, no login logged)
- every world instance is replaced with an instance migration: public worlds
and private ones (same password) at once, properties after the old instance
saved and froze the property (MIGRATE_PREPARE: no building, claiming or
saving there any more), activity zones and character select once their
players left or after a wait; empty instances just stop, zones in
prestart_worlds get a new one first
- the dashboard restarts last and picks the status up again
Players land where they stood (position carried in CarriedPlayerState, also on
properties and Moon Base). Draining instances get no new players
(InstanceMigration::AcceptsNewPlayers) and show as "Moving players" in the
world list. The order lives in LiveUpdateMachine.h without master state and is
unit tested; master's glue is LiveUpdateCoordinator. Master itself is not
replaced. Message IDs are appended only.

WorldPackets now holds what a client sends a world server, one struct per
packet with Serialize/Deserialize: Validation, CharacterListRequest,
CharacterCreateRequest, CharacterLoginRequest, GameMessage,
CharacterDeleteRequest, CharacterRenameRequest, LevelLoadComplete,
PositionUpdate, MailPacket, RoutePacket, StringCheck, GeneralChatMessage,
HandleFunness, UIHelpTop5. WorldServer's switch became a dispatch map of
handlers (each overrides Handle in WorldServer.cpp, logic unchanged:
dashboard hooks, LoadPlayer, chat logging, migration checks, message
inspector capture all still run); a packet that does not deserialize is
logged and dropped. UserManager's create/delete/rename take the structs.
The answers are ClientPackets (the CLIENT service): LoadStaticZone,
CharacterListResponse, CharacterCreateResponse, CharacterRenameResponse,
DeleteCharacterResponse, TransferToWorld, ServerStates, CreateCharacter,
ChatModerationString, MakeGMResponse, HTTPMonitorInfoResponse and
DebugOutput, built at the call sites (world server, UserManager, slash
commands, dashboard actions, components, migration). The world -> chat
forward of a routed packet is ChatPackets::RoutedFromClient. All
WorldPackets::Send* functions, HTTPMonitorInfo and the ClientPackets parse
functions are gone. The architecture doc now states the file rule: a
packet lives in the file of the ServiceType in its header.
No wire change. Verified against frozen verbatim copies of the old code
(tests/dGameTests/dNetTests/Legacy/WorldPacketsLegacy.h): every response
is sent through the old function and the struct over grids of inputs
(all enum values, strings of every length class, IDs, >64 moderation
segments, big XML) and must match byte for byte; every request is read
by the old code and the struct and must give the same values; plus
golden bytes, round trips, truncation checks and a field width mutation
that made the tests fail. Only differences: malformed requests are
dropped instead of handled with partial values, and LevelLoadComplete now
reads the zone ID the client sends after it (lu_packets and captures show
the 1.10.64 client always sends it; DLU ignored it).

The NexusDashboard-parity dashboard (dDashboardServer) and everything built on it on the experimental branch:
accounts, characters, properties and moderation tools, permissions shared with in-game slash commands, economy
reports, World 3D and property 3D views with client scenery, scheduled events (features, vanity changes, live
events, announcements, restarts), vanity files and events, the CDClient browser, the message inspector with saved
captures, chat filter tools, community challenges, live ops, the AI moderator helper, and the server-side changes
they need.

* feat: convert character ids to 64 bits
remove all usages of the PERSISTENT bit with regards to storing of playerIDs on the server. the bit does not exist and was a phantom in the first place.
Tested that a full playthrough of ag, ns and gf was still doable. slash commands work, ugc works, friends works, ignore list works, properties work and have names, teaming works.
migrating an old mysql database works . need to test an old sqlite database
* fix sqlite migration
* remove nd specific column migration
* Database: Convert to proper namespace
* Database: Use base class and getter
* Database: Move files around
* Database: Add property Management query
Database: Move over user queries
Tested at gm 0 that pre-approved names are pre-approved, unapproved need moderator approval
deleting characters deletes the selcted one
refreshing the character page shows the last character you logged in as
tested all my characters show up when i login
tested that you can delete all 4 characters and the correct character is selected each time
tested renaming, approving names as gm0

* Database: Move property model queries
Untested. Need to test
placing a new model
moving existing one
removing ugc model
placing ugc model
moving ugc model(?)
changing privacy option variously
change description and name
approve property
can properly travel to property

thanks apple
Database: Fix compiler warnings
Overload destructor
Define specialty for time_t
Use string instead of string_view for temp empty string
