Nothing in the server writes or reads a packet by hand any more, so the
helpers for doing so go:
- CBITSTREAM, CMSGHEADER, CINSTREAM, CINSTREAM_SKIP_HEADER, SEND_PACKET,
SEND_PACKET_BROADCAST and HEADER_SIZE leave dCommonVars.h;
- the free BitStreamUtils::WriteHeader (LUBitStream::WriteHeader writes the
same bytes) and the unused PacketUtils::SavePacket are deleted.
The last raw reads are replaced: WorldServer builds its input stream
directly, the master packet logs read the header with
LUBitStream::ReadHeader instead of peeking at packet->data[1] and [3], and
MessageInspector reads a sent game message's header with the new
NetGameMsg::ReadPacketHeader (the counterpart of WritePacket) instead of
memcmp/memcpy. packet->data[0] is still compared with RakNet's own
connection IDs.
The frozen oracles keep using the macros verbatim through the test-only
tests/dGameTests/LegacyPacketMacros.h; the HeaderSkip tests, which only
tested CINSTREAM_SKIP_HEADER, are removed.
docs/PacketArchitecture.md: "where we are" now describes the final state
and what still touches raw bytes (RakNet IDs, replica headers, behavior bit
streams), and a new section collects the known wire discrepancies found
during the conversion, with client addresses.

ChoiceBoxRespond, CinematicUpdate and PlayEmote to NetGameMsgs in
EffectsMessages.{h,cpp}. The high traffic messages get a constructor for their
required fields. UI messages own their AMF arguments. Every caller is switched,
the received messages are registered in GameMessageHandler's map, and the old
functions and switch cases are deleted. Handlers are copied verbatim.
No wire change and no change in recipients: functions that always broadcast
whatever address they were given are sent with Send(UNASSIGNED_SYSTEM_ADDRESS),
functions that only did SEND_PACKET use SendToClient. Quirks are kept and
documented on the structs (PlayAnimation's UTF-8 sized name, the always written
null terminator in BroadcastTextToChatbox, StartCelebrationEffect always
writing celebrationID, SetNameBillboardState having no payload).
Verified byte for byte against a frozen verbatim copy of the old functions over
an input grid, to one client and broadcast; received messages compared with the
old handlers' read sequences and every truncated payload rejected; hand
computed golden bytes; round trips; a deliberate width mutation made the tests
fail. The byte-equality helper gains a Broadcast mode for functions that
ignored their address.
