## About The Pull Request
This is the most efficent way of doing it (I think), typeid checking is
actually worse (it's 55 btw). I've also added alists to all the find
reference unit tests.
This is a good step in making these things actually work in our
codebase. The next thing to look into will be VV (or SDQL though I
suspect that's just a matter of being able to use a stable version)
which is gonna require playing around with IS_NORMAL_LIST's uses a good
bit
## About The Pull Request
### Reftracking BS
Alllright so reftracking is slow, really really slow.
That's a problem for me, both because I want it to be fast so I can more
efficiently torture players by running it on live, but also because it
impedes both local and CI runs.
So I've set out to micro optimize the DoSearchVar proc, one of the
hottest in the game.
I've done this in a few different ways.
#### The simple shit
Removing redundant proc args
Yeeting assoc arg setting (extra cost)
Moving if statements around to prioritize the more common case
Ignoring empty lists.
#### The not simple shit
Throwing our snowflake list checking into the sun
(Background, byond has some special lists that cannot be accessed like
an assoc list, trying to will lead to runtimes)
The way we handle this involves inspecting their ref string, and it eats
a LOT of time.
Faster then to mark all the lists we know are special by var name, and
then use try/catch to detect and silence anything that sneaks through
(this is on the order of like 1/3 per run, kinda curious what they are
tbh)
Thanks to MSO for the idea for this btw.
Removes the vars and logic that tied ref searching to clients.
It's not how this code is used, and it slows everything else down for
really no reason
Added support for handing in a known "hanging reference" count, and then
searching for that.
This lets us early exit the ref search if we find everything we were
looking for, which is REALLY powerful, and why I asked for refcount() in
the first place.

## Why It's Good For The Game
All this combined speeds up refsearching massively, on the order of
hundreds of seconds, and makes it far less time consuming for both CI
and running on live.
I'll be bullying some servers semi soon, want to see what I can cut out.
## About The Pull Request
LSP supports it, let's GOOOOOO
I've removed the 515 tests since they're stable, alongside the libcall
wrapper. left the rustgcall wrapper cause yaknow memes
Just removed all the 515 and 514 particular define wrappers. gaming
## Changelog
🆑
server: Minimum compile version has been bumped to 515. clients still
support 514 but we're gonna start using 515 restricted features for
serverside now.

Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+
Few simple changes and one very painful one.
Let's start with the easy:
* puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515
* Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since
src is now invalid there.
* Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache
directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't
check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in
actual directory not the byond root.
* Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since
final is a new keyword
And the very painful change:
`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with
new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros.
`PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is
not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals
it would be nice validation.
This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative.
If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority
was done with regex replace.
@tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

* Fixes some more holes in the ref tracker
The reference tracker was failing to check null keyed assoc list entries, along with being unable to check both
lists in a list(list() = list()) pair
This resolves that, and adds some new logic to the unit test to check for this sort of thing
* Seperates the ref tracking unit test into 6 subtasks as requested
* Ref Tracking: Revengance
Fixes reference tracking ignoring self references due to a poorly thought out tick checking system.
Fixes reference tracking ignoring the contents of assoc lists
Makes the reference tracking printouts actually describe what list the ref is in, rather then just saying "list"
Adds REFERENCE_TRACKING_DEBUG, a define which toggles tracking info for the ref tracking procs, which allows for
oversight on how the proc is working
Allows for direct calls of qdel_and_find_ref_if_fail(), makes it use ref rather then REF(), fixing it breaking
for mobs. (Ditto for the qdel hint which does the same thing)
Moves REAGENTS_TESTING out of the reftracking define block
Makes unit tests define REFERENCE_TRACKING, REFERENCE_TRACKING_DEBUG, and FIND_REF_NO_CHECK_TICK
Adds a unit test that sanity checks the reference finder proc
