4d6a8bc537 515 Compatibility (#71161)
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`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with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.

6ea8b19eb9 Add disabling footstep sounds and parallax to the lag switch panel (#62999)
At the last Toolbox Tournament, @MrStonedOne pointed out some big performance consumers. Some are disablable through easy means, but others were not. This adds two easy ones to the mix.

0d1ef29662 Drastic Lag Mitigation Subsystem: SSlag_switch (#59717)
Requested by oranges and inspired by the upcoming event. A new subsyetem, non-processing (for now), aimed at providing some toggle switches that can be flipped as a last ditch effort to save some CPU cycles by sacrificing some non-critical mechanics. Below you can see each individual toggle.

Surely there are more opportunities for toggles I missed, but adding new ones is not very difficult at all.
Why It's Good For The Game

Better performance during extreme pop, I hope.
Changelog

cl
code: Introduces the Lag Switch subsystem for when a smoother experience is worth trading a few bells and whistles for. Performance enhancement measures can be togged by admins with the Show Lag Switches admin verb or enabled automatically at a pop amount set via config.
config: Added a new config var: number/auto_lag_switch_pop
