This changeset is motivated by a simple concept - get rid of the MiniYaml.Clone and MiniYamlNode.Clone methods to avoid deep copying yaml trees during merging. MiniYaml becoming immutable allows the merge function to reuse existing yaml trees rather than cloning them, saving on memory and improving merge performance. On initial loading the YAML for all maps is processed, so this provides a small reduction in initial loading time.
The rest of the changeset is dealing with the change in the exposed API surface. Some With* helper methods are introduced to allow creating new YAML from existing YAML. Areas of code that generated small amounts of YAML are able to transition directly to the immutable model without too much ceremony. Some use cases are far less ergonomic even with these helper methods and so a MiniYamlBuilder is introduced to retain mutable creation functionality. This allows those areas to continue to use the old mutable structures. The main users are the update rules and linting capabilities.
The previous asynchronous approach did not work particularly well,
leading to large janks when switching to custom maps or opening the
mission browser.
This commit introduces two key changes:
* Rule loading for WorldActorInfo and PlayerActorInfo is made
synchronous, in preparation for the next commit which will
significantly optimize this path.
* The full ruleset loading, which is required for map validation,
is moved to the server-side and managed by a new ServerMapStatusCache.
The previous syntax check is expanded to include the ability to run
lint tests.
Both writing to perf.log frequently as well as GetTimestamp
aren't free and hurt performance particularly on slower systems
(which can have notably higher output to perf.log, further
amplifying the problem).
Therefore we make simulation perf logging opt-in.
Additionally, logging of the current tick and tick type
(local/net) is removed from debug.log, and some
remnant debug logging for kills and pips is removed
to keep performance-sensitive logging limited to
perf.log.
