/**
* @file udp.h Basic functions to receive and send UDP packets.
*
*
* *** Requesting game information from a server ***
*
* This describes the on-the-wire structure of the request and reply
* packet of the NetworkGameInfo (see game.h) data.
*
* --- Points of attention ---
* - all > 1 byte integral values are written in little endian,
* unless specified otherwise.
* Thus, 0x01234567 would be sent as {0x67, 0x45, 0x23, 0x01}.
* - all sent strings are of variable length and terminated by a '\0'.
* Thus, the length of the strings is not sent.
* - years that are leap years in the 'days since X' to 'date' calculations:
* (year % 4 == 0) and ((year % 100 != 0) or (year % 400 == 0))
*
* --- Request ---
* Bytes: Description:
* 2 size of the whole packet, in this case 3
* 1 type of packet, in this case PACKET_UDP_CLIENT_FIND_SERVER (0)
* This packet would look like: { 0x03, 0x00, 0x00 }
*
* --- Reply ---
* Version: Bytes: Description:
* all 2 size of the whole packet
* all 1 type of packet, in this case PACKET_UDP_SERVER_RESPONSE (1)
* all 1 the version of this packet's structure
*
* 4+ 1 number of GRFs attached (n)
* 4+ n * 20 unique identifier for GRF files. Constists of:
* - one 4 byte variable with the GRF ID
* - 16 bytes (sent sequentially) for the MD5 checksum
* of the GRF
*
* 3+ 4 current game date in days since 1-1-0 (DMY)
* 3+ 4 game introduction date in days since 1-1-0 (DMY)
*
* 2+ 1 maximum number of companies allowed on the server
* 2+ 1 number of companies on the server
