This works on all OSes, making it far simpler for any developer
to jump in. Just install vcpkg, run "vcpkg install" in our root,
and you have all the dependencies.
This means we have RTL support again with ICU 58+. It makes use of:
- ICU for bidi-itemization
- ICU for script-itemization
- OpenTTD for style-itemization
- harfbuzz for shaping
This requires the use of WinHTTP (for Windows) or libcurl (for all
others except Emscripten). Emscripten does not support http(s)
calls currently.
On Linux it requires ca-certificates to be installed, so the HTTPS
certificate can be validated. It is really likely this is installed
on any modern machine, as most connections these days are HTTPS.
(On MacOS and Windows the certificate store is filled by default)
Reminder: in case the http(s):// connection cannot be established,
OpenTTD falls back to a custom TCP-based connection to fetch the
content from the content-service. Emscripten will always do this.
