The data will be transmitted as the length followed by the serialized data. This allows the command
data to be different for every command type in the future.
This is using a non-intrusive type-traits like templated system, which
allows compile-time validation that the command table and the command
enum match up.
Allow more direct player-initiated interaction for Game Scripts, by letting the GS put push-buttons on storybook pages. These buttons can either trigger an immediate event, or require the player to first select a tile on the map, or a vehicle.
Additionally this reworks how the storybook pages are layouted and rendered, to allow for slightly more complex layouts, and maybe speeding drawing up a bit.

* Feature: GS method to retire an engine early for a specific company
This switch has been a pain for years. Often disabling broke
compilation, as no developer compiles OpenTTD without, neither do
any of our official binaries.
Additionaly, it has grown so hugely in our codebase, that it
clearly shows that the current solution was a poor one. 350+
instances of "#ifdef ENABLE_NETWORK" were in the code, of which
only ~30 in the networking code itself. The rest were all around
the code to do the right thing, from GUI to NewGRF.
A more proper solution would be to stub all the functions, and
make sure the rest of the code can simply assume network is
available. This was also partially done, and most variables were
correct if networking was disabled. Despite that, often the #ifdefs
were still used.
With the recent removal of DOS, there is also no platform anymore
which we support where networking isn't working out-of-the-box.
All in all, it is time to remove the ENABLE_NETWORK switch. No
replacement is planned, but if you feel we really need this option,
we welcome any Pull Request which implements this in a way that
doesn't crawl through the code like this diff shows we used to.
* Change: Replace checkbox in livery selection window with Default option in drop down selection.
This reduces clutter in the UI and allows for primary/secondary colours to independently follow the default scheme if desired.
* Feature: Add vehicle group liveries.
