This should simplify insertion of new textures at arbitrary drawing orders without reassigning palette indices (the latter would invalidate all old maps).
Sound() called when the instance is already running used to fail. Now, it always succeeds (also for script sync safety) but updates the sound level and pitch parameters. SoundAt has not been modified since it allows creation of multiple concurrent sound instance of the same effect without object context.
CastObjects returns an array now, so that further function calls can be issued on the created objects.

The color of object lights can now be changed. This includes the following changes:
- added light test scenario, based on DarkCastle, with some lights,
- new functions SetLightColor() and GetLightColor() with C4Script documentation,
- third drawing pass for rendering the light color, the drawing passes are now referenced by enum,
- the blending of light from multiple colored light sources works correctly with alpha blending,
- light color value affects the intensity of the light,
- alpha blending of the light depends on color value and lightness. This means that brighter (= more value) and lighter (= more whiteish) light will be preferred in blending over other lights,
- the object light color is rendered to the lower half of the fow light texture now,
- the shader accesses the brightness/direction information and color information correctly,

ExtractMaterial has been changed to be able to slurp in from the most distant horizontal position rather than the closest to the extraction top center.
Also speed up ExtractMaterial for the common case of no required horizontal shifts.
Useful e.g. for ingame scripting when you want to grant extra construction plans. Additionally, this kind of behavior is known from some other functions with per-player parameters like e.g. Sound().
CreateObject() now does not reposition an object after it has been created, but rather grows it around the center of said object.
To that end a new parameter has been added to DoCon() and SetCon() and the documentation has been updated.
Renamed CreateObject() to CreateObjectAbove() and replaced all occurrences in script files.
Added CreateObject(), the function may need a rewrite though, see comment in code.
