Some fixes, and also improvements from other QS derivatives.
Most notably the best-effort as-complete-as-can-be support for external textures.

Fixes:

• #767 : Deactivate transparent surface optimization (r_drawwater_fast 0) in order to fix non-water (lava, slime...etc.) transparency issues on particular levels. This has no apparent performance impact so r_drawwater_fast 0 is the default until a better solution arises. Thanks @j4reporting for investigating this.
• #785: Dot crosshair enables player footstep sounds in Scourge of Armagon
• #787 : Added sv_fte_recursivehullckeck (default 1) to allow deactivation of FTE physics optimizations, for some levels with bad item placement (stuck in walls, falling through surfaces...etc.).

Improvements:

• #777 : MDL external skins support. (from QSS).
  This last addition brings vkQuake roughly to the level of QSS w.r.t external textures support for:
  • BSP levels
  • BSP models
  • MDL & MD5 models
• Other minor external textures support adjustments
• #784 : added DP_SV_NODRAWTOCLIENT and DP_SV_DRAWONLYTOCLIENT extensions. (by @NHogweed)
• Added more Crosshair choices.
• Added labels to Sliders (from QS). Added a Max FPS slider in particular with a more natural scale.
• Code cleanups.
• Library updates.

Please note: Windows 32bit binaries are not tested / not supported and are provided "as-is".

Windows binaries require the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable:
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x86.exe (32 bit)
https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe (64 bit)

Linux AppImage requires at least glibc 2.31. Check with ldd --version if in doubt (any recent Linux distribution should easily satisfy this). FUSE must be enabled and available (see https://docs.appimage.org/user-guide/troubleshooting/fuse.html)
