This definition was used to control the accessibility of some class members, changing protected qualifiers to public. This introduced unnecessary coupling between components and headers.
All conditional access specifiers have been set to public, which should not be a problem given the low number of classes that actually used affected members. Another albeit more complex solution could have been to use friend classes.
Join the license header with historical comments using a separator so IDEs can correctly parse the initial header.
Also use .gitattributes to ensure all files are LF.
The vast majority of this is fixing up `char *` that should be `const char *`
but a handful of other fixes, like potential buffer overflows that GCC
noticed, etc, were applied as well.
This removes `-Wno-write-strings` from CMakeLists.txt, as it is no longer
necessary, as there is no longer a flood of compiler warning spam when
building.
This does not fix all compiler warnings; there are still a handful, and they
are legitimate, but they can be dealt with in a future commit.
