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.
Before this change, cf_OpenLibrary() did something along the lines of
this:
char id[4];
fread(id, 4, 1, fp);
strncmp(id, "HOG2", 4);
If fread() finishes successfully, then that code is fine. However,
fread() might encounter an error or bump into the end of a file. In
those scenarios, the value of id will not necessarily be initialized
[1]. In other words, when fread() fails, strncmp() might operate on
uninitialized memory.
This change makes sure that the value of id only gets used if fread()
succeeds. Additionally, this change fixes a GCC warning about ignoring
fread()’s return value.

Before this change, cf_OpenLibrary() was inconsistent. Sometimes, it
would refer to the size of a HOG2 id using the literal 4. Other times it
would refer to the size of a HOG2 id using strlen(HOG_TAG_STR). There
was a good reason for this. Some compilers allow you to do this:
char id[strlen(HOG_TAG_STR)];
Other compilers throw an error if you try to do that [1].
This commit makes cf_OpenLibrary() more consistent. It makes it so that
cf_OpenLibrary() always uses the same constant expression when referring
to HOG_TAG_STR’s length.

Bump max cells to 32678 from 8000, allowing a much larger render distance for outdoor terrain. This commit also fixes MAX_HORIZON_PIECES, which may have been broken during a clang-format.
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.
