Update to NVTT 2.1.1

Reported by: leper Owned by: Itms
Priority: Should Have Milestone: Alpha 24
Component: Build & Packages Keywords:
Cc: historic_bruno Patch: ​Phab:D2475

Description (last modified by Itms)

NVTT 2.1.1 was released in 2017.

It would also be nice to possibly unbundle NVTT, since there aren't any patches that are actually needed (memory leak fixes, compression fixes, etc) anymore.

​https://github.com/na-Itms/0ad/tree/nvtt imports the new release, updates the needed patches, fixes the build of NVTT and 0 A.D.

Tested on Windows and Linux (build and mass-convert textures). Windows developers might get memory issues if they try to mass rebuild the textures, the --large-address-aware flags helps with that.

In 23973:

Fix logic issue with the DXT1a texture format, refs #4549.

Before the NVTT upgrade, no DXT1a file would have been properly decoded: they would all have been mistaken for a 8bpp greyscale due to a logic issue in our code, which would have triggered a crash. I did not notice the logic issue when performing the upgrade. As a result, decoding those files now fails silently: their alpha bit will be ignored and they will be handled as DXT1.

This patch fixes the logic and allows us to decode DXT1a properly, in accordance with the format specifications. Currently, we do not use this format.
