This should fix the comparisons with $IF and VERSION. A few things of note here, which might affect future version labeling:
This expects to find version numbers which follow our current style -- ##.##.## -- 3 numbers, separated by periods.
Adding in alphabetic characters will basically get ignored, and versions with less than 3 values will generate FALSE results in all comparisons.
The current GLUT initialization logic is flawed because it allows the
QB64 code portion of the program to start on a separate thread at the
same time that the GLUT code is starting. This results in a race where
some commands won't work for a brief period at the beginning of the
program (with "won't work" being very inconsistent, some return invalid
values, some have a chance at seg faulting).
The same issue also leads to us adding many `while (!window_exists)`
checks in an attempt to solve this race for some of the commands.
Unfortunately this solution is very inconsistently applied leading to
some deadlock situations, and really it's a silly solution when this
race is entirely our creation anyway.
To fix this, the logic was changed such that we perform all of the GLUT
initialization besides calling `glutMainLoop()` before we ever start the
thread that runs the actual QB64 code. By doing it this way we ensure
that the GLUT initialization has already taken place before the code
runs and thus the race is gone.
Things get a bit more interesting with $SCREENHIDE, because that simply
delays the execution of the GLUT initialization indefinitely until
_ScreenShow is done. This was previously very buggy since some commands
rely on FreeGLUT being up and will simply hang the entire program if
run. Other commands have logic to catch this and simply return zero.
The above issue is solved with the `NEEDS_GLUT()` and `OPTIONAL_GLUT()`
macros. Both of them simply check if the GLUT initialization has taken
place and exit the current function if it has not. The difference
between the two is that `NEEDS_GLUT()` throws an 'illegal function call'
error while `OPTIONAL_GLUT()` simply exits with no error. The choice of
behavior of each function was based upon its previous behavior - if it
checked `screen_hide` and exited with no error previously, then
`OPTIONAL_GLUT()` was used. If it deadlocked or similar then
`NEEDS_GLUT()` was used (so instead of deadlocking, it now produces an
error). In this way, programs can now never get stuck due to the use of
`$SCREENHIDE` and all the commands have consistent behavior that can be
relied upon.

Fonts 9, 15, and 17 can *only* be used in SCREEN 0. Attempting to use them in graphic screens results in a seg fault and an instant program crash on Windows. This is definitely the most undesirable of behaviors for a program, and can easily be caught and dealt with just by tossing a simple "Illegal Function Call" error for the issue.
Registering a warning function keeps FreeGLUT from writing warnings to
the console (which is not desirable since it conflicts with our own
console output).
This effectively adds Http support to QB64-PE via adding $Unstable:Http
which will trigger building with DEP_HTTP, which enables Http support in
libqb.
Modifies libqb.cpp to add support for opening HTTP connections via
_OPENCLIENT(). This makes use of the libqb_http API in ./libqb, which is
backed by libcurl.
This also includes a bit of refactoring for some of the code that
required additions. I replaced a few of the integer values with enums,
and added a new entry for Http and then implemented it in all the
necessary locations. In addition to `_OPENCLIENT()`, there is also
support for using HTTP connections with `EOF()`, `LOF()`, `GET #`
(variable and fixed length), and `CLOSE`.
I additionally fixed an issue of parsing the colon parts of the
`_OPENCLIENT()` parameter, where having too many colons would cause the
program to crash. Since we only allow so many parts to begin with it I
simply limited the max number of parts it will split to 10.

This adds the libqb_http API, which is designed to support HTTP and
HTTPS usage from QB64-PE source.
The design consists of a single thread which services all the HTTP(s)
connections. There are then various libqb_http APIs exposed that allow
interacting with this thread to create a new connection, query
connection status, read data, or close the connection.
Internally the thread makes use of the curl_multi interface to allow a
single thread to service multiple HTTP(s) connections in parallel. This
means you can _OPENCLIENT() multiple HTTP connection in a row and all of
them will be serviced at the same time in whatever order data is
available.
HTTP is optional and selected via a Makefile setting. A stub is swapped
in if HTTP support is not used, which avoids need to add another build
flag to libqb.cpp.
The 'New Dialogs' menu option was renamed to 'GUI Dialogs' to better
explain what it does. Additionally the setting of which dialogs to use
is saved to the config.ini file so that it presists across multiple runs
of QB64-PE.
