Spline movement controls movements of server-side controlled units (monster movement, taxi movement, etc).
Proper implementation of effects such as charge, jump, cyclic movement will rely on it.
However, need improve our states system before.
Technical changes:
* Added linear, catmullrom and bezier3 splines which based on client's algorthims. They can be reused for proper transport position interpolation.
* Precission increased. There are no more position desync issues since client's position calculation formulas used.
* Now possible to move by paths with multiple points, send whole path to client.

Original port for Trinity (ref #4629) Chaplain and Venugh
With the following incremental fixes during my review:
- Restore flightmaster end grid pre-loading
- Fix uninitialized Creature::m_path_id
- Add missing trinity_string entries for .movegens command
- Fix a bug in WaypointMovementGenerator that would trigger unexpected pausing at waypoints for various amounts of time
Known issues:
- Errors like WaypointMovementGenerator::LoadPath creature XXX (Entry: YYYYY GUID: ZZZZZZ) doesn't have waypoint path id: 0.
This is caused by bad DB data. This commit didn't "break" it.
Do not forget to re-run CMake before compiling.
- Added a couple of timer outputs
- Improved code consistency between loading functions
- Progess bars should look and behave similar on all OS now (sLog.outString() is not needed anymore to replace the progress bar in log files)
