      Update ICNS icon for macOS · e715b2f0
      lachwright authored
      Replaced some of the lower resolution variants with some smoother downscales. The 16x16 one is even Sonic's 1-up icon from the game!

      Introducing Marathon Run. (I was going to call it Marathon Mode, but NiGHTS Mode being right next to it on the menu looked terrible.)
      
      Basically a dedicated Record Attack-like experience for speedrunning the game as a continuous chunk rather than ILs. Has several quality of life features.
      
      Benefits include:
      * An unambiguous real-time bar across the bottom of the screen, always displaying the current time, ticking up until you reach the ending.
      * Disable the console (pausing is still allowed, but the timer will still increment).
      * Automatically skip intermissions as if you're holding down the spin button.
      * Show centiseconds on HUD automatically, like record attack.
      * "Live Event Backups" - a category of run fit for major events like GDQ, where recovery from crashes or chokes makes for better entertainment. Essentially a modified SP savefile, down to using the same basic functions, but has its own filename and tweaked internal layout.
      * "spmarathon_start" MainCfg block parameter and "marathonnext" mapheader parameter, allowing for a customised flow (makes this fit for purpose for an eventual SUGOI port).
      * Disabling inter-level custom cutscenes by default with a menu option to toggle this (won't show up if the mod doesn't *have* any custom cutscenes), although either way ending cutscenes (vanilla or custom) remain intact since is time is called before them.
      * Won't show up if you have a mod that consists of only one level (determined by spmarathon_start's nextlevel; this won't trip if you manually set its marathonnext).
      * Unconditional gratitude on the evaluation screen, instead of a negging "Try again..." if you didn't get all the emeralds (which you may not have been aiming for).
      * Gorgeous new menu (no new assets required, unless you wanna give it a header later).
      
      Changes which were required for the above but affect other areas of the game include:
      * "useBlackRock" MainCFG block parameter, which can be used to disable the presence of the Black Rock or Egg Rock in both the Evaluation screen and the Marathon Run menu (for total conversions with different stories).
      * Disabling Continues in NiGHTS mode, to match the most common singleplayer experience post 2.2.4's release (is reverted if useContinues is set to true).
      * Hiding the exitmove "powerup" outside of multiplayer. (Okay, this isn't really related, I just saw this bug in action a lot while doing test runs and got annoyed enough to fix it here.)
      * The ability to use V_DrawPromptBack (in hardcode only at the moment, but) to draw in terms of pixels rather than rows of text, by providing negative instead of positive inputs).
      * A refactoring of redundant game saves smattered across the ending, credits, and evaluation - in addition to saving the game slightly earlier.
      * Minor m_menu.c touchups and refactorings here and there.
      
      Built using feedback from the official server's #speedruns channel, among other places.
