GZDoom 2.3.2

This is a bugfix release addressing a few critical issues in 2.3.1:

Critical issues fixed:

turbo stairs in Doom 2 were broken
potential crash with stair building in Hexen
The Heresiarch in Hexen did not call its death script
several Heretic weapons behaved incorrectly
The last two were caused by an incorrect script compiler check that failed to detect a bad function definition. This may induce a breaking change to some ZScript based user mods, too, which made the same mistake!

Other fixes:

fixed a problem with drawing decals with the software renderer
'stat music' could crash on OpenAL
fixed a rare crash condition with killing monsters from the console
the spiral for railgun shots wasn't drawn
switching from windowed to fullscreen could set bad screen sizes not covering the entire screen
fixed sight checks through portals

New features:

mods can define items globally for precaching in addition to per-map definitions
