• Rev library is separated into various files, and has a `library.md` file to list all its functions. `library.md` can be generated/updated with a Python script, `generate_library_list.py`.

• XML script to merge shaders

• Rev now contains an `enums` folder that contains various custom enum files for rev and missing vanilla stuff, including rev/stageAPI callbacks

• add `idcheck.py` to check for used ids in entities2.xml
