Feature #1375
XG THING anchors for reference purposes
100%
Description
The idea is to be able to aquire references
(plane/sector only) based on if there is at least one
of a certain THING in a sector.
So that for example all sectors with at least one
POSSESED can be referenced.
This feature could be very useful to mod makers. Plus
it would allow another method of "tagging" by allowing
them to create new THINGs to act as anchors.
Sometimes this would be easier than using the existing
tag or XG's Act Tag.

Implemented for 1.9.0
The following new references have been added:
lpref_thing_exist_floors
lpref_thing_exist_ceilings
lpref_thing_noexist_floors
lpref_thing_noexist_ceilings
Use the above to reference planes which belong to sector(s)
that have: at least one, or no things of a certain type (eg
POSSESSED) within them.
The type is set using either the Thing type or Ap9 params.

This should be quite straightforward to implement. There is
already a loop in XL_TraversePlanes that iterates through all
sectors.
There one could check each sector's things for a thing of the
referenced type.
