Reordered engine startup so that it can happen in busy mode. GL is inited very early on with GL_EarlyInit(). However, fonts and texture management are not available until GL_Init() can be called, and that can only be done after resources are available. In other words, most of engine startup busy drawing must be done manually with fonts loaded from real files at known locations (if any text is shown), and manually loaded graphics for a progress visualization.
Con_Error() was modified to work better from the worker thread.
