Until [1] is resolved - one way or another - use a good known commit to build the PrBoom core.
Upstream core is relatively static, so we're not loosing much for pinning the version.

Make sure the function can be run outside of an install by creating needed folders.
Use download function rather than wget for wad download
De-Duplicate paths
* Freedoom is automatically downloaded
* Addon support via "lzdoom-addon" port launcher; when selected,
any .wad or .pk3 files in roms/ports/doom/addon will be
loaded alongside the selected wad. Example use: Brutal Doom.
Addon note: you may need to rename addon files alphanumerically if
a specific load order is required (e.g. Brutal Doom patch wads).
* Use OpenGL acceleration for Mesa (RPI3/4) & X11
* Use software rendering for other GLES targets (including
videocore)
Rationale for switching to lzdoom:
* zdoom is no longer maintained and doesn't build against GCC 8.
* lzdoom is actively maintained as a recommended GZDoom fork for legacy systems.
* lzdoom supports software rendering (for GLES2 targets).
* lzdoom supports OpenGL 2.1 rendering (for Mesa/X11 targets).
* Using a more up-to-date fork brings better compatibility with popular mods such as FreeDoom and Brutal Doom.
* lr-pboom does not support Hexen/Heretic/Strife/Chex, so isolate these
to zdoom's configuration instance.
* Omit Chex 1/2, as Chex 2 requires special arguments to load chex.wad, and
Chex 3 (freeware) includes remastered versions of the previous two episodes.
Requires the following wads:
* Hexen: hexen.wad
* Hexen Deathkings: hexen.wad & hexdd.wad
* Heretic: heretic.wad
Additionally, the scriptmodule will automatically rename supported wad
files to lowercase if necessary.
* rp_module_menus is no more - instead use rp_module_section with one of
- core (core packages)
- main (main packages - which will be installed by default in the image)
- opt (optional packages)
- exp (experimental packages)
- driver (driver packages)
- config (configuration packages / tools)
* The setup menu organises the data based on the above sections. more could be added in the future if needed. Packages (internally modules), can be added / configured / removed individually, or as entire sections.
* The setup menu will automatically detect if a binary is available to be installed. the nobin flag is no longer needed. modules that install directly from binary via aptInstall or via a prebuilt binary need to use an install_bin_ function instead of install_
* rp_module_section of type "config" will have the "gui_" function called first if it's available, otherwise a standard depends/sources/build/install/configure will be called
* configure is no longer used for "gui" configuration function - use gui_ instead. Had already started to move to this before, but now it is required.
adjust ports configs / symlinks to $configdir/ports and move old configs to new location (when calling addPort)
fix up some paths in a few experimental modules (wolf4sdl / sdlpop)
for things like doom / quake where there may be multiple engines, it makes switching available from runcommand etc. it would also allow adding additional launch options with say different wads / settings and so on. It also
simplifies the actual module scripting.
