Removed some implemented/obsolete TODOs

* check for places that use char or unsigned char for boolean values, and change those to bool. Even nicer would be to change it to use enum types whose value names express the intention (SearchOptions.RECURSIVE, GraphicsScaleOptions.2X, etc), but just going for bool will already be a big improvement.

* Change #define lists into enums

* Rearrange the files under engines/sci: I.e. get rid of include/ subdir (just move its contents to engines/sci, at some point at least). Some source files should also be renamed for clarity.

* Not specific to SCI, but: Replace "struct tm" in common/system.h (and places that implement/use it) by a custom struct, which would be a (partial) clone of struct tm, something like Common::OSystem::Time. That way, we wouldn't have to use <time.h> anymore anywhere.

* const correctness in engines/sci/engine/savegame.c (this is a generated file, so change the source or generator, whatever is necessary)
* change the many nice existing function documentation comments to use doxygen syntax

* Check old FreeSCI-scummvm branch / repos by Jordi for change that could be salvaged, e.g. the files <code>sfx/device/scumm-midi.cpp</code> and <code>sfx/softseq/scumm-adlib.cpp</code>, or the modifications to the SCI debugger to use the ScummVM console, and stuff.

* make the SCI tools compilable (to avoid bitrot, while we change code that they depend on), and finally usable again.

* Get rid of the CFSML system for savegames. It is arcane (people don't understand it, changes to the savegame format are difficult, it requires perl to update the source code, etc.). Instead, use for example a system like we use in SCUMM, but in an improved version, see [https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=b434588f0807300420w76c781c5maefabbc04e5533ff%40mail.gmail.com&forum_name=scummvm-devel the discussion on scummvm-devel].
* rename the sfx/ dir to sound/ or audio/ (it doesn't just deal with "sound effects).
