improve performance of namespace

[commy2]

When merged this pull request will:

• After 1.68 update, the performance cost of rendering local CBA namespaces is higher if they are drawType = "name"; than they are with drawType = "area";, so we can change this to have a very slight performance boost with the map opened (becomes apparent with very large number of namespaces).

• Map - FPS no local namespaces: 62-65 FPS

• Map - 50k local namespaces before this PR: 14-15 FPS

• Map - 50k local namespaces after this PR: 50 FPS

Additionally I now disable the simulation of the global namespaces via init eventhandler use simple objects for the global namespaces. (possible since they are OBJECT and not LOCATION).

• No map, no namespaces: 80 72-75 FPS (65 on map)
• 50k global namespaces before this PR: ~ 32 FPS (same on map)
• 50k global namespaces after this PR: 77 59 FPS (same on map)

Local namespaces are drawn (LOCATION) while the map is opened, while global namespaces are always simulated (OBJECT). This explains why local namespaces have (almost) no effect on FPS when the map is closed, while they have a bigger one if the map is shown.

• Code used to create 50k local namespaces:

for "_i" from 1 to 50000 do {
    private _newHash = call CBA_fnc_createNamespace;
    TEST pushBack _newHash;
};

• Code used to create 50k global namespaces:

for "_i" from 1 to 50000 do {
    private _newHash = true call CBA_fnc_createNamespace;
    TEST pushBack _newHash;
};

Additionally, ACRE is using setText on the local namespace for no apparent reason. I suggest that they stop doing that, since that cuts the FPS in half with 50k local namespaces (14->7 before this PR, 50->24 after this PR).

Going to be in ACRE 2.4.1.

Would createSimpleObject work?

[commy2]

80 -> 77, so yeah, it helps a lot. Not usable for local namespaces though, since simple objects are always transferred over network.

Also only possible since this version:

Since Arma 3 v1.67 simple objects support setVariable and getVariable

Had to also adjust CBA_fnc_allNamespaces. createSimpleObject uses ASL, not AGL and does not support type filters. Since we cannot use a type filter anymore, I also changed the position to make it unlikely that another object is mistakenly reported by the function as namespace.

[commy2]

typeOf still works, so we can use that to ensure it's a global namespace. Thanks @Dorbedo .
