Add preprocessor features to make scripting much more efficient

Woolfyy Resident

Use cases :

make debugging easier for scripters structuring correctly their code with flags to enable / disable testing portions of code in spite of doing it manually with comments or copy / paste
configure scripts to be dynamically optimized for a build configuration, though relying on one main script that scripters can upgrade with time and as they get better skilled

etc.

It is basically a free and open source feature from the C/C++ boost library https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_59_0/libs/preprocessor/doc/index.html (already existing into the Firestorm viewer).

Anyway it is a feature needed by any serious scripter who wants to maintain code efficiently in the long term BTW making more efficient code also means using less cpu on LL servers.

it's a very useful Firestorm feature; but the way it works when compiling and looking for and fixing syntax errors is a real pain. I wouldhope that can be substantially improved.
