Server application builds are now platform independent

[twostars]

We are happy to announce that issues related to #472 have been resolved, and we are now able to build our server applications (AIServer, Ebenezer, Aujard, VersionManager, and ItemManager) on Windows and Linux-based operating systems. 🎊

The Client application (WarFare) and Tools (TblEditor, SkyViewer, UIE, etc) still require Windows 10+ and VS2022 to build. Further analysis and requirement documentation will need to be done before these are made cross-platform.

The Project Setup wiki has been updated for these build changes.

• Split IDE Setup into different sections for Windows (VS2022) and Linux (CLion)
• Split ODBC Setup into different sections for Windows and Linux
• Added a reference to docker/README.md in the Database Setup section

How does this impact you?
If you're building on Windows already, the build process in VS2022 remains the same (using our precreated solutions). Some minor naming/layout changes have been made to support cross-platform builds, but otherwise nothing really changes for you. This likely won't change until we eventually support cross-platform client & tool builds.

However, if you're interested in server development on a Linux-based system, you can now do so natively. For this, you can consult the Project Setup wiki for instructions on getting setup there, but it largely boils down to standard CMake - nothing is really non-standard here.

Tested systems:

• Ubuntu 24.04 (used by the GitHub workflows)
• Linux Mint 22.2 (which is effectively just Ubuntu)
• Arch Linux
• Windows 11

Tested compilers:

• clang 18, 19, 20
• gcc 13, 14, 15
• Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 & 2026

Please be sure to report any issues you might have getting things up and running on your setup. 🚀
