only init optional system's thread pools on use

temporarily disable glows
fix RETAIL not actually being defined
fix compile issues with _RETAIL
fix DirectX math functions not defined in debug assert
exclude UpdatePresentStats from dx device frame loop
tighter timings for sound mixer, enabling 0 mixahead
default to 64 stdio read on PC
put distributed files and separate dev script in tree
