IMPLEMENT COMBINE SCREENS AND CUT WIPE SCREEN EFFECT

Reduce memory use for doom
Control flag "DISABLE_WIPES" and "COMBINE_SCREENS" are define in doomdef.h.
DISABLE_WIPES will cut wipe screen effect, COMBINE_SCREENS will discard screen buffer #1、#2、#3.
V_Init() function make four screen buffers pointer to same address(address of screen buffer #0) In v_video.c.
DOOMHEAP are replaced by static array and it size are controled by DOOM_HEAP_SIZE, both are in i_system.c.
Screen buffers are replaced by static array and I_AllocLow will return screen buffers directly in i_system.c.
If cut wipe screen effect, in f_wipe.c only wipe_StartScreen()、wipe_EndScreen()、wipe_ScreenWipe() will remain,
wipe_ScreenWipe() only copy data from screen buffer #3 to screen buffer #0 directly.
