OpenTTD 13.0 beta1

Are you spooked? We are too with this spooky release date, even if nothing in OpenTTD itself is spooky. Luckily, I can offer you the first testing release of the 13.X release series. We collected whatever we could find on the cutting room floor to get you a Halloween release. Some of the highlights of this release include:

• Build NewGRF objects over an era with click-and-drag.
• Wider rivers on map generation.
• Improved handling of HiDPI and mixed-DPI screens.
• Some more GUI improvements like a cleaned up finance window.
• Many bug fixes (over 50 of them), tweaks, changes, and other additions.

As ever, see the changelog for further details.
