Engine Request - Chocolate Doom #33

GZDoom is the modern port of choice for Id Tech 1 (Doom etc) but for those who would like a more vanilla experience, Chocolate Doom might be a nice alternative.

Games: Ultimate Doom: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2280/ Doom 2: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2300/ Heretic: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2390/ Hexen: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2360/ Hexen: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2370/ Strife is also supported but the version on Steam is native and actually is a fork of Chocolate.

The issue here is mostly: how do we want to allow users to select the version of the engine they actually want to test/play. I am not sure what is the most user-friendly way of handling this, but it sits in back of my head (I will work on this more post 0.1.0 release). Essentially it is very similar to other feature requests, such as #32

As for having vanilla experience - it's not the same as having native client, but these games work really, really well through Boxtron already ;)

Chocolate doom is a native client on linux, gameplay is also more accurate with chocolate doom. I would love to see this as the default
