This reverts commit 9b25e1447a.
The first level of the game is very prominent and I'm not convinced that
this had sufficient debate on the original PR. Opinions on the original
PR seemed mixed to lukewarm.
I'm also not convinced that this is an improvement over the previous
E1M1 but that is just my personal opinion. If we want to make this
change then we can, but it should be discussed more first.
This include reduced vertexes and wadptr compression, in the case of MAP03 it's actually quite of a hell to compress the vertexes as the maps has alot of unnecessarily high amount of vertexes with little to no reasons, this also alters the gate texture in MAP03 to replace the DOORSTOP texture with SUPPORT2 texture instead as it could cause visible seams in vanilla.

Original author granted permission but does not wanted to be credited to further maintain the map, but its a good map to be on freedoom, I'll take the credits so and maintain it if needed.
Add debris and slightly 'open' the door in MAP01.
Add more depth to the bookshelves in MAP01, change banner to red in the secret weapon room, and add detail to marble tower.
The detailing on the way the airlock of the ship docks to the starport had one spot that was too steep for monsters to move over, trapping them inside.
The secret switch behind the pressure plate in the water is impossible to see in vanilla. The switch is now the skull wall itself.
Nothing else in FD's repetoire quite matches the deep, rich, earthy green-brown that these textures have. They're perfect for certain outdoor environments - except in Final Doom they're part of this really unnatural fade-in fade-out animation. This doesn't really matter in FD in isolation but if you try to load a Final Doom-compatible animation definition then the entire intended effect is ruined.
This commit also updates E1M1 to use these new textures.
Absolutely not a comprehensive fix, just randomly noticed these while checking out how the new switches look ingame.
Just some misused SHAWN3 and COMPUTE2 in 272 and 279, and BROWNWEL in 208.

Visplane Explorer blob of red in the northeast by the little screens in Visplane Explorer when all 3 doors in the final area are pre-opened. Simplified some of the lighting and also got rid of the upper floor trim in favour of using a flat there that was lined in a way that lined up with the big walls.

It was almost immediate the moment you opened the door on sector 385 from the east, not sure how we didn't catch that a lot earlier.
The main culprit - again - is the trim around the hex floor. I've gotten rid of that, but have not simplified or adjusted anything otherwise.
