Emit numeric tokens without quotes so the linker keeps colour arguments separate. Before: `"0.1" "0.1" "0.12" "0.5"` becomes `"0.10.10.120.5"` After: `0.1 0.1 0.12 0.5` This fixes `mouseExit` colour commands failing to clear menu hover borders.
Keep explicit empty text distinct from null text when dumping menu items. This fixes CD-key values overflowing their input boxes.

Summary
Relates to #626
Adds IW3 menu and menulist dumping. The original source cannot be reproduced exactly because macros and preprocessing are lost, but the output preserves runtime behaviour and can be relinked with the official tools.
Verification
ui_mp.ffmod.ffusing the officiallinker_pcNotes
Loading every
ui_mpmenu in one mod exceeds stock CoD4’s 128-menufile limit:CoD4x can raise the limit for testing:
The stock linker also cannot load four generated menu files because their paths exceed its 63-character path limit. It reports them as missing even though the files exist:
The linker still completes and writes the fastfile.
