Normalize code style to match established conventions

An assistant-written stretch of code had drifted from the conventions the
older hand-written files establish. Sweeps the whole of src/ back into line.

Systematic:
- @returns -> @return (163 occurrences, 84 files). Concentrated in ui/ and
  rpg/cutscene/; the rest of the tree already used @return 646 times.
- Lowercase "null" -> "NULL" in assert/error message strings (170
  occurrences, 28 files), matching the dominant 441-use spelling. Covers
  "cannot be null", "must not be null" and adjectival uses.

Localized:
- sort.c: drop a stray #include <stdlib.h> that sat *above* the copyright
  header, leaving it the only file in the repo without a leading header
  block. Also drops the same redundant include from random.c and npcturn.c
  (dusk.h already pulls in stdlib.h).
- Convert 7 files' license headers from // lines to the /** */ block form.
- cutscenesystem.c: memset -> memoryZero, matching the identical call ~20
  lines further down and the rest of the codebase.
- Struct tags suffixed _t -> _s: threadlock_t -> threadmutex_s (which also
  makes the tag match its typedef) and chunkpos_t -> chunkpos_s.
- Convert 20 inline /* */ block comments to // across the mesh builders,
  assetfile.c and assetlocaleloader.c.
- Pointer truthiness if(!ptr) -> if(ptr == NULL) in 16 places, matching the
  267 existing explicit comparisons. Boolean !x checks are left alone.
- entityanim.h: drop a JSDoc-style type annotation from an @return.
- Document easing.h's 16 undeclared easing functions and
  assetjsonloader.h's 3 loader callbacks.

No behavioral change. Builds clean with no new warnings; ctest shows the
same 6 pre-existing failures as HEAD, verified against a pristine worktree.
