A design choice very early in FSO's scripting development established that invalid results return invalid objects. By using a game_settings.tbl flag, this allows invalid results to return nil instead.

One of the features requested in #5378 (specifically the one requested in #5274), this adds a new "$Contrails use absolute speed:" option to game_settings.tbl, which makes the `ct_below_limit()` function check `objp->phys_info.speed` instead of `objp->phys_info.fspeed`. This allows contrails to appear when moving in a direction other than forwards.
* Add Game Option to refresh selected weapon in loadout
This PR adds an option to always ensure the viewed weapon is one that can actually be on the selected ship when first clicking on the weapon loadout.
If you go to the loadout in the briefing and view the weapons on your ship, then go and change your ship class and go back to the weapon loadout screen, you will see that the weapon shown in the window on the right side is from your very first viewing before you changed your ship class. Displaying a weapon not allowed on a ship by default can be confusing to players, especially on mods like FotG where most ships have unique weapons.
The player can still of course click on a non-allowed weapon to view it, but with this PR the player will be initially shown a selected weapon that is allowed on the ship when opening the loadout editor.
Tested and works as expected.
* update order to be near weapon bools
Subsystem hitpoints are calculated as a percentage of the ship's hull strength as they are parsed. If a modular table modifies the ship's hull strength, the subsystems are not modified at the same time. This can lead to unreasonably large or small subsystem hitpoint values, as recently seen in the 1.3.0 version of Cardinal Spear.
This PR adds an option to defer hitpoint calculation until after parsing so that the subsystem is a percentage of the correct hull strength. Since this may affect the balance of existing mods, it is off by default unless the build targets 24.0 or later.
This also removes the long-unused `hull_percentage_of_hits` check and adds several log statements for significant options in game_settings.tbl.
The default movie subtitle font is font01.vf, but mods with custom font tables might not use this font. So this changes the handling slightly so that the movie player will use whatever the first available font is.
Follow-up to #1523. Fixes a sometimes spurious warning in mod initialization.
The hud-set-coords SEXP has always used exact pixels, without regard for the current screen resolution. This adds a similar scaling mechanism as is used for show-subtitle.
Fixes#5525.

* missing bracket from merge conflict resolution
* address feedback
To avoid changing behavior of existing mods, simulate the retail behavior unless the bugfix is explicitly activated. The buggy retail behavior is to evaluate a chained event, not skip it, if the event is repeating, regardless of whether the repeat timestamp has elapsed.
* Mod Table Settings for Arc Widths
There is currently a way to set the color of EMP and Damage Arcs in game_settings.tbl, but no way to change the width.
This PR adds options useful to modders to set the width and how it is calculated. Looking over the code and asking around, I developed these exposed options.
The options also allow modders to control the arc widths in multiple ways. For example, if you want to set a constant width for all ships you would set the `+Do Not Use Width Multiplier Over Radius:` to something huge, and if you wanted no arcs ever you would set the `+Width Default:` to 0.
They are tested and work as expected.
* clang
* fix copy paste error from #2053
* tab cleanup
* whitespace cleanup 2
* same for type ship and damage
* Add Option to allow weapons that hit player to place per-weapon sound
Weapons that lasers or missiles that hit the player also play a hard coded sound, which is not ideal when trying to give valuable audio feedback to player.
This PR allows modders to stop the behavior and have the weapon class impact sound specified in the weapons table play instead of the hard coded sounds.
Tested and works as expected.
* add per class shockwave and weapon sounds
* naming update
1. Since Discord is both a common noun and a proper noun, capitalize it here to clarify what it refers to.
2. Capitalize the first letter of the Hotkey internal variable to follow the global variable convention. And might as well clarify, while we're at it, that it hides hidden ships, not all ships.
