* Address feedback
1. Modify `ship_get_subsys_for_submodel` to use the subsystem indexer. This changes the operation from O(n) to O(1) and also allows the function to work with turret gun barrels.
2. Add an `isValid` check to `ParticleSource::finishCreation` to prevent unknown state from being accessed if the source is not valid.
3. Tweak `EffectHostTurret` and make sure it works for fighter beams.
4. Prevent `createOnTurret` from running on submodels that are not turrets.
* Add curve to control the duration of a particle source
* Also add fractional Life Left curve input for sources
* Actually register new particle curve output
* Add parent / host input curves
* reorder some includes to allow particles access to ship.h
* Allow modular_curves to deal with functions returning optionals
* Add convenience function to return an optional from an objp and an instance type
* Add a bunch of particle curve inputs
* Fix internal linkage warning
* Add hitpoint and shield fraction (albeit limited to ships)
* Another particle fix for standalones
Fix more standalone crashes from particles by "allowing the code to create particles, and just silently quit if in standalone. I.e., accept an invalid effect handle if in standalone and that'll just quit out the source on its first frame of processing." Thanks to @Bmagnu for the fix! Putting here to allow taylor and chief to more easily test.

This refactors the object_h struct to store objects as indexes rather than pointers. This is a prerequisite for making the collection of objects dynamic in the future. See also #6100.
Follow-up to #5800 and #5829.
This system adds the code necessary for letting content creators specify
complex events by specifying a simple, program-like sequence of
operations that will be executed by the engine when a certain event is
triggered.
This allows specifying how many times per second an effect should be
triggered for a particle source instead of triggering the effect every
frame. This will allow modders to achieve more consistent particle
effects regardless of FPS.
Previously, the source orientation was always aligned to the world so it
couldn't adapt to a weapon that changes direction. This fixes that by
introducing a "relative" mode for source orientations that is enabled by
default and disabled if the direction is set explicitly.
