* Automatically generate the isValid() Lua API function for handle types
If an ADE object's stored type has an isValid() member, ade_obj now registers an isValid function for it automatically. An explicit ADE_FUNC(isValid, ...) declared after the ADE_OBJ replaces the generated one, so types with special semantics (e.g. sound) keep their own. The 67 hand-written functions that merely delegated to the member are removed, and 26 types that previously exposed no isValid() gain one.

* Add ADE_OBJ_VALIDATOR for index-based Lua handles
Int-index handles (shipclass, weaponclass, team, etc.) can now declare their validity predicate with a single ADE_OBJ_VALIDATOR or ADE_OBJ_VALIDATOR_RANGE line after the ADE_OBJ. The registered validator drives the generated isValid() function and is also honored by ade_set_args when the mod table asks for nil instead of invalid objects, which previously never applied to these handles. The 19 hand-written range-check functions are replaced, and loadout_ship, default_primary, default_secondary, and support_rearm_pool_team gain isValid(). Add a validator to HudGauge while we're at it.
Also fully qualify the scripting namespace in LuaConvert.h so its templates can be instantiated from the unit tests.

This refactors FontManager to improve it in several ways:
1. Change all the dynamic memory management to use `new`, rather than mixing `new` and `vm_malloc`
2. Change the current font to use an index rather than a pointer
3. Take advantage of more C++11 features to avoid redundant lookups
4. Use case-insensitive name comparison
5. Avoid overflowing the `fnt->filename` field
6. Use `Warning` rather than `Error` in a non-critical error situation
1. a `hud-reset-color` SEXP operator, to complement the existing `hud-set-color` and set a gauge back to its configured color
2. `ConfigType` and `ObjectType` Lua virtvars which are essentially the built-in gauges' equivalents of `Name` for custom gauges
3. `getColor` and `setColor` Lua functions
Check the filenames used to initialize HUD gauges and mark the gauge as hi-res if the filename starts with 2_. Also add a script method to return this value.
Additionally, make accessor methods `const`.
add `getDirectiveLines` and `setPosition` script functions
properly error if trying to set a HUD gauge name
remove the unneeded `Directive_frames_loaded` variable
improve accuracy of SEXP help for HUD gauge operators
This adds an Antlr grammar for parsing argument lists instead of using a
hand written parser. This allows to write much more complicated syntax
constructs and have all the code being auto-generated. It will also
produce a much more correct parser instead of having all those hacks in
the hand-written one.
This also adds (in addition to supporting the previous syntax) support
for function types along with support for them in HTML and JSON output
formats.
The ANTLR generated parser is included in source form so that it is not
necessary to have an ANTLR installation around if you are not going to
change the grammar. Also includes the necessary runtime code from Antlr.
Fixes a minor bug that incorrectly draws Rectangles to a scripted HUD gauge. The third and fourht arguments needed to be width and heigth, not x2 and y2.
This adds the following functions to the scripted gauge API: drawCircle, drawRect, and drawLine. Also note that I created an additional function, for HUDGauge:renderCircle_unfilled, becuase the precedent shown by having two functions for `gr_unfilled_circle` and `gr_circle` and adding a fourth argument to `renderCircle` seemed to affect a lot of other functions.
The new gauge can be accessed by the scripting API with which a function
can be set which will be called when this gauge is rendered. This can be
used for exposing the HUD gauge positioning and RTT options to the
scripting API without a lot of work needed for the script writer.
There is currently only one rendering function implemented since this is
only a proof of concept.
This maintains the type information which can be used for enforce
const-correctness and also for implementing more advanced ways of
handling the type information.
As described in #1278, the current scripting system has issues with
handling non-trivial C++ types. Since fixing that deficiency is too much
work, especially since we are in a feature freeze, I decided to simply
enforce the usage of trivial types for scripting handles. Fortunately,
only two handles used non-trivial types so it was relatively easy to fix
those instances by dynamically allocating those and only storing the
pointers in the lua memory.
This fixes a bug in JAD-XA where the game would crash at the last boss.
Also, I noticed that the HudGauge handle used a copy of the hud gauge
rather than a pointer to the actual instance so I'm pretty sure that any
scripting changes to a custom HUD gauge simply didn't work before.
