* 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.

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.
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.
When returning objects, be sure to use `ade_set_object_with_breed`, per the documentation on that function. This ensures that all relevant subclass information can be used.
Also fix the return value of streaminganim's isValid() function.
These were all cases where the parameter was the new value when setting
a variable. The variables should always be initialized when that code is
reached but it is still better to check the pointers before using them.
These were found by @niffiwan.
This will automatically call the destructor of a type of Lua calls the
garbage collector for an object of that type. This is the last step
towards fully supporting non-trivial objects in the Lua API and all
previous workarounds have been removed.
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.
