Goober5000andClaude Opus 5 0dcee2a6be Add scripting access for per-guarder guard ranges (#7794)
Follow-up to #7606.  Restore the MaxGuardRadius property, restore the ability to set specific ranges using set-guard-range, and add scripting functions for setting the specific ranges.

Fixes #7756

Goober5000andClaude Opus 4.8 659cb18e07 Allow giveOrder to specify dockpoints for ORDER_DOCK
The giveOrder scripting function now accepts optional DockerPoint and
DockeePoint arguments for ORDER_DOCK, each given as a dockpoint name or
one-based index (matching the setDocked convention).  DockerPoint refers
to a dockpoint on the ordering ship and DockeePoint to one on the target.

If only one point is specified, a compatible point is chosen automatically
on the other ship using the same dock-type precedence as the existing
automatic dockpoint negotiation.  When neither is specified, behavior is
unchanged.

Fixes #7119

Goober5000 a34788ef1a a few parsing and infrastructure upgrades
- A parse flag to indicate when the mission is being parsed, and a new `ship_class_index()` accessor in the ship registry, both currently unused
- Make the ship registry more robust, especially in FRED: properly update it when ships are renamed or deleted

Goober5000andClaude Fable 5 d40fcd16c0 fix player subsystem targeting from sexps and scripting
Fix a regression from #7393: `last_targeted_subobject` must be updated when the player's target and target subsystem are changed, or the subsystem will be retargeted due to `hud_target_change_check`.

Also fix related issues:
- the `ship.Target` and `ship.TargetSubsystem` scripting setters now use the standard `set_target_objnum` function and also correctly handle the new target subsystem
- fix an indexing error in `order.TargetSubsystem`

wookieejedi 15e7528d41 Expose new Max Guard Range to scripting (#7451)
Follow-up to #7251, which added `set-guard-range`
This PR exposes that value to scripting, so scripters do not have to use the more expensive `runSEXP` to use it.

The value is initialized as -1 (`max_guard_radius = -1.0f;` line 7913 in ship.cpp), hence the default value for the script is -1.

Goober5000 33d5f7ed3c refactor ship anchors
Testing in FotG exposed a bug that dates back to retail.  During mission parsing, arrival and departure anchors were represented by indexes into `Parse_names`.  After parsing, they were converted to ship indexes -- but only in FRED.  Since some functions are shared between FRED and FS2, this can produce inconsistent results, which can be hard to detect since parse indexes and ship indexes are usually the same.

This refactors arrival and departure anchors to be represented by ship registry indexes in all cases.  It also adds conversion functions for the benefit of FRED and QtFRED since those dialogs were designed with ship indexes in mind.

Goober5000 1b75fea06c subsystem scripting enhancements
Add several API features to improve scripting support for subsystems.

1. A `CanonicalName` virtvar to provide a clear way to get subsystem names for indexing and referencing
2. `Submodel` and `SubmodelInstance` virtvars to get the submodel information associated with the subsystem, if it exists
3. A `getSubsystemList()` function to provide a subsystem iterator

wookieejedi b29e397fa7 Fixes Debris not inheriting parent ship texture replacements (#6519)
* Fixes Debris not inheriting parent ship texture replacements

Debris chunks that use the same texture as the actual hull model are not updated when `texture-replace` methods are used. For example, a clean grey base textures that has texture replace via table or FRED is changed to red/brown. But when the ship is destroyed the debris objects are using the original lighter texture instead of the newer darker one.

#6154 provided the groundwork to fix this, but one step fell through the cracks; setting the debris hull textures to what the parent ship used.

This PR sets the debris texture replacements when debris is created to fix this (and fixes #2462).

Fix is tested and works as expected.

Goober5000 6bdd80bed3 fix ship:warpIn() behavior for docked ships
As described in #6445, the `warpIn()` script function did not work correctly for docked ships because the dock leader flag was not set.  So, set the flag, but make sure to set it only for the first ship for which `warpIn()` is called.  And make sure the flag is removed after the ship finishes arriving.

Also remove an `Int3()` in `shipfx_warpin_start()`.  (This Int3() was not actually in the original Volition source code release.)

Fixes #6445.
