FRED and qtFRED no longer overwrite a hand-edited arrival cue on the wing
containing the player start. The cue is editable when the wing has multiple
waves (where it governs the arrival of subsequent waves) and read-only
otherwise. Waves and threshold are now editable for the single-player
player wing, while the arrival delay remains locked; the arrival location
is editable in both editors.
Both error checkers flag a single-wave player wing with a custom cue as a
potential issue, and the engine now warns and aborts the mission load,
rather than tripping an Assert, if the player start ship was not created
at mission start.
Also fix an unguarded read of Ships[Player_start_shipnum] in both editors.

The ship editor, wing editor, waypoint path dialog, and jump node
dialog all had near-identical code to check whether a new name
conflicts with an existing ship, wing, waypoint path, jump node, or
target priority group (or is empty, or begins with '<'). Both FRED2
and qtFRED carried their own copies of this logic.
Extract it into a single check_name_conflict() function in
code/missioneditor/common.cpp, shared by both editors, and replace the
duplicated validation at each call site with a one-line call:
- FRED2: shipeditordlg, wing_editor, waypointpathdlg, jumpnodedlg
- qtFRED: ShipEditorDialogModel, WaypointEditorDialogModel,
JumpNodeEditorDialogModel, and Editor::validate_wing_name
This also aligns a few small behavioral differences that had crept in
between the two editors: the waypoint and jump node dialogs now skip
empty wing slots (wave_count == 0) when checking for wing-name
collisions, and the qtFRED wing editor now rejects names beginning
with '<'.

The Align button repositions wing members by assigning objp->pos and objp->orient directly, skipping the post-move bookkeeping that the viewport drag and orient editor paths perform. A wing member with a docked partner (e.g. an attached support ship) would be moved to its formation slot while the partner stayed behind with broken dock geometry.
Fix by calling object_moved() for each repositioned member, which resets the Docked_already_handled flags and drags docked partners along. No-op for undocked ships.
Verified in FRED by docking a ship to a wing member and pressing Align.

* add wing display names
Adds display name capability for wings, matching the pattern and infrastructure of display names for ships. As in #7234, wing display names take precedence over ship display names, if both are provided; because if ship display names took precedence, a ship would have the same display name in every wave.
All the relevant display locations are handled, including the HUD, escort list, message box, and mission log. Lua API support is provided as well.
Adds full support for both FRED and QtFRED, including the always-save-display-names setting.
Addresses #7189 and the last request from #1730.
* add help text from #7234
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.
Add a useful function for getting a ship_info pointer from a ship registry entry. Also rename `ship_has_dock_bay` to `ship_has_hangar_bay` for clarity, since docking bays and docking points are not the same thing. Finally, add a `model_has_hangar_bay` function.

To enforce type safety for arrival and departure locations, this converts them to enum classes. Various casts are added when appropriate to convert between the indexed and enum values.
FRED has an autosave feature but it wasn't invoked in too many places. This adds autosaving whenever a major dialog is closed, unless it was closed by hitting Cancel. NB: Autosave is not yet implemented in qtFRED.
Also, `addvariabledlg` incorrectly referred to `OnOk` instead of `OnOK` and `CMessageEditorDlg` incorrectly referred to `OnOK` instead of `OnOk`, so this fixes those and distinguishes `OnOk` by renaming it `OnButtonOk` to be consistent with the event editor and other dialogs.
* Add "no-first-wave-message" wing flag
For when you want custom dialogue for the first wave, and automatic announcements for the rest.
* Fix FRED macro name
Same arrival warp when docked, same departure warp when docked, and associated changes to FRED, set-arrival-info, and set-departure-info.
Also fixes the nav-carry flag to properly save when a mission is saved. Previously that flag would always be cleared.
Implements feature from #4095.
1) Fixes the ship and wing dialog resizing for both sexp help and arrival/departure cues
2) Restores the sexp help in the Mission Goals dialog, which had been broken since the mini-help-box was added
Partial revert of Mantis #2053:
http://scp.indiegames.us/mantis/view.php?id=2053
The patch was speculative and there was never a confirmed bug. By contrast, there are plenty of existing missions that use Unknown as a ship, wing, or jump node name and work just fine.
This introduces a new mechanism for handling bit flags. Instead of using an int (or two, or three) to write bits into, this uses the std::bitset in a wrapper class that accepts an enum class as input. This means that certain classes of errors we've had a few of in the engine, where a coder used the wrong set of flags or checked them against the wrong variable (SF_STEALTH vs SIF_STEALTH, for example) can now be detected at a compiler level rather than not at all.
