* Multiplayer Dumbfire Rollback
This creates a packet that sends the relative position and orientation info for a primary or dumbfire missle shot. The client creates this packet when firing those two types of weapons and sends it to the server. The server goes back to the frame that the client fired the weapon and quicky resimulates all the frames in-between.
This includes collision detection, restoring positions, orientations and veloicties, but not subsystem orientations.
* Address Feedback
* allow clients to send subsystem info
* Check for object number not weapon number
* Readability Adjustment
Also slightly optimizes some of the hooks because the adding/removing of hook variables should be guarded by the same if() block that controls execution.
The previous system was kind of hacky and made things a bit inflexible.
This improves that system quite a bit and also adds unit tests for the
hook variable functionality.
A bit of small cleanups in preparation of larger scale refactoring.
remove unused member heavy_collision_cm_pos of collision info struct,
which was set in several places but never used.
Switch from 3x specific is_arriving functions to a single with params
Change flag names; replace "ndl" with "dock_follower"
Change dock-arrival helpers to not set follower flag on leaders
There's a number of issues fixed here:
* Radar blips of docked ships were the wrong colour in stage 1
* You could target docked ships in stage 1
* Docked ships thrusters were visible in stage 1
* Hyperspace warptype ship could initially appear at their
warp-destination, then spring back to the correct location to complete
the rest of their warpin (because a docked ship had higher speed than
the dock leader)
There may also be a number of other subtle bugs with docked warpin;
e.g. I suspect (but haven't tested) that AI turrets could fire on
docked ships during warpin
These should also be fixed
Lastly, fixes issue #1867
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.
This is similar to the other changes I already posted. Here the sound
instance handles are converted to their own handle type which will make
it easier to use the sound API.
This adds a new class which allows to create type safe resource handle
types. At the moment, the engine uses ints pretty much everywhere for
providing handles to resources created by the specific subsystems. Since
all ints are the same to the C/C++ typesystem it is perfectly legal to
pass a sound handle to the graphics API as a buffer handle which will
obviously cause issues.
This adds a new type called "ID" which is a wrapper class for a generic
handle but with added type safety. An instance of this class cannot be
passed to a function expecting another type of handle which provided
compile-time type safety for these APIs.
As an initial test I converted the game sound handles to this new type.
I already found a bug in the mainhall system thanks to this new type.
The mainhall used the game sound handles as sound instance handles which
probably meant that that specific code never really worked right. I
removed the code since there was no better alternative for fixing it.
Applying the 'static' keyword to applicable routines both informs the
developer where the routine is likely to be used as well as allows the
compiler to perform additional optimizations.

I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct way to do the computation
but I see no other way of fixing it but since the zero vector is a valid
value for the relative velocity this seems to be the most sensible
solution.
Also, related to this I found out that FSO causes a lot of NaN errors at
runtime which may need to be investigated at some point to make sure
they don't cause issues like this bug.
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.
