Several things going on here:
1) refactor `get_display_string()` to `get_display_name()` to be more precise
2) likewise, refactor `alt_name` to `display_name`
3) automatically generate display names when parsing the ship, ship class, and weapon class for the first time
4) remove the on-the-fly truncation of names with hash symbols
Basically this subsumes the `end_string_at_first_hash_symbol` logic into the display name. Rather than truncate the name every time it's displayed, truncate it once when it's parsed. This takes advantage of the previous display name infrastructure, since display names are a superset of the case of truncating the hash symbol.
This also has the benefit of now allowing hash symbols within display names. When updating Destiny of Peace, I noticed that "Lockheed Shuttle #4" would no longer display properly; and it was not previously possible to fix this even with display names.
I could pull out the `get_display_string()` and `alt_name` renaming into a separate PR if desired.
There's a bit of debug code that checks to make sure all ranks are in ascending point order; if this check fails, FSO calls Int3() instead of trying to describe the problem. I've changed it to a Warning that actually explains the problem, so the modder can fix it.
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.
Bombs can give points for being shot down. This was being handled by a full-blown pair of damage_ship/damage_ship_id arrays, just like ships have for scoring purposes. This is ridiculous overkill when most bombs are shot down with a single pull of the trigger and means we were storing a couple hundred bytes of data that would be completely unused for the vast majority of projectiles. Now, whoever shoots down a bomb gets the points for it; period. Simple, and we can remove all scoring data from the weapon struct.
Converts Ship_info from a ship_info[] to an SCP_vector<ship_info>. ship_info now has proper constructors, assignment operators, and a destructor. Num_ship_classes removed; various references to Num_ship_classes and/or MAX_SHIP_CLASSES (which remains for various other structures which need it) changed to Ship_info.size() instead.
This doesn't make the ship class limit dynamic, but it is a preparatory step to get there.
This makes it so that getting enough kills to cross the threshold for more than one badge simultaneously grants all of them (with the debriefing showing only the last one) and backs out all of them if the scoring is backed out.

MASSIVE thanks to Mjn.Mixael and Blue Planet for tireless constant testing.
(It's still not perfect, but it probably wouldn't be where it is at without them)
Spans a lot from initial commit to AP Branch in r6835.
