Mostly renaming of fields and functions, and moving some modelread sections into functions. This reorganization will put the code on a better footing for the model translation feature. No model translation code is included yet, and there should be no change in functionality.
This moves submodel rotation out of the AI pipeline and into object movement. With the exception of turret rotation (which remains in the AI code) this now allows all types of submodel rotation to happen in the same place. Many associated functions have also been cleaned up.
In addition to making the code cleaner and clearer, this will make it much easier for intrinsic rotations and new animations to be applied to non-ship objects, such as weapons.
* Remove Buggy Function and Let Debris end natrually
Removes this retail function that was actually perpetually postponing the death of debris at long distances instead of removing them. Debris lifetime is suitably short for the small, non-hull pieces (only a few seconds), while large pieces are supposed to be permanent. It also culls based on player position, which is not the correct approach, since the camera can be free from the player ship.
* Remove Vestigial Variables
These variables are no longer checked for anything now that we allow debris to go through its lifetime.
* Prevent Crashes from Weapons being deleted during the collision process
This puts in some safety checks to keep FSO from crashing while doing collision detection when close to the object limit.
* Remove Problematic Assertions and INT3's
Keeps FSO from crashing when low on Object slots from failed weapon and beam creations.
* Simplify Code with a good suggestion

Fixes#2834, a bug where non-capital ships did not generate debris pieces from their hull. It turns out this bug was introduced in #2416. If the `DoesNotExpire` flag is substituted for the `lifeleft` variable , it should be done in all locations.
With dynamic debris, as soon as the Debris vector was reallocated it invalidated the `prev` and `next` pointers. I figured out how to dispense with the actual list entirely, since we mainly need to know how many hull debris pieces there are and whether an individual piece is on the "list".
This is a follow-up to #2649.
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.
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.
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.
