Implements the feature request from issue #610.
As an aside, this PR also patches the `ship_set_subsystem_strength` function (which is only used by the debug console and in the event you fire at your training instructor) to use the same code as the `set-subystem-strength` sexp. This properly handles submodels blown off, sounds, etc.
This allows modders to restrict the amount of rotation in a death roll.
It's fairly simple to fit in with the existing code which has a lot of
hard coded constants. The intended use case is to restrict pitch &
heading changes so there's less chance of rapid forward rolls or flat
spins, especially with faster-than-FS2 ships.
I'd almost rather rewrite the entire code to dynamically use ships mass
& velocity except for retail compatibility issues.
precalculate warp values before beginning warp, and use them throughout the warp instead of recalculating in every function
standardize on always using the entire docked assembly for length and half-length calculation, instead of some places the assembly and some places just the dock leader
consolidate and simplify the compute_warpout* functions in light of the above
This adds the "no sparks" flag for subsystems which disables the
generation of spark sources for that subsystem when it is hit.
This was requested by Axem.
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.
Removes two unused parameters from ai_ship_hit(). Instances where this
routine are called are also updated.
This should result in slightly more efficient code.

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.
Applies the 'static' keyword to applicable routines to both make it
more clear to the developer where such routines are likely to be used
as well as to provide additional information to the compiler so it can
make better optimizations.

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.
If the Object that had been assigned to that particular debris's parent wound up getting recycled and used for something else, the code in shiphit.cpp would cause a crash as soon as that debris hit something. This would happen fairly reliably in cluttered missions like BP massive battle.
