The code for generating spark sounds was incorrectly copied from debris to ships, dating all the way back to retail. The sound should be played once per generation event, not once for every electrical arc active on the ship. This fixes a bug that caused overlapping electrical arc sounds.
The Input of `Trigger Radius` for curves within new particle effects was never hooked up for muzzle flashes, so this PR adds in the necessary lines to get it working. This allows modders to make a muzzle effect that can scale to the weapon radius through curves, and thus modders can simply make one curve scaled muzzle flash and avoid making a many muzzle flashes for each sized weapon that uses the same base effect.
Tested and works as expected.
Most places in the code that use `vm_vector_2_matrix` do so on already-normalized vectors. Changing these to `vm_vector_2_matrix_norm` avoids redundant normalization.
1. Refactor `num_hits` to `num_sparks` and `MAX_SHIP_HITS` to `MAX_SHIP_SPARKS` to be consistent with their current (since FS1 pre-release) usage.
2. Remove the unused `HP_SCALE`.
3. Always initialize at least one spark pair. If `choose_next_spark()` was entered when `num_sparks` was 1, `num_spark_pairs` would be 0 and none of the spark pairs would be initialized. Consequently, accessing the pair at index 0 would return garbage data.
4. Iterate through `num_spark_pairs` when counting the indexes, rather than the hardcoded (and incorrect) magic number 6.
Fixes a crash discovered by Dawnesya that can only occur when a ship has both the "fighter" and "cruiser" flags. Normally, fighters never enter the `choose_next_spark()` function and 'big' ships always have at least 3 sparks.

* Add Mod Option to Limit 'Show Ship' when Toggling Cockpits
FotG uses cockpits and 'show ship', and also provides a way for players to toggle off cockpits. Unfortunately, if the player disables cockpits, 'show ship' still appears and looks very odd (since it appears the player is flying a ship with a hole in the center where the cockpit would be). Other mods have made entire ships with their cockpits, but FotG needs to use 'show ship' to match team colors and moving external ship animations.
This PR adds a game_settings option that allows mods to set to only use 'show ship' if cockpits are enabled.
Tested and works as expected.

An idiosyncrasy of the original implementation of `timestamp_until()` is that "immediate" timestamps that expired would be negative. Only one remaining spot in the codebase relied on this: engine wash. When #6258 fixed `timestamp_until()` to return 0 for immediate timestamps, engine wash broke. Changing the comparison from `<` to `<=` fixes it. I searched the code and there are no similar uses of `timestamp_until()` or `timestamp_since()`.
In the process of searching, though, I found two uses of `timestamp_since()` that were converted from `timestamp_until()` in PR #4286. These particular conversions more properly include the 0 rather than exclude it, so I changed these as well.
As described in #6445, the `warpIn()` script function did not work correctly for docked ships because the dock leader flag was not set. So, set the flag, but make sure to set it only for the first ship for which `warpIn()` is called. And make sure the flag is removed after the ship finishes arriving.
Also remove an `Int3()` in `shipfx_warpin_start()`. (This Int3() was not actually in the original Volition source code release.)
Fixes#6445.

Turn `Parse_names` into a vector and add SCP_string overloads of ship registry functions. Refactor calling code to use registry as appropriate. Remove an unused overload of `mission_parse_get_parse_object`.
There was confusion in the lighting code between light indexes and sun indexes. These are usually the same, but not always. This makes several changes to fix light/sun handling.
1. Clarify the distinction between lights and suns and add a `sun_index` field
2. Add a flags field and assign the `dual_cone` boolean to it, as well as a new glare flag
3. Determine light glare by checking the light flag, not the sun (which never worked in the first place as the `stars_sun_has_glare` function checked bitmaps rather than suns)
This advances the versions for Clang to 16 and GCC to 13 along with
fixing any warnings these new versions are detecting now.
The new image versions also include Vulkan so the additional workflow
step for installing that is not necessary anymore.
In many calls to `ship_get_subsystem_strength`, the caller doesn't care about the actual number, just whether the subsystem type is destroyed. So this adds an optimization to check specifically for that. In the case of `SUBSYSTEM_ENGINE`, this avoids an iteration over every subsystem on the ship which, for a ship with many turrets, can be significant.
Some of the `frand_range` calls were used for integer calculations, so we can use `Random::next` now.
This also reduces the number of C-style casts in the codebase.
