This improves the ability of Lua to check for ship arrival status:
1. Deprecates the `isWarpingIn` function, which can be misleading, and replaces it with the equivalent `isWarpingStage1`
2. Adds an `isWarpingStage2` function to fill a gap in functionality
3. Adds an `isArrivingWarp` function (complementing the existing `isDepartingWarp` function) to cover both stage 1 and stage 2
Add "tactical" versions of disable and disarm goals which only perform the specific task without implying anything else. The target ship is not protected and attack goals are not cleared from other ships.
There is also a new AI profiles flag to make this the default hud squad message command instead of the classic disable/disarm.
The `collides` and `no_collide` flags are equivalent, but opposite. So when sexps or scripts get or set those flags, allow each to be used as an anti-synonym (not exactly an antonym) for the other.
Allow `mn.sendMessage` to send from a ship source, not only a string source, by allowing the ship object to be specified as the first argument. Also add `ship:sendMessage` which is a more streamlined version of the same thing.
1) Add the "no-thrusters" ship flag to the list of flag that can be used by alter-ship-flag or the ship's setFlag function
2) Add a `FireRateMultiplier` virtvar to control the firing rate of turrets (fulfills #4300)
3) Add a `setGlowPointBankActive` function to do the same thing as `activate-glow-point-bank`/`deactivate-glow-point-bank`

* Fix RTT Cockpits Gauges with Change Ship Class
Previously, using the `change-ship-class` sexp or scripting function did not update RTT cockpit gauges. This PR adds the cockpit code update functions to fix the issue. Tested and works as expected.
* comment consistency
* Implemented ship.checkVisibility for luaAPI, sharing logic with sexp isVisible. Made new function for the shared functionality
* Fixed a viewer-viewed mixup
