Swaps the order of the scripting call block and the cycle-to-next-bank-if-out-of-ammo block so that e.g. "$On Weapon Fired:" scripts for a specific weapon type (which checks the currently-selected bank) will work properly when firing the last missile in the bank. Fixes issue #1091.
Upgrades and deprecates the original jettison-cargo-delay sexp by removing the unused delay parameter and adding a new parameter to control the speed of jettisoning. It further fixes the physics calculations by using the dockpoint normal instead of the vector between the center of the host ship to the center of the cargo.

Make sure we've got initialized values in the secondary pattern indexes
for a ship_weapon and also allow linked/dual fire to be in sequence
instead of swapping in the base weapon at the beginning of each pattern
loop.
Designed to work around issues with gunpoints on animated subsystems,
and those gunpoints being in the "triggered" position, and thus there's
lines pointing to empty space in the weapon loadout screen.
Use this to specify an alternate model that has the gunpoints in the
"correct" position.
previous_primary_bank was only getting set if the ship had a ballistic weapon or if secondary banks were changed, so previous_secondary_bank wasn't getting set at all. I fixed the second problem my simply using the correct variables, and the first problem by consolidating the ballistic and non-ballistic code so that there was less code redundancy (without that redundancy, it's unlikely the mistake would've been made in the first place); I figured this was a better solution than just copying the code to set previous_primary_bank into the non-ballistic codepath.
Also simplified the code for setting the previous weapon bank according to asarium's suggestion.
The codebase had quite a few instances of .size() being called and then checked to see if it was 0 or not (or less than 1, or greater-than-or-equal-to 1, which are basically equivalent), when .empty() could be called instead (negated or not, depending on what the original condition was).
Ignore_List (the list of flags used to determine if a ship is an invalid target) was originally a statically-initialized bitfield stored in an int; the new bitset flags code added a set_default_ignore_list() function to provide the default values, but then forgot to call it anywhere. As a result, "hidden-from-sensors" (and the other, less-likely-to-be-noticed flags) was having no effect on the player's ability to target anything. This adds a call to set_default_ignore_list() to ship_init() so that the original functionality is restored.
A few things I noticed while working on ai-chase-ship-class, split out into a separate PR. Some code is reordered, some is cleaned up; nothing too extensive. The most notable changes are a) the modification of the Ai_goal_text function to work on the AI_GOAL_X #define directly rather than unnecessarily calculate the bit; b) changing the HUD text of "fly to ship" to "rendezvous with" plus the ship name; c) adding a Warning in ai_update_goal_references; and d) changing ship_name to target_name in ship_return_orders for clarity
This fixes a few of the bad design descisions of previous shader
iterations. This uses a dedicated class for managing the resources and
uniform locations of a shader program.
Uniforms are also stored in this object which makes a lot more sense
than storing them in the OpenGL state where they had to be reset every
time a new shader was used.
There are still a lot of possible enhancments to make, e.g. by using
uniform blocks and buffers instead of standard uniforms which would make
uniform location handling easier.
Another optimization that I will investigate is reducing the amount or
different compiled shaders by turning some of the current compile-time
defines into bool uniforms.
See also my comments on #762. The flag is almost entirely redundant, so this PR removes it in all instances where it's used in the ballistic primaries code. There are one or two places where removing it was not a no-op, so I adjusted the rest of the code accordingly (most notably in the parsing validation when it checks that primary weapon cargo has been assigned). I also added a few divide-by-zero checks and slightly tweaked the support ship rearm code. The use of the SIF_BALLISTIC_PRIMARIES flag in the ingame_join code was replaced with a dummy value to avoid bumping the multiplayer packet version number.
