Two enhancements:
1) Allow the SEXP help description to take up multiple lines. Since the parser did not originally use `stuff_string` with `F_MULTITEXT`, this required some creative parsing.
2) Generate the text for minimum and maximum number of arguments.
`gr_get_string_size` takes a length parameter, but `split_str_once` was calling it with the position instead. This led to incorrect results occasionally. If the incorrect pixel width had the bad luck to be exactly equal to the remaining space, this would cause an infinite loop. This fixes the bug and adds a bunch of safeguards to prevent a similar situation in the future.

The old XSTR parsing code was a bit of a mess and did not even properly enforce its format. These new routines enforce the actual XSTR format and warn when it is malformed, which is helpful for catching table errors as early as possible. This fixes#3627 and also catches mismatched quotes and other common XSTR errors. No more wondering why comments are being mysteriously parsed instead of ignored!
When an empty string is encountered in the weapon list, it's valid, but the -1 should actually be stored, not skipped.
This bug was preventing ship weapons from being explicitly set to None.

Here's a bug that's been around ever since version 3.6. If the subsystem names were not essentially the same, the function wouldn't do the expected string comparison.
Commit 6c2ebab01c (#3439) added a `max_line_length` argument to `split_str()`, but one call had the extra argument added in the wrong spot, and so a previously-pointless-but-harmless `ignored_char` of 0 became a `max_line_length` of 0, resulting (ultimately) in an exception in the unicode code when the iterator tried to decrement at the beginning of a ship's description. This gets rid of the argument entirely, rather than reordering them, because ignoring null characters doesn't really do anything anyway.
I've also added `Assertion`s to check `max_line_length` that should prevent this specific problem from occurring again in the future.
* Added a byte limit for line length in split function
* Fix call error

* Change hardcoded values into defines

#3271 changed the logic of `stuff_token_list()` in such a way that the supplied index being used to access an array was no longer skipped if it was invalid; naturally, this means that this warning was now being inevitably followed up by an out-of-bounds array access. Adding a `!skip_this_entry` check should hopefully fix the problem while still allowing the loadout count parsing code below it to run, which was presumably the reason the `continue` statement was replaced with the `skip_this_entry` variable in the first place. Fixes#3405.
This moves the ## to # escape sequence logic from `mission_process_alt_types` to its own function where it can be used elsewhere (such as for ship class and weapon class display names that need to do the same thing). Also, this introduces a !! escape sequence for exclamation points that is needed for exclamation points to be used in scripts, as @naomimyselfandi pointed out.
Consolidate all the functions which parse lists of data. They're almost the same except for the data itself, so use templates.
As for the templated function which handles the list, boost the robustness by adding additional checking and error messages.
This refactors the tolower/toupper code to use standards-conformant logic, and also adds some helpful utility functions. Regular tolower/toupper must be supplied a value that can be represented as `unsigned char`, but the std:: functions are a bit more robust.
One small detail that was overlooked in PR #3021... KeldorKatarn's old code used `strtod` while the new code used `stuff_float`. This wouldn't be a problem except that a couple MVP models use annoyingly formatted floats like 8.9e-08. So I decided to convert `stuff_float` to use `strtof` and do some more upgrades while I was at it.
For compatibility purposes some mods want alt names to truncate at the hash symbol. But we can't actually do that at mission load,
since we have to save them again in FRED. So this commit processes the names just before the mission starts.
To further complicate things, some mods actually want the hash to be displayed. So this commit introduces the double-hash as an escape sequence for a single hash.
If a message string contained a word that was too long, on its own, for the available screen real estate, the function wouldn't split the string at all. The new behavior is to split the string even if the split location is suboptimal, since it's better to have as much of the message visible as possible.
Quoting from the code:
```
// only update the line break if:
// a) we don't have a line break yet;
// b) we're still within the required real estate
// (basically we want the latest line break that doesn't go off the edge of the screen,
// but if the *first* line break is off the end of the screen, we want that)
```
When I rewrote `strip_comments()` to take quotes into account, I didn't correspondingly update `get_line_num()`. This fixes that. I discovered that a Lua file with a lot of semicolons inside quotes was erroneously getting the past-EOF warning.
Also, in the event that the warning *is* tripped, this exits the loop instead of repeatedly displaying the warning.
1) Write all non-UTF-8 strings to JSON, either by converting or truncating
2) Add `coerce_to_utf8` function
3) Tweak `read_raw_file_text` because the function returns length on success, not 0
This is a follow-up to PR #2373. Tomimaki noticed that the first character was truncated in the cutscene description, and it turned out that the algorithm was slightly wrong.
