This adds the special SEXP return values (SEXP_KNOWN_TRUE, SEXP_NAN, and so forth) as enums, and adds code to intercept these enums if they are returned where the code would normally expect a boolean or number. If an enum is found, it is converted to its special return value equivalent.
With this change, a script can end a function with `return SEXP_KNOWN_TRUE` or similar. No other API changes are needed; in particular, no special `$Return Type:`s are needed.
Implements #5959.

* once more with feeling
* correct documentation
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`.
* Add the submodel that was hit to the On Ship Collision scripting hook. (This will only be non-nil if the ship was the "heavy object".)
* Add a `getModel()` function to the scripted submodel object.
* Fix some incorrect documentation in `OnShipCollision`.
* Expose NoCollide and NoCollideThisOnly as virtual variables for submodels
* Allow submodels to be optionally specified in object:checkRayCollision
* Be sure to calculate ship-to-ship hit position before the override collision hook is called, in case the hook needs this value. (The other collision hooks already calculate the hit position before the override hook.)
* add extra ways to modify background elements in missions
This adds Lua API methods for getting suns and bitaps by index, as well as modifying their scale and position. This removes the need to completely add and remove a background element that only needs to be modified.
* big pruning of (int) casts
Several handle types in the scripting API used inheritance where composition would be more appropriate. This refactors those types, as well as removing the various handle types that were just aliases for `model_h`. These are just the C++-side types; all the Lua types remain as-is.
This also refactors `sound_h` to move the previous `isSoundValid` to `isValid` so that `ade_set_args` will work properly for sounds with the `Lua_API_returns_nil_instead_of_invalid_object` flag. The subclassing from `sound_entry_h` was removed and the "full validity check" was moved to `isValidWithEntry`. The Lua side remains unaffected, but additional documentation was added to clarify the usage.
Follow-up to #6009 and prerequisite to #6006 due to the `isValid` refactor for `sound_h`.

* localization id conflict with master
* Add this line back in
* pass the new option flags as well
* resolve xstr id conflict
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
Check the filenames used to initialize HUD gauges and mark the gauge as hi-res if the filename starts with 2_. Also add a script method to return this value.
Additionally, make accessor methods `const`.
