* Add view show status for HUD gauges in scripting
Many FSO mods use scripted HUD gauges, but previously the scripted HUD gauges were always forced to be on for the player, unlike retail gauges that can be toggled in the HUD Config screen. This PR allows scripters to view the show status of a HUD gauge, which is very useful for adding a check in the script to only show the gauge if a certain gauge is active. This is similar behavior to the getColor function, which allowed scripters to get the HUD Config colors of a given default gauge.
Tested and works as expected.

This introduces type parsing for all types used within the scripting
documentation. This improves the generated JSON output and also
validates new code via the unit test.
This adds JSON as an additional scripting documentation output format.
This can be used by external tools to examine the scripting
documentation and generate interface declarations or documentation for
any language. The existing documentation code is left largely in place.
This maintains the type information which can be used for enforce
const-correctness and also for implementing more advanced ways of
handling the type information.
As described in #1278, the current scripting system has issues with
handling non-trivial C++ types. Since fixing that deficiency is too much
work, especially since we are in a feature freeze, I decided to simply
enforce the usage of trivial types for scripting handles. Fortunately,
only two handles used non-trivial types so it was relatively easy to fix
those instances by dynamically allocating those and only storing the
pointers in the lua memory.
This fixes a bug in JAD-XA where the game would crash at the last boss.
Also, I noticed that the HudGauge handle used a copy of the hud gauge
rather than a pointer to the actual instance so I'm pretty sure that any
scripting changes to a custom HUD gauge simply didn't work before.
