This was reported by @AxemP who wanted to have leading tabs in a text
line. However, split_str removed those characters by default since it
ignores leading whitespace. To fix that unexpected behavior of
gr.drawString I added a new paramter to split_str which disabled
whitespace removal and enabled that flag for the scripting function.
That should not be a problem for existing scripts since the expected
behavior would be that leading whitespace remains in place and since we
have not received any bug reports about missing white space I'm going to
assume that no one has used the function like this before removed those
characters by default since it ignores leading whitespace. To fix that

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.
I found this issue while debugging the JAD gauntlet where a script calls
getSignature() on an invalid object. However, object_h does not see the
object as invalid even though its signature is 0 which is defined to be
an invalid sigature. This should fix that by making sure that
object_h::isValid returns false if the saved signature is not valid.
