Since `gr_string` can accept a length parameter, there's no need to copy each line before it is drawn.
Related to #5495 but not one of the two options mentioned.
This adds several fixes to make the event and menu music more robust:
1. The game will now run with zero soundtracks. All accesses into a potentially empty vector should now have checks.
2. Soundtracks and menu music are now checked for validity before being played (not just when importing a FSM mission).
3. The parsing validity checks and the in-game event music now check for skippable patterns using the same function.
4. Zero measures and zero samples-per-measure now cause the game to skip a pattern. Negative values now trigger a warning.
5. Omitting some or all of the `$Name:` lines for a soundtrack will not cause an assert.
Fixes#5576. Follow-up to #5572.
The `mn.createWeapon()` function takes an optional group ID for weapons that share lighting, but the internal `weapon_create_group_id()` function was never exposed to the API. This adds that.
When fireballs were made dynamic in 609ed4ed94, the `MAX_FIREBALLS` #define lost any relationship to the fireball collection. This removes it and also correctly specifies the size of the fireball collection.
This fixes a CTD when accessing items in `mn.Fireballs` via script.
See title. There were some cascade effects, but the changes are mostly contained to the model code. The calls to `gr_render_model` and `g3_render_primitives` use `const_cast` because constifying that API would require a whole other PR.

Here's a suggested followup to #5249. This converts the hotkey type to an enum for improved type safety. It also adds the corresponding Lua enums and adjusts the Type virtvar to return them.
Many of the recent scripting API enhancements are missing validity functions and validity checks, so this adds them. There are also some documentation fixes and a >= vs. > bugfix.
* read access to controls
* Early draft of checking keypresses in scpui
