1) Upgrade the pilot file code to correctly save flags whether entries are added *or* removed
2) Make the tech-db/tech-db-multi ship flag handling consistent
3) Add scripting support for intel entries
4) Add scripting support for adding and removing entries from the tech room
5) Minor cleanup
Properly whacks all ships that are docked together when any are whacked, makes everything more consistent by calling ship_apply_whack instead of physics_apply_whack, whacking in general now unrotates its hit pos to get a world pos like physics whack was expecting and adds a few matrix helper functions.
The ship registry previously stored the ship name as a pointer, but that pointer was reused when subsequent waves of a wing overwrote a p_object from the first wave. So, the name is now copied into an array.
Additionally, subsequent waves of a wing are now "eagerly" stored in the ship registry so that the p_object reference can be stored as well.
Previously a ship's shields and weapon regeneration per second rates were only stored in the ship_info strut, thus they should not be changed during a mission or via scripting (see #2236 and and #2239). There are many precedents for taking a ship_info value ans copying it to a ship_object value so the value can be changed on a per ship basis in mission (auto aim FOV is one of many examples). This PR thus copies the shield and weapon recharge values to the ship_object and exposes those new values to scripting.
This adds a mechanism for running generic operations at specific points
of the frame execution. This can be used by any part of the code an not
just Lua since it simply executes std::functions. It also adds an
"execution context" concept that specifies in which situation an
operation should be executed.
This is then used by the Lua Coroutines code for resuming coroutines at
specific points instead of always when the awaited promise resolves.
The sexps that activate and deactive glowmaps are very useful for ships, though previously the glowmap status was not passed to the ship's cockpit. This PR adds the ability for glowmap status to carry to this ship's cockpit (if it has one).
Due to code rot, the support ship hull repair code was a bit more tangled than it should have been, so I tidied it up. I also fixed a bug Sarn noticed where a support ship would think all subsystems were repaired if the hull repair rate was set to 0.
Currently `$Closeup_Pos:` and `$Closeup_Zoom:` control the camera zoom and position values for the techroom, briefing and HUD Target Box. Unfortunately, with very large ships this results in an issue, to fit the view of an entire big ship in the HUD Target Box the zoom and position must be set a certain way which results in the ship looking very far away when viewed in the techroom. This PR adds two new fields that control camera postion and zoom but only for the HUD Target Box, thus modders can now set values for both and have the ships look good in both the Techroom and HUD Target Box. The new hud target box values are optional, and if not specifed they default to the values for `$Closeup_Pos:` and `$Closeup_Zoom:` .
