Patches the gamesnd system in several ways to properly fix the bug identified in #6196. Due to the way the new sound system was written, sounds with numeric IDs were not necessarily added in their indexed location, even though the code assumed (even prior to #6112) that this would be the case. The code now uses the proper index for both old *and* new style sounds. This is done by ensuring, in `gamesnd_parse_entry()`, that the vector contains an entry for the specified numeric ID before doing a search for that ID.
Due to the slightly modified population of the gamesnd vectors, the `Snds_iface_handle` vector is now populated after parsing the various sounds.tbl files rather than during parsing.
Separately, this makes consistent the handling of the `sound_entries` vector which could potentially be empty but also treated an empty state as an assertion failure.
* add API for glow point banks
Previously, a model API existed for glow points mounted on thrusters, but not glow points mounted on glow point banks. This adds glow point bank support. Also, this refactors and cleans up the implementation of the model API a bit.
* NULL -> nullptr
* make mission log dynamic
Change the mission log from a static array to a dynamic vector. This removes any chance of the mission log running into a limit (as regularly happened with the last mission of Shepherds before the limit bump) and also prevents strange mission bugs caused by culling obsolete entries.
This also unifies the API a bit by renaming the public `message_log_` function prefixes to `mission_log_`, removing the redundant `Num_log_lines` variable, and removing `Log_scrollback_vec` from the header.
Implements #5878.

This refactors the object_h struct to store objects as indexes rather than pointers. This is a prerequisite for making the collection of objects dynamic in the future. See also #6100.
Follow-up to #5800 and #5829.
Inspired by #6178, this moves the existing `count_items_with_name()` functions into utility.h and adds additional functions for finding specific items with a given `.name` or, more generally, a given field. The `Damage_types` search has been converted to illustrate how these functions can be used.
* Expose Impact Damage Type to Scripting
There's already a sexp that does this, but having the script version for ships is quite useful, too. For example, scripters can set impact damage types for just the player at various difficulties.
Tested and works as expected.
* always set damage type
* Exposes the New Flight Cursor Mode to Scripting
Thanks to #6136, FSO supports switching between two methods of flying. This PR exposes those settings and values to scripters. Tested and works as expected.
* fix aiming setting
* add reset position function
* cleanup setting pitch and heading
* one more cleanup
* update to enum support
* remove older version
* one more fix for setting flight mode
* Move replacement textures from ship to modelinstance
* Actually set pmi
* Fix texture replace in fred as well
* Fix bad indent
* incorporate feedback
As requested by Event Horizon, this removes the limit on fireball types. The fixed array has been replaced with a vector and the relevant code updated accordingly. There is also a new version of `stuff_int_list()` to parse ints into a vector.
This also adds bounds checking for explosion animations that are parsed for ship classes, ship types, and asteroids, since previously there was no guarantee that the indexes would be in range.
To enforce type safety for arrival and departure locations, this converts them to enum classes. Various casts are added when appropriate to convert between the indexed and enum values.
Indexes are a more robust way than pointers to manage model and submodel handles, and in the event that models are made dynamic in the future, indexes will be necessary anyway.
Follow-up to #6034. This slightly changes the function signature of `AddElectricArc` but it should be fine since it hasn't appeared in a stable release yet.

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.

* address some feedback
* return empty strings if not in multi
* use GetChannelByUser() instead
* 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`.
