Scripts that render models in the On Object Render hook were effectively doing immediate renders in the middle of queued renders. This caused some data, such as model orientation, to 'leak' between renders. It might also have something to do with why the bug in #4637 had the particular graphical side effects that it did.
Anyway, changing the immediate renders to queued renders fixes the leaky orientations, and is probably a good upgrade for other reasons as well.
Follow-up to #4602. Overall the PR was good, but there are a few extra small changes that should go in. In order of priority:
1) The `exitLoop`, `skipMission`, and `skipTraining` functions should check for campaign mode.
2) The `isVisible` virtvar should be changed to a function, because calling it may have side effects. In standard usage, the briefing formula is evaluated exactly once per stage on briefing initialization, so scripts should follow this convention.
3) The `hasGoalsSlide` function should be called `hasGoalsStage`, because "stage" is the common terminology in FSO.
4) Paging out mission messages is already done in `game_level_close` and should be removed from not only the scripting method but the method it was based on.
5) For consistency, unused parameters should use the `SCP_UNUSED` macro.
6) The `isTraining` flag check can be slightly streamlined using the double-not trick.

* Move colors up one level and generalize
* Initialize this first
* These are common to both all Briefings, so put them in the general Briefing category
Protects `Fiction_viewer_active_stage` if it reads a stage of -1 (it would have thrown a vector access error because the index is out of range). Also, given a lot of other scripting functions have additional built in error checks, I just added those to the fiction viewer functions.
