Goober5000andClaude Opus 4.7 49a9141073 Convert team_data to sparse loadout entry vectors
team_data was the last persistence-adjacent structure sized by MAX_SHIP_CLASSES: four parallel ship arrays plus four parallel weapon arrays (one slot per mission-file loadout line, holding a class or a sexp variable name, and a count or a sexp variable name) with manual num_*_choices counters, plus a dense per-class weapon_required flag array.  Convert all of it to the sparse-container family:

  ship_list / ship_list_variables / ship_count / ship_count_variables
    -> SCP_vector<loadout_entry> ship_choices
  weaponry_pool / weaponry_count / weaponry_pool_variable /
  weaponry_amount_variable
    -> SCP_vector<loadout_entry> weapon_choices
  bool weapon_required[MAX_WEAPON_TYPES]
    -> SCP_set<int> required_weapons

where loadout_entry is {class_index, count, class_variable, count_variable}, with empty variable strings meaning the value was given literally.  num_ship_choices / num_weapon_choices become .size().

Intentional behavior fixes, all previously latent memory errors or
data bugs:

 * is_ship_assignable stored an alt ship CLASS in a variable used as a
   loadout list INDEX when default_to_this_class was false, then
   swapped to ship_list[class] - garbage for any mission where the two
   domains diverge.  It now swaps to the alt class itself, per the
   evident intent.

 * The default-ship fallback read ship_list[0] even when a team had
   zero ship choices; it now leaves default_ship at -1, and
   ss_fixup_team_data guards its append of the default ship accordingly.

 * FRED2's dumpstats indexed Ships[] with a ship class when printing
   loadout entries; it now prints the entry's class or variable name
   directly.

 * Team parse now clears the previous mission's entries explicitly
   rather than relying on overwrite-in-place.

This clears the largest remaining cluster of MAX_SHIP_CLASSES references on the way to lifting the ship class limit.
