Goober5000andClaude Opus 4.7 237516c08c Convert CSG/PLR fixed ship/weapon arrays to SCP_vector
Ship_info is already an SCP_vector but MAX_SHIP_CLASSES (500) is held in
place by fixed-size structures throughout the engine and editors. This
converts the seven file-format-adjacent arrays whose persistence touches
the .csg campaign save and .plr pilot file formats:

  campaign::ships_allowed         [MAX_SHIP_CLASSES] -> SCP_vector<ubyte>
  campaign::weapons_allowed       [MAX_WEAPON_TYPES] -> SCP_vector<ubyte>
  loadout_data::ship_pool         [MAX_SHIP_CLASSES] -> SCP_vector<int>
  loadout_data::weapon_pool       [MAX_WEAPON_TYPES] -> SCP_vector<int>
  scoring_struct::kills           [MAX_SHIP_CLASSES] -> SCP_vector<int>
  scoring_struct::m_kills         [MAX_SHIP_CLASSES] -> SCP_vector<int>
  scoring_struct::m_okKills       [MAX_SHIP_CLASSES] -> SCP_vector<int>

The CSG and PLR file formats already store explicit counts and key by
ship/weapon names, so no on-disk format change is needed. Existing
read/write loops already iterated by ship_info_size() / weapon_info_size()
and just compile through against the new vector types.

Vectors are sized to ship_info_size() / weapon_info_size() in
scoring_struct::init(), mission_campaign_clear(), player_loadout_init(),
and the campaign-pool reset paths in csg.cpp and multi_campaign.cpp.
All of these run after weapon_init() / ship_init(), so the sizing
invariant holds. scoring_struct globals constructed at static-init time
start with empty vectors; first index access is always post-table-parse.

Multiplayer stats sync (multimsgs.cpp) now derives offsets and counts
from the vector size; added USHRT_MAX assertions on the sender side
since the wire protocol packs offset/count as USHORT. The FSTracker
sync (multi_fstracker.cpp) clamps vmt->num_ships down to the local
mod's kills.size() before transmission and guards the receive-side
write so a tracker payload with more ship slots than this mod has won't
overrun the vector.

The MAX_SHIP_CLASSES cap itself stays in place at ship.cpp:2327; this
is one prerequisite toward lifting it. The other ~25 fixed-size
ship-class-indexed structures (team_data, Ss_pool_teams, Wl_ships,
FRED2 editor arrays, qtFRED Editor::_ship_usage, etc.) remain to be
addressed in follow-up PRs.
