* Allow mods to set threshold at which shield stops taking damage

FSO logic dictates that shields collisions and any related sound or visuals related to shields are skipped if the shields are under 10%. This is rather unintuitive especially for mods, so this PR creates a game setting value that allows mods to set this value.

Also, this PR fixes a bug where the HUD shield gauge would try and incorporate this feature but did not do it correctly. Specifically, the gauge skips shield segment rendering if the raw shield strength was 0.1 not the percent. Incorrectly using the raw value results in HUD shields being rendered (albeit faintly) even if the damage was skipping the shield and directly damaging the hull. In other words, if the shield segment was 8%, the shield segment would show faintly even the shield is skipping damage.

Tested and works as expected. Also happy to discuss or answer any questions!

* update local variable name for clarity

* rename `ship_quadrant_shield_strength`

* cleanup with updated get percent function

* more cleanup

* wording and safety tuning

* use correct default number
