This allows the player to press a movement key to respawn after death, and the same keypress will cause the ship to move. Now this works with the option 'when dead, respawn by pressing any key' as well as 'when dead, respawn by pressing the Fire key'.
This is so game_flush_inputs() isn't called - part of change allowing player to respawn and begin moving with the same keypress. With this commit, you can use this feature with the 'when dead, respawn by pressing the Fire key' option - i.e. hold down movement key, then press fire key to respawn.
Later commits will enable the player to press a movement key to respawn on death, then move with the same keypress. This commit makes sure the player stops moving when the key is released.
Movement handling has an ugly hack that tries to grab powerups near the
console player, but it reuses general collision handling and fails to
check whether the player is alive.
Add a liveness check. Place the check so that it happens once, before
the objects are scanned, rather than being needlessly repeated for every
object.
Refactor the collision code to let the movement hack skip the parts it
does not need.

Kreator proposed restoring the Descent 2 cheat that grants homing
capability to all weapons. This commit implements that proposition,
with some changes to the implementation details.

Typing "BALDGUY" after enabling cheats will activate the 'baldguy' easter egg for D1X-Rebirth, which will show next time a briefing is shown featuring Dravis (Mac D1 data only). As with the original, it just plays the 'Cheater!' sound with no HUD message.
Pressing ALT-B when in the briefings using Mac Descent 1 data in D1X-Rebirth works again - showing Dravis wearing a silly hat. Before it would exit load_briefing_screen prematurely.
Function `object_create_explosion_sub` is supposed to be given a weapon
and an object on which to explode it. However, the original game abused
`object_create_explosion_sub` by also calling it from
`object_create_badass_explosion`, which can be called from
`explode_badass_object`, which can be called from
`explode_badass_player`. Chained together, this lets
`object_create_explosion_sub` check the weapon ID of a dying player,
which is not a valid operation. This causes a diagnostic from
`get_weapon_id`. Add an explicit test that the object is a weapon so
that non-weapons do not cause a diagnostic.

Commit e36abb25cb fixed one problem with demo access (invalid bits in
the high byte of index values), but created another. That commit
switched from direct loading of `front_wall_num` to instead load into
`type`, then move the value to `front_wall_num`. However, `type` is
`sbyte` (an archaic spelling of `int8_t`), so assignments from `type` to
`front_wall_num` were implemented as a sign-extending move, rather than
a zero-extending move. When the wall number was 0x80 or greater, the
sign-extending move produced an incorrect result, which led to a crash
when valptridx trapped the invalid index.
Fix this by changing the types of all three byte-sized variables to
`uint8_t`. None of them need to be signed.

Fixes: e36abb25cb ("Fix invalid access reading demos")
`get_weapon_id` must be called only on objects of type `OBJ_WEAPON`.
One path in `multi_compute_kill` could call `get_weapon_id` on an object
that is either a robot or a weapon. The code tested for a robot, but
only after performing an access that assumed it had a weapon. Reorder
the tests to prevent the type mismatch diagnostic.

By design, valptridx will throw an exception on invalid input. This is
better than silently permitting invalid input to corrupt program state.
Past releases blindly trusted that multiplayer peers would not send
invalid input. Conversion to the valptridx design eliminated the
undefined behavior when peers send invalid input, but still allowed
multiplayer peers to remotely crash the game by sending invalid inputs.
Add a mechanism to trap invalid inputs and gracefully ignore those
messages. This may cause game consistency issues, but will not allow
data corruption.
Contains 2 calls - to obj_create and init_ai_object. For safety reasons and tidiness compared to using obj_create directly. The call to init_ai_object in recreate_thief was already redundant.
All releases to date have a bug where they treat certain segment number
fields as an int, not a segment number. Storing segment_none (0xffff)
into the save file causes affected releases to crash in various places
because it fails to recognize that this is segment_none.
Current code correctly treats segment_none as a non-segment and works
correctly without this hack. The hack is only required to get past
releases to work correctly after loading a saved game written by current
code.
All releases to date have a bug where they treat MarkerObject as an int,
not an object number. Storing object_none (0xffff) into the save file
causes affected releases to exhibit several problems. Most obviously,
they crash if the automap is opened, because they try to show
Objects[0xffff] as a marker, but no such object exists. Additionally,
they refuse to let the player drop a marker because none of the elements
of MarkerObject are -1, so they incorrectly tell the player that all
marker slots are busy. Finally, they will crash if the guidebot is
killed, because the guidebot death code deletes marker 0xffff because it
fails to recognize that this is object_none.
Current code correctly treats object_none as a non-object and works
correctly without this hack. The hack is only required to get past
releases to work correctly after loading a saved game written by current
code.

Fixes bug where in the editor, you insert a robot with normal behaviour then play the level - it fails the check on the hide_segment index in init_ai_objects(). This is because hide_segment was written as the poisoned value of 0xfdfd if the behaviour of the robot is AIB_NORMAL - because hide_segment wasn't initialised. Therefore, always setting hide_segment to suppress this exception (it's an inexpensive operation seldom called).
