This removes the need to walk all objects when creating a new one, since
each object can have a private generation counter, unaware of other
objects. For compatibility with demos, mix in the object's index when
writing the signature value.
This code was part of a feature abandoned before retail. It cannot be
usefully used in campaigns. Remove it to reduce code size and simplify
later changes.
Players keep reporting errors that trace to the game rejecting invalid
data from user-made maps. In this case, asymmetric connectivity in
_Descent Vignettes_[1] level _Stalactite Volcano_ (level 15 in Descent,
level 14 in Descent 2) caused an exception when trying to render part of
the first big room.
The debug build shipped with function `check_segment_connections` to
detect some types of connectivity errors. Expose this function to
release builds, and call it for user-made maps. It already checked for
asymmetric segment links. Extend that to hotfix those links by breaking
the asymmetric connection. Log an URGENT class message when this
happens, so that users are aware that the level was modified at load.
Move the `NDEBUG` guards into `check_segment_connections` so that
non-debug builds check only for segment symmetry, but do not check for
normals and face count errors.

Instead of blacklisting two specific bad N_save_pof_names values, ignore
all N_save_pof_names that would overrun the Save_pof_names array.
This allows Rebirth to load broken levels such as "Hazard Zone"[1]. In
the case of Hazard Zone, the POF count is simply missing, so the first
two characters of the first POF name were taken as a count. This led to
a massive overrun of the Save_pof_names array.

`value` is generic and unclear. It is always meant to be used as an
index into the Station array, so rename it `station_idx` to show this.
Define and consistently use `station_none` to represent that no station
is assigned.
