1) Make pirates with full holds (and other offenders using route1traderAI) less likely to go to main station, especially not fugitives. (Expansion of changes from r4770)
2) Experimentally ensure always at least one rock hermit in all non-nova systems. If normal generation does not place a hermit, one is added well away from all spacelanes.
3) New "ATTACKER_MISSED" AI event for when a ship tried to shoot a laser at its target but narrowly missed. Many stock AIs modified to treat this as a hostile action.
4) Tidy function/property names in docking code
5) Add checks for cloaking in some AI routines
6) Use weak refs rather than universal ID for targeting, and clean up

Bug fixes:
1) Giving a ship an aft Thargoid laser and a forward Thargoid laser
now has a different effect to giving it just a forward Thargoid
laser. (It gives it double attack power with its laser; use sparingly!)
2) Thargoid laser rate of fire no longer depends on the frame rate.
AI upgrades:
1) Pilots with fear will attempt to flee from Q-Mines at top speed
2) Pilots without fear will attempt to blow up Q-Mines, then avoid the
cloud if unsuccessful.
3) Ships with a Thargoid laser fitted will use the fact that they have
an omnidirectional laser to their advantage in combat.
4) Ships with multidirectional weapons (thargoid lasers, plasma
turrets) can now track multiple targets with those weapons, which
need not be the primary target, and use these weapons as point
defense. New AI commands have been added for optimal use of point
defense, but even old AIs will do reasonably well.
New AI commands:
1) "addPrimaryAggressorAsDefenseTarget"
2) "addFoundTargetAsDefenseTarget"
3) "findNewDefenseTarget"
4) "clearDefenseTargets"
New AI alerts:
1) DEFENSE_TARGET_LOST
2) DEFENSE_TARGET_DESTROYED
3) CASCADE_WEAPON_DETECTED

- Added an AI reactToMassage "STATION_LAUNCHED_SHIP", to allow an AI to react on a launch.
- fixed the missing "shipWillLaunchFromStation" event for NPC ships.
