Losses of sectors, ships, planes, land units and nukes are tracked in
the lost file. To keep it current, makelost() and makenotlost() were
called whenever one of these changed owners. Cumbersome and
error-prone. In fact, the lost file was never perfectly accurate.
Detect the ownership change in the prewrite callback and call
makelost() / makenotlost() from there. Remove lost file updates from
where they're no longer needed: right before a put. takeover() is a
bit more involved: it doesn't put the sectors, but all callers do,
except for guerrilla(). So remove the lost file update from
takeover(), but add it to guerrilla().
This takes care of lost file update for all ownership changes that go
through ef_write(). It can't take care of any missing updates for
changes that don't go through it.
The old code used getstarg() to get an argument with a different
prompt than snxtitem() uses, then passed the value to snxtitem()
unchecked. If the player aborts, getstarg() returns a null pointer,
and snxtitem() prompts again. Affected:
* load/lload plane/land third argument; load_plane_ship(),
load_land_ship(), load_plane_land(), load_land_land()
* bomb, drop, fly, paradrop, recon and sweep second argument;
get_planes()
* tend and ltend second and fourth argument; ltend(), tend(),
tend_land()
* mission second argument; mission()
Fix by making snxtitem() taking a prompt argument, null pointer
requests the old prompt.
Use that to simplify multifire() and torp(). Change the other callers
to pass NULL.
other. Ensure headers in include/ can be included in any order
(except for econfig-spec.h, which is special). New header types.h to
help avoid inclusion cycles. Sort include directives. Remove some
superflous includes.

unit_type_name, start_stop_unit, scut, scra, mission, multifire,
perform_mission, fuel, NSC_GENITEM): Replace struct genitem with
struct empobj. Remove genitem.h and create a new file empobj.h.
Replace multiple instances of unions of ef_type structures with
one standard union empobj_storage which is a superset of the individual
instances.

Simplify unit destruction: just zero efficiency, leave makelost()
etc. to the prewrite callback.
I_BAR, I_FOOD, I_OIL, I_LCM, I_HCM, I_UW, I_RAD, I_MAX): Turn macros
into enumeration constants.
(i_type): New. Use where appropriate. No functional changes, except
that I_NONE is now catched properly in a few places.
getvec(). This is safe, because the old code made single copies and
always flushed them back into the unit structures before flushing
those. To do: obey ITEM_MAX.
effect. Replace calls by struct assignment where possible. Replace
clear buffer, copy string to buffer by strncpy(). Use assignment to
clear when that's clearer. Replace overlapping copy through bounce
buffer by memmove(). Replace rest by standard memset() and memcpy().
Also use sizeof() instead of literal array sizes for robustness, and
instead of symbolic array sizes for clarity.
