The editor link: the live scene for an editor #1059
Description
A full mission editor on the editor link, OpenReliant's counterpart of Warthog's Snout (docs/engine/editor-link.md), shows the running mission as it plays. The original's protocol never sends that: the game only tells the editor where the script stopped (0x1A) and whether the first thread has finished (0x1B), and StarLancer's editor kept its own copy of the mission.
What's needed: a message of OpenReliant's own, beside State (0x106), with the objects the mission plays: for each, its slot, type, mission ship, place, orientation, velocity, and its current order and target. A client asks for it, or asks for it every so often, the way Get state works.

Not planned: the editor shows its own copy of the mission, and the game's window is the live view, as with the original's editor. No message is added for it (docs/engine/editor-link.md, Adding a message).
