1. Allow countermeasures to pulse at regular intervals instead of globally. …

   Adds a new "+Pulse Interval:" countermeasure field that enables the new behavior; all countermeasures that don't have this field defined still use the old behavior of the global frame counter.
   
   This changes countermeasure logic quite a bit, but I attempted to mitigate performance implications by re-using an existing traversal of the object list in order to build the list of active countermeasures each frame. If any countermeasures are actively pulsing in a frame, the object list is traversed again, looking for homing weapons. Each homing weapon then goes through the active countermeasure list and checks to see if it got decoyed. Most of this central logic is unchanged from the old behavior, although no longer separated into two functions, and it should be more efficient since it's using a prepared list of active countermeasures instead of traversing the object list looking for countermeasures for every homing missile (which are themselves found by traversing the object list).
