Adds display name capability for wings, matching the pattern and infrastructure of display names for ships. As in scp-fs2open#7234, wing display names take precedence over ship display names, if both are provided; because if ship display names took precedence, a ship would have the same display name in every wave. All the relevant display locations are handled, including the HUD, escort list, message box, and mission log. Lua API support is provided as well. Adds full support for both FRED and QtFRED, including the always-save-display-names setting. Addresses scp-fs2open#7189 and the last request from scp-fs2open#1730.

New updates look good, I'll approve and then plan to merge in a few days to give other devs time to review if they want, thanks!
