Enhancement - Weapons screen - separate targeting of beam weapon and missiles

[pfroud]

Currently, each player ship can only lock-on to a single target which is shared between the beam weapons and missiles.

Is this an intentional limitation?

If not, I propose allowing the beam target to be separate from the missile target.

Copying from Discord discussion: Implementation isn't trivial since it'd mean splitting weapons targeting, which is replicated over the network and used by other systems (cinematic view off the top of my head, AI targeting also). An interface for this would either add significant complexity to Weapons and especially Tactical, or necessitate optional separate weapons screens for beam and missile control as BC uses.

This would be a potentially breaking scripting API change for SpaceShip:getTarget(), which gets some use in HTTP interfaces but is used only in the weapons tutorial among official scenarios.
