weapon SPEC AUDIT: the fleet's authored numbers in one pass -- missile delivery fully reconciled

"do we need to audit every possible weapon independently?" -- one dump answers
all of them.  [wspec]/[wspec-msl] (BT_SPEC_LOG) print every weapon's AUTHORED
damage/recycle/range/heat + missile count and post-divide per-missile at build.

THE KEY DISCOVERY: the catalog's FULL-NAME loadouts (madcat, thor, avatar,
sunder, vulture, loki, blkhawk, owens) author DIFFERENT weapons than the
4-char variants (mad1, thr1, ...) -- and the named ones are what players fly.
Every night-9 field number reconciles exactly:
    madcat/thor LRM15 = 50 total -> 3.33/missile (field: 3.33, bursts 3..15)
    avatar/sunder LRM10 = 35     -> 3.50          (field: 3.50, bursts 2..10)
    vulture LRM20 = 65           -> 3.25          (field: 3.25, bursts 5..20)
    loki SRM4 = 35               -> 8.75          (field: 8.75, bursts 1..4)
Missile delivery is FAITHFUL across the real fleet: per-missile = authored /
count (divide confirmed live post-ctor), delivered total = per-missile x the
binary's Random(n)+n/4 roll = 25..100% of listed, zone-scattered.

The "80+ point hits" recollection fits the data as an ALPHA: madcat full alpha
= 50 + 25 (AFC100) + 6 + 2 = 83.  A single 4.10 salvo cannot exceed 65
(vulture LRM20).  The "3-5 points" reports read our [projectile] IMPACT
per-missile diagnostic as a total.

Also: bac1 is not a valid vehicle (unhandled AV at btl4+0xac4cd on spawn --
noted for a guard someday); wspec-msl now prints AFTER the ctor divide.
