Thanks!

* Hardened a bunch of methods in EntitySystem against having cross-threading exceptions.
** The original one with an exception reported was GetIsTargetValid().
** Then also fixed another dozen or so. It's a lot of code!

* After completing the above changes, decided that this was still too free-form and not adhering the principles of encapsulation enough.
** Specifically, there were a lot of places in the code that had to worry about if the ParentEntity, TypeData, or DataForMark of a system were missing or wrong, and would try to fix them.
** This has all been taken internal to EntitySystem itself, and other code is now restricted from trying to fix it. It's also more robust in that it keeps even wrong data until it has new non-null data to replace it, which means that we can't get wrong data from this being in the pool and still accessed by some random piece of distant code.
** This change will require all code-based mods to be recompiled at the very least, and if there were and attempts in there to protect against stuff like DataForMark being null by reassigning it, those reassignment bits need to be taken out.
** To modders: even if your code compiles without complaint, be sure to send in the new dll. We changed a number of direct variables into properties, so your dll will update its references appropriately even if you have no code complaints.
** TLDR: yay less code, and it's more self-maintaining. This was becoming a rabbit warren of ongoing bugs over the last week, so it was time to nip that before it kept going.

* Macrophage Histiocytes, Civilian Industries, and AMU have all already been updated, since I had the code to those in the official repository.
