Child turret fixes

[Ikreb1]

Implementing the child turrets now in client and found some edge cases that I missed, adding back in the miss queue, clearing target, function for calling controllers on firing effect and add function for applying faction to child turrets

[Copilot]

🟡 Changes recommended

The new/modified SOF faction-material entry points can crash on nullptr factionName, and the new GetMesh() accessor breaks const-correctness by returning a mutable pointer from a const method.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR extends the child-turret implementation to handle missed-shot queuing, target clearing edge cases, controller forwarding to firing effects, and applying SOF faction turret material overrides to child turret mesh areas.

Changes:

• Move/centralize turret firing time variance constant and add target-clearing support in EveTurretTarget.
• Add child-turret Blue-exposed helpers for controller forwarding and hit/miss queue access.
• Add SOF helpers to apply faction turret shader overrides, including a new API to apply faction materials to child turrets.

trinity/Eve/SpaceObjectFactory/EveSOF.cpp:4263

• factionName is used without a null check before calling GetFactionData, which will construct a std::string from the const char* and has undefined behavior if factionName is nullptr. Guard factionName (and keep the existing childTurret guard) before looking up faction data.

	const EveSOFDataMgr::FactionData* factionData = m_dataMgr.GetFactionData( factionName );
	if( !childTurret || !factionData )
	{
		return;
	}
