When a game script is in company mode, it pretends to be another company. When
that company disappear (bankruptcy/merger), the game script still uses that
company and it keeps calling functions as if it is that company.
For example, ScriptEngine::IsBuildable internally dereferences Company without
checks, causing a null dereference for any ScriptEngine function when called
from a company scope of a company that has disappeared.
Guard against this by extending the ScriptCompanyScope::IsValid check to also
check for the company still being active.
Command functions are those that call ScriptObject::Command, and functions
with company access are any that call ScriptObject::GetCompany. This is a bit
over-protective, but having the check everywhere makes it easier to validate
that no check is missing automatically instead of by review.

These are functions that either use ScriptObject::Command or ScriptObject::GetCompany.

At this moment these checks will not do anything useful, as either IsValid or
IsDeity from ScriptCompanyMode returns true, but that will change later.
Direct 1:1 replacements in the code, and comments now refer to either
GSCompanyMode::IsValid or GSCompanyMode::IsDeity instead of several variations
on "company mode active" or "no company mode active".
