[Ohrrpgce] [ohrrpgce/ohrrpgce] Plotscripting commands to change global text strings (#118)

[Ralph Versteegen]

Mike actually added a `get global string` command in 2005 for Rusalka, but it's completely undocumented, noone has ever used it, it's unusable without a list of constants, and therefore at some point I commented it out of plotscr.hsd.

Global strings are stored in a table with no max length information available. We could add a `set global string` command which the the max allowed length encoded in the constant (eg offset 120 max length 20 -> 12020), and if you pass it an invalid constant you would break stuff, but as long as there are no overflows and it doesn't crash I guess that doesn't matter.
