Fixes

[]Toggle Scripts Command Fix (default: enabled)
The toggle scripts console command pauses all scripts, but doesn't persist when doing the save action or stack dumping (aka scripts get unpaused). This fixes that.
[]Negative Script Page Allocation Fix (default: enabled)
Fixes the Papyrus Engine unintentionally allocating memory with a negative page size in some circumstances.[]IsHostileToActor Crash Fix (default: enabled)
Fixes a vanilla bug where the game CTDs when passing in a NONE object to the script function Actor. IsHostileToActor().
[]Fix delayed script breakage (default: enabled)
Fixes scripts completely breaking if they have non-existent soft dependencies (basically fixes this long known bug: https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/6957326-multiple-mods-with-soft-dependency-to-the-same-resource/). If you use resaver and notice some scripts having missing data in your save after using this fix, those were the scripts that were broken by this vanilla bug the whole time. The fix restores the functionality, but can't restore the missing data without a fresh save.
