 Each ship card in the encyclopedia consists of multiple sections, each of
 which consists of one or more text labels, plus the corresponding ship data.
 The card pattern table defines these sections and how they are laid out on
 screen - in other words, this table contains a set of patterns, one for each
 section, that define how to lay out that section on-screen.

 Each line in the table below defines a screen position and something to print
 there. The first two numbers are the text column and row, and the third number
 specifies a text token from the msg_3 table (when non-zero) or the actual data
 (when zero).

 So, for example, the "cargo space" section looks like this:

   EQUB  1, 12, 61
   EQUB  1, 13, 45
   EQUB  1, 14,  0

 which defines the following layout pattern:

   * Token 61 ("CARGO") at column 1, row 12
   * Token 45 ("SPACE:") at column 1, row 13
   * The relevant ship data (the ship's cargo capacity) at column 1, row 14

 The data itself comes from the card data for the specific ship - see the table
 at card_addr for a list of card data blocks. Each section corresponds to the
 same section number in the card data, so the cargo space section is number 7,
 for example.

 As well as the ship data, the ship cards show the ship itself, rotating in the
 middle of the card.
