AGS: Crash when exiting Mage's Initiation

Description

When we start Mage's Initiation and select the Quit option from the game menu, ScummVM crashes with a buffer overflow in

#1 in AGS3::PrepareTextScript(AGS3::ccInstance*, char const**) script.cpp:314

#14 in AGS3::RunGameUntilAborted() game_run.cpp:956

The issue is that in PrepareTextScript it start using more script than allocated in the Globals::_scripts array

	_G(scripts)[_G(num_scripts)].init();
	_G(scripts)[_G(num_scripts)].inst = sci;
	...
	_G(num_scripts)++;

In the original it never use more than one script at a time on this title screen. In ScummVM that is also the case until we click on Quit, and then it starts using more and more scripts until it crashes.

This might have the same cause as #12461.

Thanks for doing the analysis, and pointing out the possible duplicate. It turned out to be that the original has the "quit" method halt the program by calling SDL_Quit, whereas for ScummVM I have to have a bunch of "if (_G(abort_engine)) return -1" in various places to allow a graceful break out of the game loop (since we don't allow exceptions in engines yet). Turns out I needed to add a few more.
