Existing `get`/`set` logic is flawed in that it doesn't work on Big Endian operating systems, and it allocates heap objects when it doesn't need to.
`System.Buffers.Binary.BinaryPrimitives` in the `System.Memory` NuGet package provides both Little Endian and Big Endian methods to read and write data; all the `get`/`set` operations have been reworked to use this new API. This removes the need for PKHeX's manual `BigEndian` class, as all functions are already covered by the BinaryPrimitives API.
The `StringConverter` has now been rewritten to accept a Span to read from & write to, no longer requiring a temporary StringBuilder.
Other Fixes included:
- The Super Training UI for Gen6 has been reworked according to the latest block structure additions.
- Cloning a Stadium2 Save File now works correctly (opening from the Folder browser list).
- Checksum & Sanity properties removed from parent PKM class, and is now implemented via interface.
* Add metadata flagging for values
Allows users to set a minimum importance for the list displayed.
Could probably make this checkboxes within the flags UI.
* Add setting to filter out gen8 block names
Allows users to filter out unwanted low-value property names.

Removes 1.5MB of allocation; we don't need to preserve the encrypted state.
Revise savefile clone operation to use its own constructor, as we need to call the base constructor first (backup file clone...) prior to decrypting.
Expose CryptStaticXorpadBytes as GetDecryptedRawData no longer exists.
More in line with modernizing the codebase with latest c# syntax
improve web-qr decode speed slightly (no linq skiptake)
get money/coin mask without a temporary string (lol performance)
- Settings now stored as json next to exe
- Settings now exposes all legality checking setttings that can be changed
- Slot hovering now can play cries in MGDB/PKMDB/etc, not just the main boxes.
- Enhanced hover text for mystery gifts and encounters that have movesets
- Show recently loaded save files in ctrl-f browser
- Toggle auto-load savefile setting to be none/detect-latest/last-loaded
- Custom extensions & extra backup paths can now be configured directly in the json settings
- Settings editor now uses propertygrid & tabs.
don't use FIPS compliant hashing methods explicitly, no real reason to. hash.Create() will select managed vs csp depending on the framework/core and reg flags.
add >net46 incremental hash logic for swsh
remove static sha256 instance (single threaded overkill)
Further improvements can be made if there's a way to have a union struct (4 u16s, lumped u64) that has a simple 4bit diagonal mirror operation on it. Can be at least twice as fast.
Benchmarking with optimizations shows about 80-90% of the prior time taken, so at least a 10% speed optimization
Rarely used, was fun to try and optimize a little more.
Eliminate bounds checks by accessing/setting the highest element, and only index twice instead of 6x.
Eliminate u16 casts by leaving as int type (same result)
Eliminate temp value caching and instead directly write to storage. (no more _0123).
End result looks neat too, since the >> 0's removed looks like a diagonal, like the nibble rotation :D
