Rewrites a good amount of legality APIs pertaining to:
* Legal moves that can be learned
* Evolution chains & cross-generation paths
* Memory validation with forgotten moves
In generation 8, there are 3 separate contexts an entity can exist in: SW/SH, BD/SP, and LA. Not every entity can cross between them, and not every entity from generation 7 can exist in generation 8 (Gogoat, etc). By creating class models representing the restrictions to cross each boundary, we are able to better track and validate data.
The old implementation of validating moves was greedy: it would iterate for all generations and evolutions, and build a full list of every move that can be learned, storing it on the heap. Now, we check one game group at a time to see if the entity can learn a move that hasn't yet been validated. End result is an algorithm that requires 0 allocation, and a smaller/quicker search space.
The old implementation of storing move parses was inefficient; for each move that was parsed, a new object is created and adjusted depending on the parse. Now, move parse results are `struct` and store the move parse contiguously in memory. End result is faster parsing and 0 memory allocation.
* `PersonalTable` objects have been improved with new API methods to check if a species+form can exist in the game.
* `IEncounterTemplate` objects have been improved to indicate the `EntityContext` they originate in (similar to `Generation`).
* Some APIs have been extended to accept `Span<T>` instead of Array/IEnumerable
* Revises legality checks to account for traveling between the three game islands (PLA/BDSP/SWSH)
* Adds conversion mechanisms between the three formats, as well as flexible conversion options to backfill missing data (thanks GameFreak/ILCA for opting for lossy conversion instead of updating the games).
* Adds API abstractions for HOME data storage format (EKH/PKH format 1, aka EH1/PH1).
* Revises some APIs for better usage:
- `PKM` now exposes a `Context` to indicate the isolation context for legality purposes.
- Some method signatures have changed to accept `Context` or `GameVersion` instead of a vague `int` for Generation.
- Evolution History is now tracked in the Legality parse for specific contexts, rather than only per generation.
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.
EncounterArea now stores a more specific type'd array for encounter slots. Better iteration and less casting, as the nonspecific `Slots` fetch is rarely referenced.
EncounterType renamed to GroundTile to reflect how it actually works in Gen4. Was previously an ambiguous field that was clarified a little; we can describe it a little better now. Keep the GUI the same to not scare the end users.
Change Trash Byte properties to get/set a Span. Trash Byte legality checking easier on the garbage collector?
Adding setters for Hidden Power caused the IVs to get mutated, same for some other values. The DateTime could return null if undefined.
Used to be Declared only (properties in destination class), but GBPKM has shared Nick/Lang/IV logic.

Just do the GBPKM fixup at the end to copy the remaining properties manually. Set HP type if the conversion was from future 31IV games.
AltForm & Form & Forme => Form
GenNumber & Generation => Generation
Extract out SpeciesForm interface, and re-add IGeneration
For those using PKHeX as a dependency, this should be a pretty straightforward manual replacement... GenNumber and AltForm should be quick find-replace`s.
Introducing a new PKM format: SK2
Split ICaughtData2 off of PK2 so it can be shared with SK2 when type-checks occur
Add conversion for PK2<->SK2
Split the split-buffer handling for GBPKM to GBPKML (what a name), so that I can reuse shared accessor logic for SK2.
* Fix broken hidden power power calculation
* Fix broken Gen 2 Hidden Power calculation
* Add parentheses
* WIP UI
* Finalize UI, only show on gens 1-5
* Inline some logic to reduce allocations
* Add unit tests for both hidden power calculation cases
