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.
struct implementing interface is boxed when passed to method that accepts interface (not generic method).
Removes IDexLevel (no other inheritors but EvoCriteria) and uses the primitive the data is stored (array, not IReadOnlyList) for slightly better perf.
* Make EvolutionCriteria struct
8 bytes per object instead of 26
Unify LevelMin/LevelMax to match EncounterTemplate
bubble up precise array type for better iteration
* Inline queue operations, less allocation
* Inline some logic
* Update EvolutionChain.cs
* Improve clarity on duplicate move check
* Search reverse
For a dual stage chain, finds it first iteration rather than second.
Nice bug ya got there, gamefreak.
Coulda cleared the AffixedRibbon value instead of copying it on Shedinja creation, and it would have made this unnecessary.
Please ditch the Affixed Ribbon gimmick for future games, thanks!
Relocate the SetRandomEC at the tail end of the generator into the specific classes that set EC, so that our correlation generators don't have their EC overwritten at the end.
## Issue
We want to discard-but-remember any slots that aren't a perfect fit, on the off chance that a better one exists later in the search space. If there's no better match, then we gotta go with what we got.
## Example:
Wurmple exists in area `X`, and also has a more rare slot for Silcoon, with the same level for both slots.
* We have a Silcoon that we've leveled up a few times.
Was our Silcoon originally a Wurmple, or was it caught as a Silcoon?
* To be sure, we have to check the EC/PID if the Wurmple wouldn't evolve into Cascoon instead.
* We don't want to wholly reject that Wurmple slot, as maybe the Met Level isn't within Silcoon's slot range.

Existing implementation would store "deferred" matches in a list; we only need to keep 1 of these matches around (less allocation!). We also want to differentiate between a "good" deferral and a "bad" deferral; I don't think this is necessary but it's currently used by Mystery Gift matching (implemented for the Eeveelution mystery gifts which matter for evolution moves).
The existing logic didn't use inheritance, and instead had static methods being reused across generations. Quite kludgy. Also, the existing logic was a pain to modify the master encounter yield methods, as one generation's quirks had to not impact all other generations that used the method.
---
The new implementation splits out the encounter yielding methods to be separate for each generation / subset. Now, things don't have to check `WasLink` for Gen7 origin, because Pokémon Link wasn't a thing in Gen7.
---
## Future
Maybe refactoring yielders into "GameCores" that expose yielding behaviors / properties, rather than the static logic. As more generations and side-gamegroups get added (thanks LGPE/GO/GameCube), all this switch stuff gets annoying to maintain instead of just overriding/inheritance.
## Conclusion
This shouldn't impact any legality results negatively; if you notice any regressions, report them! This should reduce false flags where we didn't defer-discard an encounter when we should have (wild area mons being confused with raids).
Closes#3133
not an ideal solution, but the encounter matching API is kinda limited in deferred-invalid vs deferred-notIdeal.
probably need to unify the match logic and generators so they can cache one secondary-check invalid
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.
Metagross collision with wild beldum
deferral API is kinda crude, hence these janky workarounds. Was originally intended to hold onto close matches when there's no more possible matches to check.
I think a priority-deferral while only retaining a single encounter bad (instead of a list of retries) may work better than the current setup, but that would require more abstraction
Move form-info logic from FormConverter to AltFormInfo; now FormConverter is entirely form=>string[]
Add a bunch of xmldoc
Make pogo no-end-date cmp agaisnt UTCnow rather than local now.
