TRACHEA Update Testbranch #3 (Windows, Mac, Linux)

This is almost all the changes for the upcoming 10 year anniversary update! This is actually far past testing branch #3, I just have been bad at updating the notes this time. Due to this, I'm just updating all the changelog notes in one giant go.

The testing branch is also using retail saves right now, instead of the separate beta saves!

TO ACCESS THE TESTING BRANCH:

Right Click "Death Road to Canada" in your Steam Library
Go to Properties
Click on the Betas tab on the left of the Properties window
Click on the dropdown in the top right, and change the Beta Participation branch from "None" to "beta - TESTBRANCH"

New Personality Archetypes

This is a big one! We haven't done new Personality checks in quite a long time

These are similar to the old ANGRYSTRONG and CALMSHOT checks

AGILE: HIGH FITNESS, HIGH ATTITUDE! HYPERACTIVE! Quick reactions, quite athletic!
TINKER: HIGH MECHANICAL, HIGH WITS! Engineer your way out of things...sometimes!
Each archetype has 8 new interactions with events, for 16 in total! Many old events affected.
Check the library for more details on the archetypes.

New Locations

Forge rare location! Has some new buildings in it. Who could be residing here?
Martial Arts shop, a new city shop location. Some new weapons and upgrades for martial characters! Longbows can also spawn there! Irregularly, but it can happen.

New Weapons

Tonfa & Quarterstaff! Great for early-mid game.
Kama! A powerful throwable!
Wakizashi: breakable but deadly!
Mortar: a gas based grenade launcher! Exotic.

Flails have high cooldowns and can be clunky but they have scaling strength-based damage and can be useful even when tired.
