`teamLength`, `maxLevel`, `cupLevelLimit`, and `minSourceGen` no longer
exist as properties of `Format`. Instead, they're value rules that
become properties of `RuleTable`, and can be specified as custom rules
and inherited through rulesets like anything else.

Previously, the validator had its own hardcoded tag system. This
removes the hardcoding and makes it so any pokemon tag in `tags.ts`
can be banned or unbanned.
This is the change that renames:
- `Dex.getMove` -> `Dex.moves.get`
- `Dex.getAbility` -> `Dex.abilities.get`
- `Dex.getItem` -> `Dex.items.get`
- `Dex.getSpecies` -> `Dex.species.get`
- `Dex.getEffect` -> `Dex.conditions.get`
- `Dex.getNature` -> `Dex.natures.get`
- `Dex.getType` -> `Dex.types.get`
- `Dex.getFormat` -> `Dex.formats.get`
In addition, some other APIs have been updated:
- `getByID` methods have also been added to every other table.
- `Dex.moves.all()` now gets an array of all moves
- Plus equivalent methods for `abilities`, `items`, `species`, `formats`, `natures`, `types`
- Note: there's no `Dex.conditions.all()`
- new API: `Dex.stats` for naming/iterating stats
- `Dex.getEffectByID` -> `Dex.conditions.getByID`
- `Dex.getType` -> `Dex.types.get`
- `Dex.data.Formats` -> `Dex.data.Rulesets`
- `Dex.formats` -> now an array `Dex.formats.all()`
- `Dex.getRuleTable` -> `Dex.formats.getRuleTable`
- `Dex.validateFormat` -> `Dex.formats.validate`
Team functions have been split off into a new `sim/teams` package:
- `Dex.packTeam` -> `Teams.pack`
- `Dex.fastUnpackTeam` -> `Teams.unpack`
- `Dex.generateTeam` -> `Teams.generate`
- `Dex.stringifyTeam` -> `Teams.export`
`Teams.export` has also been rewritten to better match how it works in client.
This implements #8178
Earlier today, I tried to remove the hardcode for Smeargle without
realizing what it was for (Smeargle gets Spore as an event move, which
shouldn't override its ability to Sketch Spore).
It turns out, 7 years ago when I added the Smeargle hardcode, I wrote
a TODO to fix it which I never got around to:
2e1ab04eb6
Anyway, this commit fixes it properly.
Not having prefer-const on the JS side makes JS -> TS refactors really
unreadable. This commit just auto-fixes it so we're using
`prefer-const` everywhere.
Previously, format bans/unbans were processed in order of "most specific
to least specific".
So `+Giratina-Origin` trumps `-Giratina` trumps `+Uber` trumps
`-All Pokemon`.
And nonstandard reasons (`Unobtainable`, `Past`, `CAP`, etc) were
slotted between `Uber` and `All Pokemon`.
This has the unfortunate effect that if a base ruleset allows a certain
normally-banned category of Pokémon, you can't use `-All Pokemon` to
whitelist a list of Pokémon.
Moving nonstandard reasons to lowest precedence once again allows
`-All Pokemon` to be used as intended.
Custom rules can now use whitelists instead of blacklists.
Whitelist rules look like:
`- all moves, + Metronome`
(Metronome Battle does not use this ruleset currently, because its
scripted check displays a better error message than a whitelist rule,
which can't actually display the whitelist as of the current
implementation.)
PS already tracks which evolution level an egg move or event pokemon
learns a move from, but apparently this was not tracked for DW moves.
This fixes a compatibility interaction between DW Marill and Azurill
moves.
This happened because the father checker was simplistic enough
that it didn't think to check Duskull for Pain Split, since
Dusclops learns it in future gens.
