DEBUG & MODDING

Added <mixin> to object blueprints, allowing you to inherit and merge the properties of multiple blueprints together.
- Load="Fill" will prioritize properties from the Inherited blueprint, otherwise the mixin has precedence.
- Include="part,stat" can be used to only inherit properties that match a tag name.
- Exclude="tag,property" can be used to only inherit properties that do not match a tag name.
- The mixins will be evaluated from top to bottom, unless a manual Priority="5" is specified.
The Examiner part has been overhauled. Instead of the fields UnknownDisplayName, AlternateDisplayName, UnknownDescription, AlternateDescription, UnknownTile, AlternateTile, and so, there are now two fields, Unknown and Alternate, which take the names of blueprints for objects to derive the unknown and alternate appearances of the item from. The property KeepTile supports the behavior of identifiable furniture where the text appearance changes but the tile does not. Also, the unusual Examiner behavior of tonic injectors is now data-driven and moddable; please refer to the configuration of tonics for more information.
When using the debug option 'Show quickstart option during character generation, pressing the keybind now only works on the first screen.
Autoget is now handled with the AutoexploreObjectEvent. Set E.Want = true and E.FromAdjacent = "Autoget". Users of the AutoexploreObjectEvent should now check the AutogetOnlyMode flag. You should only return "Autoget" (or equivalent) actions when this flag is true.

ObjectBlueprints.xml now logs errors when setting a <part> parameter that does not exist, or if the value can not be parsed.
Added 'findimportant' and 'fetchimportant' wishes.
All XML files are now parsed based on their root element and can thus be reorganized within subdirectories and renamed to anything.
