Adds the Odyssey gamemode. (#18972)

https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/20198-mission-briefing-auroras-gamemode-revolution

To-do:

- [x] Finish storyteller verbs.
- [x] Storyteller landmarks.
- [x] Proper storyteller spawning. Right now the gamemode system is
happy with just picking one storyteller and no actors.
- [x] Antagonist whitelists code.
- [x] Adding the Storyteller whitelist.
- [x] Mission map loading code.
- [x] Map in a bunch of missions.
- [ ] Storyteller adminhelps.
