802d3fe01f Persistency subsystem update - Generics and history records (#22114)
# Summary

This PR is the next update to the persistency subsystem. The goal of
this PR is to provide more framework like functions to allow more types
of content to be made persistent.

Currently only volatile game objects created during a round can be (*in
a [clean](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZ3ETK7-ZM8) way*) saved and
made persistent. This update attempts to provide methods to make
*everything*¹ persistent.

This introduces persistent generics and history.

## Database

The following things are going to be changed and added in the database  
(open in new tab for better visibility, PNG file includes the drawIO
code):

/>

**Deviations on database implementation from diagram:**  
- Removed unique constraint on history table - Prevented adding multiple
records per round per attribute.

## Framework surface changes

- MC/VV: Moved global object track register to subsystem var space.
- MC/VV: Point of interest: Added history_cache and generic_cache to
subsystem var space.
- MC/VV: Updated subsystem stat entry message, now providing information
on cache sizes of new types.
- Added `singleton/persistent_type` defines (Type, clean-up rules,
finalization hook) and macros allowing new definitions of said types.
- Added cache structures that are also used for returns on public procs
in generics and history persistent types.
- Major new framework features: Persistent history (example: Mining
yield records) and persistent generics (example: Persistent Horizon
overmap position). See documentation for more information.

DrawIO diagram for documentation, includes source in it (open in new
tab):

## Changes

Too many changes to be listed here - Check changelog and actual changes.

## Warning

There are certain use/test cases that *cannot* be tested locally due to
missing preexisting data in the database. This should only affect new
data structures (new persistent types), not existing data.

¹ _Large scale persistent mapping is excluded for this version._
