Round weighting now reduces the chances of repeating a recently played mode (#30522)

* Automatic changelog generation for PR #30056 [ci skip]

* Less Repeated Modes

* Delete AutoChangeLog-pr-30056.yml

* Update configuration.dm

* No need for .sav contingency

* Making it configurable

* Config fixes

* Tested and Working Edition
