Experiment with replacing weakrefs in AI blackboard with deleting signals, ideally making it easier to work with and harder to cause hard deletes (#74791)

Browse Source 
## About The Pull Request

Replaces weakref usage in AI blackboards with deleting signals

All blackboard var setting must go through setters rather than directly

## Why It's Good For The Game

This both makes it a ton easier to develop AI for, and also makes it
harder for hard deletes to sneak in, as has been seen with recent 515
prs showing hard deletes in AI blackboards

(To quantify "making it easier to develop AI", I found multiple bugs in
existing AI code due to the usage of weakrefs.)

I'm looking for `@Jacquerel` `@tralezab` 's opinions on the matter, also
maybe `@LemonInTheDark` if they're interested
