Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.08.31.0

TWEAK:
- Blade bashing, if you hit the weak (upper) part of the blade, is possible only if you hit it with the strong (lower) part of the blade (up to this point, it was even weak vs weak, which was not quite realistic)
- Blade bashing, if you hit the weak part of the blade, is possible:

a) when the opponent is strafing or moving forward. It's not possible when he is standing still or backing up. This is to simulate worse focus and guard structure in those cases. This doesn't apply to rapiers, which can always be bashed down by hitting their top part.

b) when our opponent is not facing you directly (when you flank him more than 24 degrees). In this case, the weak area becomes much larger.

- thinner blade edge hit detectors for more precise hit detection
- Blade bashing option is now "on" by default

FIX:
- The additive wrist bend animation, when your blade is bashed down by hitting it's weak part, will not play if you are in the middle of your attack.
- Fixed a bug in some characters that turned off the weak part of the blade hitboxes, when other than sharp weapons were chosen
- Barabasz: fixed a Long Guard spamming bug in AI level 3

Hellish Quart pre-alpha v.2024.08.30.0

TWEAK:
- Jacek: redone some basic attack animations, so they better fit the game's mechanics
- Bashing through the weak part of the blade mechanic is now off by default (doesn't apply to rapiers). Reasons: it's mostly out of player's control. You can turn it back on in Options if you wish.

FIX:
- Zera: fixed a bug where "Go Around" move would not trigger
- Zera: additional colliders for his Cloth to fix intersecting with his legs

NEW:
- Laszlo: new special attacks
