Rec Room UPDATE - the "Look, Ma! My Hands are Reoriented!" edition

[h2]Full Body Avatars BETA Fixes[/h2]

Fixed a bug where full body custom shirts do not appear immediately in the mirror after purchase.
Grabbed objects while using Full Body should now have the same orientation as when using Bean Body, and we restored all original orientations so it should feel just like it did in 2023.
Added a toggle in Miscellaneous Settings to allow players without full body access to still view and purchase full body items.
When seeing your full body on the title screen, during the loading screen, and in the avatar customization menu, your hands will pose and animate similar to how the bean body does.
Fixed a bunch of bad sleeves and skin gaps on the following: Pullover hoodies, Skeleton hoodies, Hoodies, Untucked tee, Tucked tee, Raincoat, Trucker Jacket, Royal Lady/Lord, Turtlenecks, Golfer shirt, Pioneer dress, Mirrored Glasses, Casual Cardigan, Bard shirt, Fortuneteller shirt, Mobster, Retro gamer, Shredder, Hiker shirt, RecFly vest, Cosmic Hero, Oversized Cardigan, Witch Hunter, Animal Sweater, Quarter Zip, Cupid, Male tee.

[h2]Dialogue UI improvements[/h2]

```
italic text
```
)
Fixed dialogue billboarding to properly face the camera
Reordered configure menu to be more configured
Fixed bug where dialogue weirdly snaps when configuring X offset if billboarding is enabled

Fixed bug where Message Animation Finished event didn't fire if the user skipped the text animation
Non-interactable state is no longer semi-transparent
Added two new options for Speech Arrow Position: Top/Bottom Automatic. These decide if they should use left or right arrows based on the Billboard Pivot X Offset
Added two new chips: Dialogue UI Set Billboarding Pivot Offset, Dialogue UI Get Billboarding Pivot Offset. Use these to flip which side of a character a dialogue is on! Also added a new Billboard Pivot Offset Synced option in the configure tool to go with these new chips

[h2]Player Prompt Text & Player Prompt Multiple Choice Chip Updates[/h2]

New "Player Prompt Text" chip in beta - this is an updated version of the old Prompt Local Player chip, which will be deprecated once this new version leaves beta. This version works more like the Player Prompt Multiple Choice chip, using the new UI and the same port layout. There are several more updates to Player Prompt Multiple Choice in this update which also apply to this new chip.
Updates to Player Prompt Multiple Choice:
- Hitting "OK" now closes the watch if the watch was closed when you received the prompt
- Hitting the X button now works the same as hitting the Cancel button
- A warning now shows in the maker pen log if the chip is run while a prompt is already open
- Newly placed chips now immediately pop open the watch by default instead of sending a watch notification. You can switch back to the old behavior with the configure tool, and you can switch old chips to the new behavior there as well.
- Newly placed chips now dismiss the prompt if the player closes their watch after seeing it. You can turn this off with the configure tool, and you can turn it on for older chips there as well.
