Golden Weapon Options

[Myth197]

What feature would you like to see?

Add support for golden weapon options:

• Vanilla: Collecting a golden weapon does nothing without the base weapon, they are separate items with the golden weapon as an exclusive upgrade.
• Independent: Collecting a golden weapon gives you the golden weapon, regardless of if you have collected the base weapon yet or not.
• Progressive: Golden weapons and their base weapons are replaced by a Progressive version, with 2 existing in the item pool. Collecting one gives the base weapon, collecting the second one gives the golden weapon.

all 3 options would be possible.
for "independent" there would need to be some way to communicate to the client that it needs to give both items

• When receiving a regular weapon, just set it's flag
• When receiving a golden weapon, set both the regular weapon and golden weapon flags

i was more thinking if we want all 3 options configurable through yaml, there needs to be some config readable.

• progressive: no config needed because we can just remember how many we got so far and act accordingly
• vanilla: no config needed, just give the item the apworld tells you to
• independent: if vanilla is implemented as written above, some config is needed to know: "when gold weapon, also give base weapon"

Personally I am partial to only having vanilla and progressive implemented as that would by far be the cleanest to implement client side. But i can for sure see the appeal some people might have towards independent

Each option selected for the world is outputted in slot data, you can read it from the AP server.
The option to read is "progressive_weapon" (I think, check after I next push my code)
