Interactables Architecture Refactor

Converted composition to inheritance, moved from component-based to class-based interactables. No more requirement for chain of "Interactable -> Item" etc.
Created InteractableBase abstract base class with common functionality that replaces the old component
Specialized child classes: Pickup, ItemSlot, LevelSwitch, MinigameSwitch, CombinationItem, OneClickInteraction are now children classes
Light updates to the interactable inspector, moved some things arround, added collapsible inspector sections in the UI for better editor experience

State Machine Integration

Custom AppleMachine inheritong from Pixelplacement's StateMachine which implements our own interface for saving, easy place for future improvements
Replaced all previous StateMachines by AppleMachine
Custom AppleState extends from default State. Added serialization, split state logic into "EnterState", "RestoreState", "ExitState" allowing for separate logic when triggering in-game vs loading game
Restores directly to target state without triggering transitional logic
Migration tool converts existing instances

Prefab Organization

Saved changes from scenes into prefabs
Cleaned up duplicated components, confusing prefabs hierarchies
Created prefab variants where possible
Consolidated Environment prefabs and moved them out of Placeholders subfolder into main Environment folder
Organized item prefabs from PrefabsPLACEHOLDER into proper Items folder
Updated prefab references - All scene references updated to new locations
Removed placeholder files from Characters, Levels, UI, and Minigames folders

Scene Updates

Quarry scene with major updates
Saved multiple working versions (Quarry, Quarry_Fixed, Quarry_OLD)
Added proper lighting data
Updated all interactable components to new architecture

Minor editor tools

New tool for testing cards from an editor window (no in-scene object required)
Updated Interactable Inspector
New debug option to opt in-and-out of the save/load system
Tooling for easier migration

### Interactables Architecture Refactor - Converted composition to inheritance, moved from component-based to class-based interactables. No more requirement for chain of "Interactable -> Item" etc. - Created `InteractableBase` abstract base class with common functionality that replaces the old component - Specialized child classes: `Pickup`, `ItemSlot`, `LevelSwitch`, `MinigameSwitch`, `CombinationItem`, `OneClickInteraction` are now children classes - Light updates to the interactable inspector, moved some things arround, added collapsible inspector sections in the UI for better editor experience ### State Machine Integration - Custom `AppleMachine` inheritong from Pixelplacement's StateMachine which implements our own interface for saving, easy place for future improvements - Replaced all previous StateMachines by `AppleMachine` - Custom `AppleState` extends from default `State`.
