[Content Patcher] add dynamic tokens

Some of the more complex mods need to repeat conditions a lot. Let players define custom tokens/conditions to make this easier.
Proposed implementation
Let content packs define custom token values with optional conditions (evaluated first-to-last, so later values override earlier ones if both apply):
"CustomTokens": [
{
"Name": "SpriteVariant",
"Value": "default"
},
{
"Name": "SpriteVariant",
"Value": "Spring_Rainy",
"When": {
"Season": "spring, summer",
"Weather": "rain, storm"
}
},
{
"Name": "SpriteVariant",
"Value": "{{season}}_Indoor",
"When": {
"Season": "spring, summer",
"Weather": "sun, snow"
}
}
]Then content modders can replace a mess of repeated patches for every NPC like this:
{
"LogName": "Emily Spring/Summer - Rain",
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Characters/Emily",
"FromFile": "Characters/Emily/Emily_Spring_Rain.png",
"When": {
"Season": "spring, summer",
"Weather": "rain, storm"
}
},
{
"LogName": "Emily Spring/Summer - Indoor",
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Characters/Emily",
"FromFile": "Characters/Emily/Emily_{{season}}_Indoor.png",
"When": {
"Season": "spring, summer",
"Weather": "sun, snow"
}
},With something like this:
{
"LogName": "Emily Sprite",
"Action": "Load",
"Target": "Characters/Emily",
"FromFile": "Characters/Emily/Emily_{{SpriteVariant}}.png"
}
