Add ArchipelagoXIV Client

[silasary]

This has had like a year of testing, but I was never quite happy enough with the new user experience to PR it here.

I'm finally at that point 😀

This is a Client for the Archipelago Multiworld Randomizer, and provides a Key-Item-Randomizer experience for XIV players.

The github readme gives a general overview, but kinda assumes you already know what a randomizer is.

Sorry in advance for how complex this thing is 😅

Updated plugin. It bumps Archipelago.MultiClient.Net to the latest version, and added a couple small features (Deathlink - Optional setting that when you die everyone dies) and made the text chat respect colours sent down the line.

Sorry, can you provide more information what this does? We know what a randomiser is, but we don't know how it's been applied to the game here 😅

We'd appreciate an explanation of both what the client and the server do - how is the game experience impacted, and is it noticeable to any other players?

Quick little video walking through everything (I hope): https://youtu.be/mZc27ZoroDI

Slightly longer (90 minutes) full playthrough of a 340 player multiworld: https://youtu.be/3iStgI3Ooqk

Brief explanation of parts:

• Server handles all state, communication between different players and games.
• Client displays custom HUD and reports when the player does things.
• Gameplay is entirely unaffected, no hard limits are applied to the user. If something is "Out of Logic", it just won't report the completion to the server.
• Nothing is noticeable to other players, with the exception of a possible pokeball if the initial websocket connection is a bit laggy. (They may question why you're farming FATEs in Stormblood zones though 😛)
