fix: Drastically simplifies regions (#1400)

### Summary
- [X] Gets rid of the Dtos
- [X] Simplifies the json serializer registration
- [X] Adds a custom `RegionByName` JsonConverter that can look up other regions that have already been registered.


### BREAKING CHANGE
1. **Child regions must appear after their parents in the JSON file**
2. In the regions json file, _"Parent"_ can no longer be just a string. It must be an object that includes the map.
      - ```json
        "Parent": { "Name": "Britain", "Map": "Felucca" }
        ```
