feat: Adds Feature Flag System (#2328)

## Feature Flag System

A runtime feature flag system for dynamically enabling/disabling game systems and blocking specific game elements
without server restarts.

### Overview

Two types of controls:

1. Feature Flags - Named boolean flags that gate entire systems (trading, PvP, vendors, housing, etc.)
2. Dynamic Blocks - Block specific gumps, items, skills, or spells by type

All changes are persisted to JSON, broadcast to online staff, and bypass-able by administrators.

### Predefined Flags
```

```

#### Gump Blocks
```
┌────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│            Command             │                     Description                      │

└────────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

#### Item Blocks
```
┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────┐
│                    Command                     │          Description          │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────────┤
│ [BlockItemUse <typeName|target> [reason]       │ Block item use                │
├────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────────────────┤

│ [UnblockItemContainer <typeName>               │ Remove container access block │
└────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────────────────┘
```
Item block commands create an entry if one doesn't exist, or flip the relevant flag on an existing entry. Unblock
commands only clear their specific flag -- the entry is removed when all flags (use/equip/container) are off.

#### Skill & Spell Blocks
```
┌──────────────────────────────────────┬──────────────────────┐
│               Command                │     Description      │
├──────────────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
│ [BlockSkill <SkillName> [reason]     │ Block a skill        │
├──────────────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
│ [UnblockSkill <SkillName>            │ Remove a skill block │
├──────────────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
│ [BlockSpell <SpellTypeName> [reason] │ Block a spell        │
├──────────────────────────────────────┼──────────────────────┤
│ [UnblockSpell <SpellTypeName>        │ Remove a spell block │
└──────────────────────────────────────┴──────────────────────┘
```

### Architecture

- Static bool classes for hot-path checks (no dictionary lookups): ServerFeatureFlags (Server project) and
ContentFeatureFlags (UOContent)
- Synced automatically by FeatureFlagManager.SyncStaticFlag() when flags change
- Predefined flags loaded from Distribution/Configuration/FeatureFlags/default-flags.json
- Runtime state persisted to Configuration/FeatureFlags/*.json (flags, gump-blocks, item-blocks, skill-blocks,
spell-blocks)
- Admin gump with tabbed UI for managing all block types, per-entry PropertiesGump editing, and pagination
- All staff at AccessLevel.GameMaster+ bypass dynamic blocks; AccessLevel.Administrator+ bypass feature flags
