feat: anchored-time infrastructure with a save-start anchor in idx v5 (#2585)
## Summary

The save-stability infrastructure consumed by generator v3's `[AnchoredDateTime]`: anchored timestamps are written as **absolute values** and re-based once at load by the elapsed time since the save started — so downtime doesn't age them, and an unchanged entity serializes to identical bytes (the prerequisite for replacing delta-time encodings, which rewrite every entity on every save).

## Design

- **`WriteAnchoredTime` / `ReadAnchoredTime`** on `IGenericWriter`/`IGenericReader`. The read side applies the reader's `AnchoredTimeShift`; `Min/MaxValue` sentinels pass through unshifted, and shifts saturate instead of overflowing.
- **`World.SaveStartTime`** is stamped the moment the world freezes for a snapshot — one anchor for the entire save, no per-persistence skew.
- **idx v5**: the anchor ticks sit in the header right after the version. The anchor travels with the file it re-anchors, so a single idx+bin pair restored from a backup is self-describing, and anchor presence is guaranteed by the same version gate as the record format — there is no separate anchor file to lose.
- **The shift rides the reader instance** (`BufferReader`, `UnmanagedDataReader`, `BinaryFileReader` delegating), not a static — parallel per-persistence loads and ad-hoc restores each see their own file's anchor. idx v4 and older read with a zero shift.

## Scope

Behavior-neutral: nothing serializes anchored values yet (`Item.DecayResetTime` and the `[DeltaDateTime]` field migrations come separately, with their own version bumps). Saves written from this branch are idx v5; loading v4/v3 saves is unchanged and remains pinned by the existing hand-written-header tests.

## Testing

- Unit round-trips: exact with zero shift, shifted read, sentinel passthrough, saturation, Local→UTC normalization.
- End-to-end through the real worker/segment-log pipeline: an anchored timestamp re-bases across a simulated two-hour downtime via the idx v5 header.
- Full suites green: Server.Tests 835/835, UOContent.Tests 708/708 (including the existing v4/v3 idx loading tests).

feat: Updates serialization to use MMF (considerable memory savings) (#1841)
### Summary
Updates the serialization strategy to use `MemoryMappedFile` instead of thick buffers. This has the benefit of being on-par with the current implementation (based on hardware/OS), however won't incur the double-memory issue.

> **Developer Note**
> The `BinaryFileWriter` and `BinaryFileReader` has been removed in favor of `MemoryMapFileWriter` and `UnmanagedDataReader`
