Previously, there was a confusing separation between script functions that had a "broadcast" argument and script functions that had a "toOthers" argument.
Those with broadcast sent the packet to all players on the server when broadcast was true. Those with toOthers sent the packet to all players other than the packet's attached player.
The former was based on the pattern of the original SendMessage() script function. The latter more closely resembled RakNet's own broadcast argument as seen here:
https://github.com/TES3MP/CrabNet/blob/master/include/raknet/RakPeer.h#L219
This commit makes it so all sending functions have a sendToOtherPlayers argument that is false by default and a sendToAttachedPlayer that is true by default. This should simultaneously allow sending to be more intuitive, while not breaking previous existing scripts to a significant degree.
Additionally, this commit also reduces some code repetition for all instances of packet-fetching in script functions.
Add serverside script functions for determining the killers of both players and actors.
Use unsigned ints for script functions returning an object or actor's refNumIndex or mpNum.
Remove updateDeadState() from LocalPlayer and make its code part of updateStatsDynamic() for simplicity.
Previously, whenever a single attribute value changed for a player, that player then sent a PlayerAttribute packet with all values for all 8 attributes.
This did not cause anywhere as much packet spam as PlayerSkill used to, but there was no good reason not to fix it as well.

Previously, whenever a single skill value changed for a player, that player then sent a PlayerSkill packet with all values for all 27 skills, plus the player's progress towards the next level and the bonuses to each attribute on the next level up as the result of sklll increases thus far.
This commit makes PlayerSkill contain only the values of specific skills, moves the player's progress towards the next level to PlayerLevel packets, and moves the bonuses to each attribute on the next level up to PlayerAttribute packets.
Players now also send a PlayerSkill packet whenever their progress towards a new point in a skill changes. This was previously avoided so as to not have massive packet spam.

Previously, charGenStage.end was doing double duty as both the variable indicating the number of CharGen stages and – when set to 0 – the variable indicating that CharGen was over. The latter role is now filled by a new boolean.

There's no way SetAttributeModifier() was going to make sense if, say, a player had drunk 3 different potions fortifying the same attribute and was wearing equipment fortifying it as well. How would one change the sum modifier of those while accounting for each specific effect's duration and magnitude?
The only workable solution is to allow the server to clear the modifier.
