Autumn '24 Ruleset Update

The Global, Highlander, and Sixes ruleset have all been rewritten to improve general clarity and relevance to modern ozfortress competitions. The vast majority of rules have been consolidated within the Global ruleset with format-specific rulesets only containing, you guessed it, format-related rules.

If any errors or issues are found in the new rulesets, please reach out to me (multi) on Discord (@canyouprovethatimdriving).

A brief summary of notable rule additions and changes are listed below, however, given the scope of the changes, we encourage all players explore the new rulesets in their entirety.
