feat(drop): overhaul item drop engine for strict 1.13c assembly parity (Fixes #412, #413, #414, #415, #416, #417, #418, #419, #420, #421, #422, #423, #424, #425, #426, #427, #428)

- M1 (#412, #413, #414): Embed canonical DifficultyLevels.txt (RAW_DIFFICULTY_LEVELS), remove DEFAULT_DIFFICULTY_LEVEL_ODDS and synthetic rollDrop dead code, and enforce fail-fast monsterLevel/TC validation in GameEngine.
- M2 (#415, #416, #417, #418): Add 'boss' to MonsterRank (monsterType = 4), enforce Champion (+2) and Unique/Minion/SuperUnique (+3) mlvl modifiers, wire equipped Magic Find with 1.13c diminishing returns, and wire /players N NoDrop scaling.
- M3 (#419, #420, #421, #422): Spawn physical ground gold piles with 3-tier flpgld sprites and 10,000*level inventory capacity, gate drops on DT->DD death animation frame completion, trigger base item dropsound at dropsfxframe via AudioManager, and place drops via collision-grounded quadrant spiral search.
- M4 (#423, #424, #425, #427): Remove procedural colored rectangle fallbacks and verify 100% flippy DC6 coverage, apply #808080 gray ground labels for ethereal/socketed normal & superior items, align pickup bounds to 2-subtile collision reach with 2-pass auto-belt potion slotting, and synchronize multiplayer lockstep drops via monster dwInitSeed.
- M5 (#426, #428): Enforce 6-item drop cap per monster for Countess bonus rune TCs, wire Act Boss quest first-kill TreasureClass4 with save persistence, implement rollHellforgeDrop (1 rune + 4 gems), and complete full-spectrum statistical and 136-level verification.
