NPC work log - for debugging and feedback #37300

Summary

SUMMARY: Features "NPC work log - for debugging and feedback"

Purpose of change

Adds a work log that lists NPC behaviour changes and mission changes and activity failures and reasons etc, to aid in debugging and giving feedback to the player.

Describe the solution

I kept promising myself I would add something like this before I added any new features to NPCs, debugging them and working out where they were going wrong was an exercise in frustration, I wanted a proper NPC activity test system too, but I thought something like this would help in that endeavour.

What this does is add a std::deque work log , every change in attitude, mission, activity and certian steps in activities, adds an entry to the log, with timestamp, character id, and a description of what changed, sometimes a tripoint and activity_reason_info too.

If debug mode is on, it lists everything, else, it just lists activity stuff.
Two ways to access it currently - from a basecamp bulletin board ,this will prefilter the log to show just the NPCs that are assigned to work at that camp.

You can also ask an NPC directly to tell you what their work log is, itll prefilter to just that NPC.

[WIP] because its rough, I would like to make it easier to read, prettier, easier to filter from within the window that pops up, perhaps add more categories of event, and ways to access it, so as to extract more relevant information and less filler.

Willing to accept guidance in this, but as it stands currently, its still useful for finding out why Bob failed to remove that vehicle part, or why he suddenly decided his mission was to run away or something, just gives a bit of an insight into their mind.

Describe alternatives you've considered

N/A

Testing

Asked NPC to do various things, assigned them to camp, opened work log, did the smae by talking to them directly.
Did this with debug mode on and off.

Tested save/load cycle to see that serial/deserial worked.

Additional context

Basic UI stuff.

Rebased, cleaned up a bit, tested, working.

Still lots of refinements and additions that could be made to this, but the framework is there and the diff is getting big, as a first pass I consider this ready.

Could you consider also migrating the UI code to use ui_adaptor/ui_manager?

Not familiar with that, and UI is my least favourite thing to do lol, but I'll take a look

+    if( con_idx ) {
+        json.member( "con_idx", con_idx->id() );
+    } else {
+        json.member( "con_idx", -1 );


Suggested change

json.member( "con_idx", -1 );

json.null_member( "con_idx" );

For consistency with how cata::optional is written.
