fix(font): bundled font now actually renders, ship Inter Light, +CJK fallback

Plugin.cs:937 only pushed RegularFont when Config.FontsEnabled was true.
  FontsAndColours.cs:50 forces FontsEnabled=false whenever UseHellionFont is
  enabled (to hide the chooser UI), so the bundled-font path was silently
  dead and the FFXIV Axis game-font took over. Exo 2 looked "almost right"
  because it overlaps Axis on basic Latin, so the regression went unnoticed
  for the entire v1.5.x series.

  The fix routes RegularFont through draw whenever either FontsEnabled or
  UseHellionFont is on. First-frame HITCH dropped from ~74 ms to ~20 ms
  median (5-reload Linux/Wine sample 17.9-23.6 ms) as a side effect — the
  v1.5.1 "too optimistic" defer-pattern hypothesis was actually a symptom
  of this bug, not bad math.

  Font-stack overhaul on top:
  - Inter Light (Static 18pt-Light, 343 KB, SIL OFL 1.1) replaces Exo 2 as
    the bundled font. Inter ships full Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic
    and Cyrillic Supplement coverage.
  - NotoSansCjkRegular added as a third merge layer for Hangul,
    Simplified-Chinese-specific Han glyphs, and CJK fallbacks the FFXIV
    Japanese font does not ship.
  - Two new ExtraGlyphRanges flags (LatinExtended, Greek) implemented via
    AddChar pair lists in SetUpRanges.
  - Settings.Apply auto-activates the matching ExtraGlyphRanges flag on
    language change. Plugin.LoadAsync runs a one-shot migration that ORs
    in the required flag for an already-selected language.
  - ExtraGlyphRanges CollapsingHeader reachable regardless of
    UseHellionFont (was hidden in the early-return branch).
  - New WarningText below the language combo: FFXIV's chat engine only
    fully supports EN/DE/FR/JA. Other scripts render in the HellionChat
    UI but may garble in in-game chat input/send.

  Localisation wave (originally a FR-only cycle):
  - 24 selectable UI languages. LanguageOverride enum gains 10 new locales
    plus 3 previously commented-out (Italian, Korean, Norwegian with ISO
    code `nb` instead of `no`). All new values append to keep existing
    user-config integer serialisation stable.
  - Resource bundle split: HellionStrings.resx (24 locales, 328 keys) for
    fork-added strings, Language.resx (24 locales, 456 keys) for the
    ChatTwo-Crowdin-heritage. 4 post-sync Crowdin keys backfilled into
    13 legacy locales with per-key AI-assisted comment marker.
  - Em-dash sweep on EN source plus 18 translations. Russian and Ukrainian
    keep their typographic norm.

  Old HellionFont.ttf + HellionFont-OFL.txt removed; Inter-Light.ttf +
  Inter-OFL.txt take their place. Configuration field UseHellionFont keeps
  its name for backwards-compat. Migration v17 stays.

24 Sprachen, Inter Light statt Exo 2, HITCH 74 → 20 ms	Localisation + Font-Stack

24 wählbare UI-Sprachen. Aus dem ursprünglich nur als FR-Lokalisierung geplanten Cycle ist eine breite Welle geworden: Catalan, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norsk bokmål, Polish, Portuguese (BR), Portuguese (PT), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese. Dropdown sortiert alphabetisch nach Endonym, „None" oben angepinnt. Nicht-native Übersetzungen sind AI-assisted und für Community-Review im Forge-Discord markiert.
Inter Light statt Exo 2 als bundled Schrift. Plus NotoSansCjkRegular als dritte Merge-Schicht. Damit deckt der Stack Latin Extended-A/B, Greek polytonic, Cyrillic Supplement und CJK (inkl. Hangul, Simplified-Han nach Reform) ab — die nicht-vanilla-FFXIV-Sprachen waren mit Exo 2 nicht lesbar.
HITCH 74 → ~20 ms als Side-Effect. Der UiBuilder-First-Frame-Lag lag seit v1.4.x stabil bei 74 ms; v1.5.1 wollte ihn in Richtung 7 ms ziehen, fiel als „Hypothese zu optimistisch" durch. Echter Grund: Plugin.cs:937 push'te RegularFont nur wenn FontsEnabled true war — die „Mitgelieferte Schrift verwenden"-Logik setzte FontsEnabled = false mit, der bundled-Pfad war die ganze v1.5.x-Reihe tot, FFXIVs Axis-Font übernahm und kostete ~50 ms extra. Fix routet RegularFont jetzt auch über UseHellionFont. Median ~20 ms im 5-Reload-Stresstest (17.9-23.6 ms, Linux/Wine; Windows-Baseline steht aus).
Glyph-Ranges aktivieren sich automatisch beim Sprachwechsel plus eine One-Shot-Migration für User die schon eine non-Latin-Sprache eingestellt hatten. Neue WarningText unter dem Sprach-Dropdown weist darauf hin, dass FFXIVs Chat-Engine offiziell nur EN/DE/FR/JA-Glyphen rendert — andere Schriften können in der Game-Eingabe Garbled-Output zeigen.
Unter der Haube. Drei-Layer-Font-Stack, zwei neue ExtraGlyphRanges-Flags (LatinExtended, Greek), LanguageOverride-Enum wächst um zehn Locales plus drei reaktivierte (Italian, Korean, Norwegian mit nb). Append-only damit User-Configs stabil bleiben. Migration v17 bleibt.
