[PROJECT] `Cat` Class Rework

Description This involves a rework of Cat. At present, related data is entirely disparate, str is pretty much the de-facto variable type, there are so, so many interconnected dependencies that it kind of hurts my soul, testing the cat itself is really difficult...

Scope of Project Please choose from following list, feel free to give further details:

Large Project (substantial new feature, like a new page for a new purpose)

This is huge. I will be doing this in separate PRs, because I'm not a madman. Ideally, I'd like to have __init__ have a MAXIMUM of 5-7 inputs, but I think that's a pipe dream. The current proposal would have 11, for perspective. I don't need help with this project, I just need to put it somewhere so that everyone can keep track of the proposed changes, what's already implemented and the future of Cat.

What this is NOT:

Not a JSON rework. I'm not touching that with a ten foot rusty spoon if I can avoid it.

Checkmark: merged into development.

Major Changes Summarised

Move Personality to a different file to deal with some other time #2466
Decouple code from unrelated code by appropriate use of nesting, grouping variables by purpose in new classes
Reduce the number of ""helper"" functions in Cat by moving them to the appropriate/related classes
STOP USING CAT TO STORE THE ENTIRE CLAN. Please, we have a Clan class, why is that not what we use for who belongs to the clan?!

Existing variable changes

Functions

(Tracking, moving & removing things from Cat that shouldn't be there)

Keep
- fetch_cat (for now - I'm looking at changing how the cat object list is stored, so this might also go bye-bye)
- add_to_clan() (likewise)
- insert_cat (likewise)
- sort_cats (likewise)
- rank_order (likewise)
- get_save_dict() (finally, a function that genuinely belongs here!)
- get_adjusted_age
- set_faded

Not sure about

generate_lead_ceremony() (only refers to at most one cat in the game, would like this to be in its own class? discuss.)
get_ill (should also be renamed, as "get" generally means retrieve in coding. Perhaps "add_illness"?)
get_injured (as above, perhaps "add_injury")
get_permanent_condition (as above, perhaps "add_permanent_condition")
unset_mate
set_mate
create_one_relationship (belongs to Relationship?)
create_relationships_new_cat (belongs to Relationship?)
init_all_relationships

Delete entirely

additional_injury (this is just a wrapper for get_injured with event_triggered locked to True)
update_mentor() (should just be the @mentor.setter function & combine the following two functions)
__remove_mentor() (unneeded, see update_mentor)
__add_mentor() (unneeded, see update_mentor) Relevant Links Link to Discord chat
