Rage should have a turn limit

[m4-used-rollout]

Rage locks the Pokemon into the move and the player is unable to do anything else. Rage has two flaws:

• Rage is Normal Type, meaning using Rage against a Ghost Pokemon could end in a softlock (if the Ghost decides to not use damaging moves)
• Rage has a glitch where if it ever misses, its accuracy becomes 1/256. This means battles could take an indeterminate amount of time if the enemy Pokemon is not dealing damage.

Making Rage check and decrement its PP every turn means the player can never be locked into Rage indefinitely. Boost Rage's base PP to 40 to compensate.

After further thought, I'd rather make Rage work like Freeze: Have an external counter that resets to 25 every time Rage starts and cancels rage when the counter hits zero. This is much closer to the original gen 1 behavior and still avoids being locked.

Point 1: stop the rage lock when the target is immune. This case is only possible against Agatha anyway, when she switches in a ghost after rage is in effect. Don't think anyone else has a team of ghost and non-ghost mix. Point 2: just fix the glitch where its accuracy gets modified every turn.

Lorelei can also lock you because her lead Dewgong knows Rest. Player Rage + Enemy with Rest = softlock.

I don't want to fix the accuracy glitch. I want to keep all gen 1 mechanics as intact as possible. Making Rage time out after 25 turns like Freeze now does prevents all softlocks without fixing any of the broken mechanics.
