Add support for inline /act syntax for using actions

[nikolaj-a]

Add support for inline slash-style syntax, specifically /act, for actions.

Also give priority to the action objects instead of the old action functions when using both the old HTML syntax and the new slash syntax.

Examples

[[/act administer-first-aid variant=stop-bleeding dc=25]]

[[/act escape statistic=acrobatics dc=fortitude]]

[[/act grapple]]

Depends on #13043 and #13047

It looks like we'd be better off overriding ChatLog.parse and ChatLog#processMessage

That was my initial attempt. I gave up on that once I basically copied the whole thing and added just another case for the switch in there.

It works, but we’d have to maintain it ourselves since it’s not currently set to be changed in core.

Rough draft for the Style Guide:

Inline Action Syntax

[[/act action-slug key1=value1 key2=value2]]

[[/act grapple]]

[[/act administer-first-aid variant=stabilize]]

[[/act perform variant=acting difficulty-class=19]]

[[/act escape statistic=acrobatics difficulty-class=fortitude]]

Supported parameters

Parameter	Alias	Values	Examples
difficulty-class	dc	number or statistic slug	25 or fortitude
statistic	stat, skill	statistic slug	perception
variant		variant slug	stop-bleeding

What is a "statistic slug"?

A language-agnostic representation of a creature statistic. For most actions the supported statistics are perception, any saving throw, and any skill.

perception
fortitude
reflex
will
acrobatics
arcana
athletics
crafting
deception
diplomacy
intimidation
medicine
nature
occultism
performance
religion
society
stealth
survival

We should have our own helper for this: mind making something like isIntegerString that does a strict regex test?

Sure, but I think it's Foundry providing that Number.isNumeric function. Though I guess it's originally from jQuery.

Alternatively, there is something like Number.isInteger(Number("10")).
