- No more automatic combat -> threat promotion. This matches anecdotal retail behavior - spells already in transit will not cause mob to chase you if its primary target vanishes before the spell hits.
- Prevent mobbing by stopping creatures from auto-acquiring a nearby target just because the primary target vanished.
This fixes an exploit where creating the reference as offline (by vanishing while a spell was mid-flight) you could damage a creature further without it ever engaging you.
Also, some anti-annoyance treatment for dot tele.

- Triggers can no longer have a threat list (this may expose some ugliness in old legacy scripts)
- Threat entries are forced to OFFLINE if the AI refuses to attack the target
- Clean up passive creature evade behavior to be more consistent
- Fix a months old issue in spawn group management that would cause "Inactive" to incorrectly show in .list respawns for system groups outside of map 0
- Valithria script cleanups, remove old hacks and make it work with the new system. Closes#21174.
- Some strings cleanup

- PvE combat is now always mutual. UNIT_FLAG_IN_COMBAT is backed by actual references to the units we're in combat with.
- PvP combat is now also tracked, and almost always mutual; spells like Vanish and Feign Death can break this rule. That means we can easily determine a list of players we're fighting.
- By extension, IsInCombatWith now has sensible behavior when invoked on nonplayers.
- Threat and combat systems are no longer the same.
- They still have an enforced relationship (threat implies combat - clearing combat clears threat)...
- ...but we can have combat without threat. A creature (with threat list) isn't considered to be engaged until it has an entry on its threat list...
- ...which means we can now faithfully replicate retail engage behavior. Combat on projectile launch - engagement start on projectile impact. Yay for progress!
- AI method refactor, as already ported in 6113b9d - `JustEngagedWith`, `JustEnteredCombat` and `JustExitedCombat`.
- Vehicle threat is now properly pooled on the main vehicle body (fixes#16542).
- Various edge case bug fixes for threat redirects (Misdirection "cancelling" Vigilance and similar).
- Target re-selection is now significantly faster.
- Fixed a ton of other smaller edge case bugs, probably.
Closes#7951 and #19998.
Also change a very ugly hack in GetDialogStatus. Ew.
