v2.6.4.0

New:
o Hollow Golem - expands the boundaries of golemancy by anchoring condensed magical energy to an empty suit of armor. The hollow golem can rival the strongest mages in raw magical potential, but are heavily dependent on magical items to focus its power.
o Mod options for golems (accessible from the mod options menu)
- show frame at dormant position while golem is active
- show golems on the colonist bar
o Golem abilities menu - toggles which available abilities a golem is allowed to use
o Inspirations can be used as requirements for abilities (see empath harvest passion ability)
o Weapon category names and weapon defnames can be used as ability requirements
o Custom classes may deny the class access to common abilities (cantrips) using the <canLearnKnacks> and <canLearnCantrips> xml tags (see the shadow custom class example)

o Reworked skill detection in abilities to be more flexible with custom classes
o Golem's remove infections and diseases automatically
o All Golem parts changed to prevent scarring

o Ability need, hediff, mana/stamina etc requirements are now checked individually and all requirements must be met to use an ability; abilities may specify a required condition without specifying a cost
o Hediff chains may be used for abilities requiring a hediff (eg "Hate" hediff) - any hediff defName starting with the same name as the required hediff defName will be recognized as a valid hediff in the chain
o Golem behavior
- will no longer activate if below 10%
- forces golem into dormant state if energy reaches 0
- using the "deactivate" command also undrafts the golem
- melee target no longer changes randomly when undrafted

Bug fixes:
o Fixed a bug with golem upgrade hediffs applying higher buff stages than intended for the upgrade level
o Pawns will drop all carried items before traveling via lightskip
