[*] Bugfix for broken itemproperty: Increased DC by Spellschool

[bsb5652]

Changes pushed live.

[Brumm]

[*] First version of the new difficulty "Season Mode"

What we already have implemented:

- Items that drop for a season mode character will be tagged as season items with a new item property. This property does not have any effect on non-season characters so they can use season items without any restrictions.

- Season mode characters on the other hand can't use or even possess items that weren't found by a season mode character. If you pick up an item that was picked up by a non-season character before the item gets dropped to the ground. If you somehow manage to put non-season items into the inventory of a season character (for example by adding them with the persistent storage before you picked a difficulty mode) the items get destroyed.

- Season characters still have access to the persistent storage system but they can't retrieve non season items from there. For season mode items the storage system works as usual though without any restrictions.

- Bartering between season and non-season characters is not possible.

- Season mode characters get a 15% magic find bonus (this value might be changed later)

- Season mode characters get a 50% gold and XP penalty (these values might be changed later)

What we plan to do:
- Season characters get their own banked XP/Gold/Shards accounts so you can't use non-season XP/Gold/Shards on season characters DONE

- A plan for when and how a season ends and a new season begins. The current idea is to run a season for maybe a year. When the season ends all season items will be converted to be non-season items. Banked XP/Gold/Shards from your season account will be transfered to your non-season account so you start with a fresh season account.

- Season only runewords (season only runewords that were created by a season character can be used by non season characters. They just can't be build by non season characters)

- Season leaderboard (public ranking of season characters by XP maybe with some interesting stats)

- Season leaderboard rewards (rewards for characters that end up in the top 3 of the leaderboard when the season ends)

[*] Season Mode now has it's own banked XP/Gold/Shards account
[*] Bartering is not possible anymore if season and non-season characters are nearby at the same time
[*] Fixed the reduced save item property
[*] Fixed a problem of attribute penalty being stopped by immunity

[Brumm]

[*] Season Mode now provides 5 attribute bonus points

[*] Season Mode characters can now leave the void via the NPC conversation

[*] Slightly changed rune mechanic to prevent season mode exploit
- You can't use runes on items that are not in your inventory anymore.
- Non season runes can't be used on season items.
- If you use a rune in a forbidden way you don't loose the rune anymore but get a notification.
