Release notes

This PR removes the modelId column from creature table to allow us to move to a dual entry spawn system.

If this causes an issue for in game or custom spawns the following line of SAI can update the modelId.

(#entryorguid,0,0,0,11,0,100,0,0,0,0,0,0,3,0,#modelId,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"Creature Name - On Spawn - Change Model to #modelId"),

Special thanks to @Shin @Kitzunu @M'Dic for assistance.

4.0.0-dev.6 | Commit: 59a3912a3b3bd4dd2d8e2b1c2cdd225b9c4d6244

Changed

• New options for loading scripts static dynamic minimal-static minimal-dynamic #5346

dynamic - Build dynamically. After start support Dynamic Linking Library (DLL) can make separated library for each script. Now don't support
minimal-static - builds commands and spells statically
minimal-dynamic - builds commands and spells dynamically. Now don't support

• Also the default value which is provided by the SCRIPTS variable is overwriteable through the SCRIPTS_COMMANDS, SCRIPTS_SPELLS... variable.
• Each subdirectory contains it's own translation unit now which is responsible for loading it's directory
• If module using deprecated script loader api, you get error message.

> Module (mod-ah-bot) using deprecated loader api

How to upgrade

• For most modules, the `CMakeLists.txt' file is no longer needed
• Need change script loader file.

1. Rename extension in file to `.cpp`
2. Rename general loading function to `Add(module name with replace all whitespace to '_')Scripts()`.
3. Delete macros `AC_ADD_SCRIPT_LOADER` from `CMakeLists.txt`

• Example loader script for modules:

/*

 */

// From SC
void AddSC_ServerAutoShutdown();

// Add all scripts
