Kelsi b2b84139aa feat(pipeline): add WCRT (Wowee Creature Template) format
Novel open replacement for the AzerothCore-style
creature_template SQL table PLUS the Blizzard
CreatureTemplate / CreatureFamily / CreatureType.dbc trio.
The 14th open format added to the editor.

This is the canonical metadata side of creatures shared
across every spawn instance: HP, level range, faction,
behavior flags, NPC role bits (vendor / trainer /
quest-giver / innkeeper), base damage, equipped gear
references.

Cross-references with the previously-added formats:
  WSPN.entry.entryId    -> WCRT.entry.creatureId
  WLOT.entry.creatureId -> WCRT.entry.creatureId
  WCRT.entry.equipped*  -> WIT.entry.itemId

The 4-format set (WIT + WLOT + WSPN + WCRT) now lets a
content pack define a complete RPG zone's creature
ecosystem: what creatures are, where they spawn, what they
drop, and what gear they carry — entirely in open formats
with no SQL dependencies.

Format:
  • magic "WCRT", version 1, little-endian
  • per entry: creatureId / displayId / name / subname /
    minLevel..maxLevel / baseHealth + healthPerLevel /
    baseMana + manaPerLevel / factionId / npcFlags /
    typeId / familyId / damageMin..Max / attackSpeedMs /
    baseArmor / walkSpeed + runSpeed / gossipId /
    equippedMain + equippedOffhand + equippedRanged /
    aiFlags

Enums:
  • TypeId:   Beast / Dragon / Demon / Elemental / Giant /
              Undead / Humanoid / Critter / Mechanical
  • FamilyId: Wolf / Cat / Bear / Boar / Raptor / Hyena /
              Spider / Gorilla / Crab (for Beast types)
  • NpcFlags: Vendor / QuestGiver / Trainer / Banker /
              Innkeeper / FlightMaster / Auctioneer /
              Repair / Stable
  • Behavior: Passive / Aggressive / FleeLowHp / CallHelp /
              NoLeash

API: WoweeCreatureLoader::save / load / exists /
findById; presets makeStarter (1 innkeeper),
makeBandit (creatureId=1000 matches WSPN/WLOT bandit
references, equips WIT itemId=1001 sword), makeMerchants
(creatureIds 4001/4002/4003 match WSPN village labels).

CLI added (5 flags, 493 documented total):
  --gen-creatures / --gen-creatures-bandit / --gen-creatures-merchants
  --info-wcrt / --validate-wcrt

Validator catches: creatureId=0, duplicates, level=0,
minLevel>maxLevel, baseHealth=0, damageMin>damageMax,
attackSpeed=0, non-positive walk/runSpeed, behavior flag
contradictions (passive+aggressive), vendor with
aggressive behavior (player can't trade).
