Collision System Rework

The old collision system had obvious weaknesses. Players were stuck on walls, bosses were blocked by Familiars, and melee enemies had difficulty attacking together without getting stuck.

For the current version 1.3.0, I took the time to completely rework the collision system. This benefits both CPU-controlled enemies and familiars, who can now reach their goal more easily, as well as players, who can now slide smoothly past walls and objects instead of getting stuck.

I tested the changes extensively. If you still notice any errors (especially related to collisions), please let me know via Discord or the ZpellCatz Steam Community.
