PokéFinder 4.1.0

Much like v2.5.0 what I have been calling the redesign branch for the last several months is finished. Only two rewrites in 3 years so not too bad I suppose. This redesign adds a bunch of features that I would have loved to see in any RNG tool years ago. This includes things such as directly embedding all static encounters into the program and using the information of the Pokemon so that a user doesn't need to specify things such as gender ratio.

Please note that it is necessary to delete any Gen 5 profiles and recreate them. I changed how I store MAC addresses which will unfortunately cause issues.

Gen 5 Static was temporarily removed as it is not currently ready. It will be released alongside Gen 5 Wild in a future 4.2 release.

Additions:

• Static encounter selection is added for Gen 3/4/8
• Gen 8 Underground (thanks @SteveCookTU)
• Show EC and characteristics when applicable
• Add missing leads
• Gen 4 Safari Zone (thanks @Real96)
• Add next level calculation to IV Calculator
• Support Apple ARM computers
• Support FRLG Unown (thanks @Real96)

Changes:

• Overhauled UI design for many windows
• Various performance increases
• Wild encounter now directly use gender ratio information instead of requiring the user to input it manually
• Use Gen 6+ characteristic across the board

Bugs:

• Fix issue where it wasn't possible to download raid events
