Companions (NPCs) provide general advice (hints)

[nexusmrsep]

Summary

SUMMARY: Features "Companions provide general advice (hints)"

Purpose of change

Hints that were designed to lead new players were only given by one NPC in a Refugee Center. Problem with this is: if you got to Refugee Center its probably mid- or late-game and you don't need much hints anymore at that point.

Describe the solution

• Allowed any companion to provide hints.
• First you need to persuade your Companion, and there is one in 3 chance that your NPC friend will get tired of giving advice and will need to rest for one hour before providing anything more.
• This uses same lock as training, so getting trained by NPC will block the tip option for relevant time, and other way around.

Come on, I just finished moving all that stuff OUT of the C++ code, please don't put it back in.

Please rebase on top of #25432, which has a dynamic_line option for give_hint and flexible dialogue effects for setting effects on the player or NPC. It's up to you if you want add a conditional effect parser or not.

Ugh, sorry. You're absolutely right. I'll wait for when your PR gets merged and apply it then accordingly. Closing for now.
