[IDEA] SyncingRoleEventArgs

[TheLongQuite]

Create SyncingRoleEventArgs. This change will allow you to change the appearance of the player's model without breaking the rest of the role's functionality (unless the user decides to give SCP-939 a player appearance).

It's not the most useful or the most difficult addition, but it would be nice.

(I really want to implement a spy and not monitor how the IL code changes every patch 😈)

Tricky one due to the public/private part of the role spawn data. Any feedback on how to treat that data i.e. ignore it or provide ways to set it would be appreciated.

The basic idea is to ignore cases where 'this._receiverNetId == this._targetNetId`. Otherwise, it is likely that the player will be kicked off the server.

If the RoleTypeId was changed while using EventArgs, we can get the PlayerRoleBase based on the RoleTypeId via PlayerRoleLoader.TryGetRoleTemplate(RoleType, out PlayerRoleBase roleBase) and use it instead of role1 for WritePublicSpawnData.

If I am not silly, the only PrivateSpawnData role will be SpectatorRole, because FpcStandartRoleBase::WritePrivateSpawnData is empty.
