Expressions as Countable (#13218)

* Redefine ICountable.matches, getDeprecationAnnotation is not part of the "engine" character of that interface

* Add a way to mark not-yet-finished Countables

* Add an empty framework for @AutumnPizazz's Expression engine

* Make "which does not fit parameter type" constant for pattern match robustness

* New expression evaluator engine

* Fix countable tests: correct expected failures

* All syntax errors MUST indicate position.
Otherwise, modders can't actually debug.

* Better positions + documentation

* Get rid of functions that modders *should not* be using

* Fix tests given the new changes

* Add modder-visible expression parsing errors

* Revert Countables to current state

* Fix the rest of the damn owl - compilation, not tests

* Fix all tests as well

* Detect countables at parse; Don't crash

* Add error detection for all types of expression errors

* Better documentation

* Countables catches first matching, to avoid parsing known countables as Expressions
