This is a combined PR for assorted Hollow Knight updates for June 2022 that have cleared testing. It supersedes any HK-exclusive PRs open by myself or @Alchav unless stated otherwise.
Summary of changes below:
* Implement Split Claw, Split Cloak, Split Superdash, Randomize Nail, Randomize Focus, Randomize Swim and Elevator
* Pass options (@Alchav)
* Add support for Deathlink with three different modes (@dewiniaid)
* Add customizable additional shop slots per-shop (@Alchav) and overall (@dewiniaid)
* Overhaul shop cost output to be more generic and account for all locations with standard costs (such as Stag Stations, Cornifer, and Divine) (@dewiniaid)
* Add "CostSanity", allowing random prices using any cost type to be chosen for any location with a cost. (e.g. a Stag station requiring 15 grubs to obtain an item)
* Item classification fixes (Map and Journal items are fillter, Mask Shards/Pale Ore/Vessel Fragments are useful) (@Alchav)
* Fix Ijii -> Jiji (@Alchav )
* General code quality updates
The above changes are only for the HK world.
* MC: add non-windows install to docs
* MC: better link naming for non-windows doc

* MC: doc change manual forge link to index
By removing the direct link to the version we avoid having to update it all the time and users will have to check the other version numbers for manual installation anyway.

* ror2: remove yaml template from guide and link to player settings page. Add documentation on chat client
* ror2: copy paste the good config description like everyone else.
I brought this up in #super-mario-64, and the minor consensus is that 100 Coins is "possible", the same way Red Coins is possible.
According to a FAQ online, DDD has 106 coins. That means you are still required to get at least 5 of the red coins in order to get the 100 coin star. If we already have a rule stating the Red Coins require the sub to be removed (by reaching Bowser in the Fire Sea), it should apply to the 100 coins as well.
The consensus on it being "possible" was that it requires a very specific triple jump. There is no "Strict" category for this since it isn't caps/cannons-based, but it is extremely unreasonable to casual play. If you want to sequence break it, go for it, but I don't think it should be expected.
* Add stone theme
* Fix h2 color, change rogue-legacy to stone theme (approved by Phar)
* Add stone theme preview to world api.md
* Different stone theme preview to match other images
New option: "Early Secret Area" (Opens a door to the Challenge Area from the start of the game)
New option: Victory Conditions "Mountaintop Box Short" and "Mountaintop Box Long"
New options: Number of Lasers of Mountain, Number of Lasers for Challenge
New option & item: Add some number of "Puzzle Skips", which let you skip one puzzle in the game
Many logic fixes
* Hollow Knight updates:
- Add configurable goals (Any, THK, Siblings, Radiance)
- Change base logic to require Opened_Black_Egg_Temple instead of
requiring 3 dreamers. This is future-proof for transition rando,
where Black Egg might not have been located yet.
- Add combat logic for THK and Radiance on par with Rando4's boss logic,
so itemless HK shouldn't be required.
- Existing completion logic now uses Black_Egg_te
- Add White Palace options
(Exclude, King Fragment Only, No Path of Pain, Include)
- Excluded WP may still be required for King Fragment if Charms are
not randomized
- Simply don't place WP locations that are excluded
- Distinguish between POP locations (required for POP), WP checks (
actual item locations), WP transitions (relevant for future transition
rando), and WP events (logically required to reach King Fragment)
- Many transitions were listed twice. Remove duplicates.
- Sort transitions by scene
- For randomizable locations that have no logical significance when not
randomized, simply skip adding them to the pool entirely for
theoretically faster generation.
* Hollow Knight updates
- Support random starting geo up to 1000 geo.
- Always include locations rather than dropping unrandomized "logicless"
ones, as it is required to best support same-slot coop.
* Options: introduce SpecialRange
* Include SpecialRange data in player-settings and weighted-settings JSON files
* Add support for SpecialRange to player-settings pages
* Add support for SpecialRange options to weighted-settings. Also fixed a bug which would cause the page to crash if an unknown setting was detected.

* OOT: Add note about common issue with lua option in the configuration step
More and more people have issues with connecting with OoT because fresh installs of newer versions of Bizhawk show having "Lua+LuaInterface" selected when it actually loads "Nlua+KopiLua" instead until you toggle between the two options. Hopefully adding this bolded note will help new users avoid this problem in the future.
