AI Flag to help better predict switches and react accordingly

Description

AI_FLAG_SWITCH_IN_AWARE

A flag that helps the AI consider the player's likely switch-ins and pick moves accordingly

(e.g. the player has a mon out that is about to be KO'd by Earthquake, but also has Gligar in the back. AI will have a chance to use Ice Beam over Earthquake if this flag is set, even if Ice Beam will not KO the current mon)

I see this flag doing the following:
0) this flag does not do anything if the player's mon is trapped/cannot switch

1. a score penalty for moves that the player has a mon with an immunity to
2. a (smaller) score penalty for moves that the player has a mon with a 4x resistance to
3. a score bonus for moves which are not resisted by the player's party
4. a further score bonus for moves which are supereffective on the player's party/would KO switch ins
5. a score bonus on stat-raising moves if using one would improve the situation vs the rest of the player's party and AI has a fast kill on current mon

(eg: I could KO the current mon, but the player could switch in a resist. If I dragon dance, I can sweep the player's team, therefore dragon dance)

Essentially, the goal is to make it harder for the player to abuse predictable AI - to make the AI behave more like your typical Showdown player rather than a bot.
