Uniform UI Preview

It's been a couple of slow days of work for me, a combination of scheduling issues and just feeling low energy, but I've got the new uniform management system fully implemented so I thought I would show it off!

The first major change is that company uniforms are no longer explicitly an overwear, underwear, or full outfit set. When you add a uniform it can be flagged to be part of any category it is suitable for. Setting the departments a uniform is valid for is also now much faster, especially if you want a uniform to be used by every department except for one (a process that use to take WAY too many button presses to be practical). Hovering a uniform name shows that uniform on the outfit mannequin, making it much easier to review what outfits are currently set. The "Add Uniform" button brings the user to the standard outfit selection menu, where you can design new outfits if you want as well.

There are a few minor features that I am planning to add, but I want to take a few days to focus on adding some new content for v0.42. First up would be adding uniform definitions as tooltips to the "Full", "Over", and "Under" headers, as well as what the current uniform policy allows. Second would be adding tooltips to the actual selection boxes when they are disabled, explicitly listing the reasons an outfit isn't valid - being over the sluttiness limit of the current policy, or including something form the wrong layer, for example.

I've finally felt Ren'py's screen language "click" while working on this management system, and I'm starting to really understand how to construct reusable components. This helps make the code more readable and maintainable, and lets me reuse work in the future when I need something like "A button that shows an outfit preview". I'm tempted to put some time in and rewrite older screens to reuse common elements, but I think I'm going to save that for a future update cycle to avoid getting bogged down in entirely behind-the-scenes changes.

Up next on my TODO list is to write some new content for v0.42. My focus is going to be on extending the relationships you develop with Lily and Jennifer. The goal is to give you a way to make the relationship more official, in the same way you can ask a girl to be your girlfriend and have extra actions/dialogue related to that.
