Adds Shadow the Hedgehog as a playable survivor in Risk of Rain 2.

Feature Complete (v0.4.1): Shadow has his own kit, model, animations, sounds and Super form. Requires HedgehogUtils 2.0.0.

About development

I don't have scripting skills, nor the budget to pay a human developer what their time is really worth, so after waiting about two years for someone to make a mod like this, I decided to build it with the tools available to me.

The creative side is human: the logbook entry, the victory and defeat texts, the choice of model, animations and sounds, the skill loadout and visual touches. AI assistance was used for the scripting, skill icons and for guidance on where to find assets (e.g., "is X website safe?"). All credits are listed below.
