Add 2014 DMG encounter difficulty calculation

Support the 2014 DMG encounter difficulty as an alternative to the 5.5e system behind the existing Rules Edition toggle. The 2014 system uses Easy/Medium/Hard/Deadly thresholds, an encounter multiplier based on monster count, and party size adjustment (×0.5–×5 range). - Extract RulesEdition to its own domain module - Refactor DifficultyTier to abstract numeric values (0–3) - Restructure DifficultyResult with thresholds array - Add 2014 XP thresholds table and encounter multiplier logic - Wire edition from context into difficulty hooks - Edition-aware labels in indicator and breakdown panel - Show multiplier, adjusted XP, and party size note for 2014 - Rename settings label from "Conditions" to "Rules Edition" - Update spec 008 with issue #23 requirements Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
