[1.21.4] Encourage more usage of IConditionBuider

[ApexModder]

This PR aims to encourage modders to make more use of IConditionBuilder rather than constructing condition instances themselves

this is done by

• patching DataProviders which support conditions to now implement IConditionBuilder making all of its helpers freely available to all inheritors.
• adding a static of method allowing users to construct an instance in places where they do not have a DataProvider or can implement it themselves.
• deprecating and moving all shortcut constructors into ICondtionBuilder
• deprecating the old TRUE/FALSE conditions in favor of the new always/never conditions
