This branch will become the start of v0.8, which is focused around adding a numb…er of scoring updates and refactoring the code base to better segregate our backend and front end logic, normalize nomenclature, and de-duplicate code as we march towards a v1.0 release. The scoring updates include: * Switches our scorer to use https://github.com/lightvector/goscorer which does automatic dame detection and proper seki scoring for Japanese rules * Adds support for highlighting locations that need sealing before proper scoring can be done * Alters the toggling of dead stones in the stone removal phase to make it less error prone * Removes the ability to manually flag locations as dame. Moving forward if there is a problem with dame detection, it's considered a bug. * Adds a red X to removed stones for clarity ![image](https://github.com/online-go/goban/assets/168460/ea7eac49-c1b7-4389-88ad-a8eeb014a72e) * Adds support for marking scores and dead stones in analysis and reviews ![image](https://github.com/online-go/goban/assets/168460/3cb3909e-d21e-431f-b0a7-ceb5ac2a8db5) ![image](https://github.com/online-go/goban/assets/168460/09b51bcc-472c-41bc-9ffd-cfcf628a1994)
