Bug fixes for legacy versions

[TheLimeGlass]

Hello Skripters 👋

Today we're releasing version 2.6.4 which brings out a couple fixes towards Minecraft versions below 1.14

📢 End of 1.12.2 Support

As mentioned in the previous releases, we have decided to drop support for 1.12 and lower (legacy versions) in Skript 2.7.
This means that Skript 2.6.X is the last version that will work with the legacy versions.
Only critical fixes will be backported to 2.6.X.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where if the lifetime value of a firework launch was greater than 127 or less than 0, it would throw an error. (thanks @DelayedGaming)
• Fixed a bug where the offhand tool of player was incorrect in the PlayerHeldItem event. (Get wrong offhand tool in tool change event. #5094 thanks @TUCAOEVER)
• Fixed variable names with long numbers either taking long parsing time, or not being able to compare with another similar number. (Long numbers in list variable index are not working as expected #4729, Fix variable names with numbers containing leading zeros #3929)
• Fixed ExprTimePlayed not working on versions 1.13-1.14 (1.14 Time played expression throws error #4929)
• Fixed VariableString#isQuoted to work correctly, should be returning false for the input string " (with withQuotes=true). (Skript giant error in console and basic events stop working #5149)
• Fixed a bug where the component type of the returned array from ExprEntities not being the return type (e.g. Player), but a generic Entity instead, in the case that the syntax was used with radius, and no entities matched the query. (Entity cannot be cast to class Player unnamed module of loader java.net.URLClassLoader #5124)
• Fixed a bunch of issues relating to conversion for list-modifying expressions.
• Fixed an issue with how EffPotion interacted with patterns for potioneffects and potioneffecttypes (Syntax conflict with potion effect #5117) (thanks @Fusezion)
• Fixed EffBroadcast not working on 1.9.4 (CommandSender.spigot() not present on 1.9.4 when using EffBroadcast #5019)
• Fixed a bug where you couldn't use colons in the ExprParse syntax (thanks @Mr-Darth)
• Fixed a NPE from happening when spawning a falling block without specifying the block type and will default to Stone (Spawn Falling Block throws NPE #5042) (thanks @UnderscoreTud)
• Fixed [on] silverfish enter and [on] silverfish exit events not actually working.
• Changed item serialization with blocks to properly serialize. This means you cannot downgrade your Skript version after this version without losing those variables storing block value data!
• Changed some event-values to return as an ItemStack rather than Skript's own ItemType to avoid some issues. (event-item problem #4109)
• Fixed a bug where Skript couldn't spawn lingering potions in 1.9-1.13 (2.6.3 Can't work on versions under 1.12 #4933)
• Fixed a bug where Skript might not start on 1.11.2 due to enchantment sweeping edge not being registered (2.6.3 Can't work on versions under 1.12 #4933)

• Fixed a NPE when using of %itemtype% syntax in preparing craft event (Could not pass event PrepareItemCraftEvent #4959)
