DESKTOP-8SRFDDM\cam95 b550db3abb rfc: guard the new seams and write RFC 0014
Route B in CONTRIBUTING-mods.md asks an event/hook change for five things.
This adds the two that were missing and fixes what the third turned up.

link.battle_ended built its payload unconditionally. Route B is explicit
that a new event must not allocate when nothing wants it, and every other
emit in the engine already guards -- Runtime.wants now gates this one too,
so an unsubscribed build runs the branch exactly as it did.

world.talk was handing Runtime.call a closure built fresh on every A press,
purely to have a fallthrough to pass. It is a file-local now, so an unhooked
press allocates nothing it did not allocate before.

The RFC covers motivation, the API delta with call sites, migration (nothing
changes for existing mods), and verification. The backward-compatibility
statement is in it: every item is a new name or a new optional argument, and
example_mew_starter -- api 1, category = "GAMEPLAY", whole-species copy --
still loads, which run_modkit proves on every run.

No registry or schema field is added, so gen_registry_docs has nothing to
emit for this change. Running it does show pre-existing drift in
docs/modding/reference/registries.md (timeFishGroups, an objects refinement)
from earlier Schemas.lua edits that were never regenerated; that is not this
branch's to carry, so it is left alone.
