2.0 format changes

• Temp format is changed from temp.something[layer] to temp[layer].something, for consistency
• Challenges are now saved as an object with the amount of completions in each spot. (This will break saves.)
• effectDisplay in Challenges and Upgrades no longer takes an argument, and neither does effect for Buyables
• Buyable cost can take an argument for amount of buyables, but it needs to function if no argument is supplied (it should do the cost for the next purchase).
• Generation of Points now happens in the main game loop (not in a layer update function), enabled by canGenPoints in game.js.
• Changed fullLayerReset to layerDataReset, which takes an array of names of values to keep

In addition, many names were changed, mostly expanding abbreviations:

All instances of:

• chall -> challenge
• unl -> unlocked
• upg -> upgrade (besides CSS)
• amt -> amount
• desc -> description
• resCeil -> roundUpCost
• order -> unlockOrder
• incr_order -> increaseUnlockOrder

Challenges:

• desc -> challengeDescription
• reward -> rewardDescription
• effect -> rewardEffect
• effectDisplay -> rewardDisplay
• active -> challengeActive
