Add El Hilo Que No Tejí StoryQuest

[Nox871]

El Hilo Que No Tejí follows Lino, who falls into El Deshilado, a world made of broken memories, after his dog Manchitas disappears. Following the barks of a mysterious shadow, he must face his guilt to find his dog. The quest has an intro, a stealth level, a sequence puzzle level, three combat levels and an outro.

This is a reworked version of the quest we submitted in [#2428], which was never merged and stayed as it was. That PR came from our team's earlier fork (https://github.com/GameLab6-UTP-Grupo3-Equipo2/threadbare), which was about three months behind upstream, with Godot 4.6 and the previous Dialogue Manager. Following Tobias's suggestion we tried a fresh branch, but the quest did not compile there because of parser errors. So we created a new fork from the current upstream, reworked and updated the quest on it, and are sending this PR from that new fork.

For reference this was the former PR: #2428. I want to reference it because it has previous reviews.

I just did a playthrough and whoa, this is impressive! Very good work! I love the story, the effects, and the level designs, reusing Threadbare mechanics in new and imaginative ways.

Also thank you for updating it to latest Threadbare.

1. Please reduce the file size of WAV files:

• 16-bit samples at 44 kHz is plenty. Reduce them if needed (elian_laugh.wav is 24-bit).
• If they are stereo but both channels have the same data, use mono
• Remove silence or almost inaudible parts from the beginning or end of tracks

I have updated the wiki with these tips: https://github.com/endlessm/threadbare/wiki/Audio-Style-Guide#sound-effects

2. I have ran tools/check_orphan_assets.gd using:

const ROOT_FOLDER := "res://scenes/quests/story_quests/el_hilo_que_no_teji"

And it looks like there are unused files. Please confirm and if so, remove them:

This wav file is too big (3.1MB), for only 10 seconds of audio.

First of, is 24-bit of depth, which is a lot. According to our audio style guide, 16-bit samples at 44 kHz is plenty.

Checking it I see that it's stereo, but the 2 channels are exactly the same. So please convert it to mono. Also remove the almost inaudible or silent part from the end of the track.

In fact, the largest files are all sounds in shared/assets/sounds/, 16 files of 11.2 MB size total:

File	Size
elian_laugh.wav	3.1 MB
Suspenso.wav	1.5 MB
elian_dissapear.wav	1.2 MB
intro_thunder_rain_lino.ogg	1.1 MB
elian_jar01.wav, elian_jar03.wav	about 1 MB each
