Description:
This PR introduces three new meta natives intended to expose more internal data and control to C++ module developers. These additions allow modules to query plugin metadata, check the core AMXX version, and handle plugin failures more discreetly.
Changes:
MF_GetScriptInfo: Allows a module to retrieve the Title, Author, and Version of a running plugin by providing the AMX* pointer. Arguments can be passed as nullptr if specific fields are not needed. This native was added as currently there is no way to get a plugin name, version and author when writing a module, unlike is the case with SourceMod.
MF_GetAmxVersion: Returns the current AMX Mod X version string.
MF_SetFailState: Sets a plugin into a failed state (similar to the Pawn set_fail_state native). Key difference: This native does not automatically print or log the error message, allowing the module developer to handle logging customly or silently if required.
