Ki Adept - Monk Class Reflavour and Rebalance

Changed the class name, ability descriptions and some dialogue lines to tone down the mandatory "monastic" flavour of the class. The NPCs will still refer to you as a monk/monastic sometimes, but let's say being assumptious is on them.

The mechanics changes are homebrew inspired by or directly taken from different sources: LaserLlama's Alternate Monk, OneDnD UAs, Pillars of Eternity, and Pathfinder, both 1e and 2e. These are meant to be compatible with modded subclasses or feature alterations (such as 5e Monk), if you load the Adept mod after those and use Compatibility Framework (probably).

Big thank you to DiZ91891 for letting me use their Steel Wind Strike 5e Spell as a base for Whispers of the Wind.

Special thanks to OhhLoz, their Alternate Monk implementation is what gave me the idea for this mod in the first place.
