Remove 5 rules that either define what a nuzlocke is (always true) or don't affect tracker behavior:
- `firstEncounterOnly` — implicit; it's a nuzlocke tracker
- `permadeath` — implicit; it's a nuzlocke tracker
- `nicknameRequired` — not enforced or tracked
- `setModeOnly` — not enforced or tracked
- `postGameCompletion` — not enforced or tracked

## Checklist

- [x] Remove from `NuzlockeRules` interface and `DEFAULT_RULES`
- [x] Remove their entries from `RULE_DEFINITIONS`
- [x] Update `RulesConfiguration`, `RuleToggle`, and `RuleBadges` components as needed
- [x] Update `NewRun.tsx` and `NewGenlocke.tsx` if they reference removed rules
- [x] Verify backend encounter logic still works (uses `.get()` with defaults)
- [x] Update backend test seed data if it references removed rules
