Better Fishing

Reworks fishing and quests to make it more interesting and less time consuming.
When a fish bites and you click, instead of instantly realing in a fish, a minigame will pop up where a green bar moves across a larger bar.
Clicking when the green bar is on a ? symbol plays a ding sound, and when the bar reaches the end you will get a fish/crate/etc that corresponds to that ?.
Clicking when the green bar is not on a ? symbol will snap the line.
Sonar potions reveal the ? in the minigame instead of saying the fish's name above the bobber.
Every 10 fishing power of the fishing rod used adds another possible catch up to a maximum of 5 (10 or less power is 1 catch, 20 power is 2, 30 is 3, 45 is 4, etc)
Without a high test fishing line there is a chance for each of these catches to not appear. If no catches appear, the line will snap when the minigame begins.

You can now choose a specific quest reward once per day, each reward having a specific item(s) you need to catch for it.
Normal quests now reset after 5 minutes instead of at the beginning of a day.

Adds 4 accessories related to the new mechanics:
Fishing Gloves (crafted): increases the length of the green bar
Soothing Lure (dropped by flying fish): Slows down the green bar
Lucky Sock (crafted): Adds an extra possible catch to the minigame (max of 6 with 50+ power)
Fish Handler's Gloves (crafted): Combination of all of the above
Adds 1 bait: Hellfire Bait, which explodes and drops 10 catches at the bobber. Obtained from a chosen quest or from obsidian/hellstone crates.
