Editor Sync: Messing with UnityEvents

[krisrok]

Describe the bug 💬

Deserialization breaks when the event list is changed via inspector while ES is active.
As the ES changes persist, the session has to be killed by restarting vite.

Steps to reproduce 🔢

1) Export and start the scene with ES
2) The grid should blink on and off (triggered by _boolEvent), the Cube should move (triggered by _nonGenericEvent).
3) Modify one of the events via inspector (e.g. by clicking on the +)
4) Watch the triggers not working anymore (grid should stop blinking or Cube moving, depending on which event was modified)
5) Reload page => Triggers not working anymore
6) Restart vite and reload page => Triggers working until events get modified again

Hi, thanks for the report.

The next version (> 3.16.2) will ignore UnityEvent modifications for now and add an EditorModificationHandler.HandleChange event which can be used to ignore certain modifications (the arguments have the target object, propertyname and value as well as a bool for preventDefault. Setting this to true will ignore the change).

This event also allows to modify the target and object data if necessary
