drop the now-dead payloads from the sim-backed state-change events

TickAdvanced, BuildingBlocksChanged, ExpansionCostChanged, BossWaveUpdated and
ArtifactCountChanged all duplicated state the Simulation already owns. With
every subscriber re-reading from the sim, the fields had no readers left, so
the five events become payload-free refresh signals and the emitters keep the
values only as locals for change detection.

This makes the convention uniform: a state-change event backed by the
simulation carries nothing. Events whose state lives in the view (selection,
game speed, deconstruct and debug-draw modes) keep their payloads, since there
is no sim getter behind them.
