Replace usages of customTypeSerializer PrototypeIdListSerializer with something that doesn't take 20 separate words to type out

## About the PR Basic programming principle of using types that define the us…age of the data, instead of just "string", without having to look at the specific serializer that something is using Also people are still using the custom type serializer attribute instead of just using ProtoId<T> and EntProtoId which is awesome, so getting rid of existing usages so that stops happening as much ## Why / Balance ## Technical details ## Media ## Requirements - [x] I have read and am following the [Pull Request and Changelog Guidelines](https://docs.spacestation14.com/en/general-development/codebase-info/pull-request-guidelines.html). - [x] I have added media to this PR or it does not require an ingame showcase. ## Breaking changes Usages of customTypeSerializer PrototypeIdListSerializer have been replaced with ProtoId<T>. Usage of existing fields may need to be changed if for some reason you were also using a list of strings instead of ProtoId<T>. Of note, IBiomeWorldLayer now uses ProtoId<ContentTileDefinition> and ProtoId<DecalPrototype> and IBiomeWorldLayer uses ProtoId<ContentTileDefinition> for their property types. Existing implementations of either will need to be updated to match the new type.
