ENGINE LAYER: Defines a single resource type (gold, manpower, prestige, etc.)

This is the data structure that represents a resource's properties. Resources are loaded from JSON5 files and registered in ResourceRegistry.

Architecture:

• Engine layer provides the mechanism (ResourceDefinition + ResourceSystem)
• Game layer provides the policy (which resources exist, their properties)
• Data files define specific resources (gold, manpower, etc.)
