Add support for pokemon evolutions in the tracker. When a pokemon evolves during a Nuzlocke run, the tracker should reflect the new species while preserving the encounter history (original catch route, catch level, nickname, etc.). Needs investigation into:
- How to model evolutions (track current species vs. original species)
- Whether to pull evolution chain data from PokeAPI during seeding
- UX for marking a pokemon as evolved (from the team view or encounter edit)
