Rewrite grab release

I plan on rewriting grab release to properly accommodate the three types of grab releases. You are welcome to expand it.

Grab release is the animation a character enters when they are freed from a grab without entering knockback. Normal grab release occurs after a certain amount of time if a grabbed character is not thrown (this time can be shortened by button mashing), but characters also enter grab release when the grabbing character enters hitstun or the platform they're standing on disappears. There are three main types of grab release animations: ground release, air release, and pummel release. Many combos can be performed by attacking when an opponent is stuck in the frames of their grab release animation.

Other grab releases

(the grabbing character getting into hitstun, possibly when the platform under them disappears)

Exceptions

(Characters with unusual frame data, some character's grabs never ground release, etc.)
