chore(release): 18.0.0-dev.2 [skip ci]

# [18.0.0-dev.2](https://github.com/ReVanced/revanced-patcher/compare/v18.0.0-dev.1...v18.0.0-dev.2) (2023-10-22)

### Code Refactoring

* Change `PatchOption` from abstract to open class ([09cd6aa](09cd6aa568))

### Features

* Add function to reset options to their default value ([ebbaafb](ebbaafb78e))
* Add function to reset options to their default value ([e6de90d](e6de90d300))
* Add getter for default option value ([c7922e9](c7922e90d0))
* Name patch option value validator property correctly ([caa634f](caa634fac6))

### BREAKING CHANGES

* This gets rid of the existing basic implementations of the `PatchOptions` type and moves extension functions.
* This changes the getter name of the property.
