+/**
+ * Pass an event that should be only registered when playing certain gamemodes.
+ *
+ * This function will register/unregister the provided events handler when gamemodes change.
+ *
+ * It returns a function that will clean up both event handlers. It's unlikely we'll ever need to use it,
+ * so usually you can just discard it.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * ```ts
+ * // In the static initializer block for some panel's class, call the onUpdate function on this class
+ * // whenever the 'HudProcessInput' event is fired, ONLY if the current gamemode is Gamemode.DEFRAG.
+ * 	static {
+ * 		RegisterEventForGamemodes(
+ * 			[GameMode.DEFRAG],
+ * 			'HudProcessInput',
+ * 			$.GetContextPanel(),
+ * 			this.onUpdate.bind(this)
+ * 		);
+ * 	}
+ * ```
+ * @param gamemodes - Gamemodes to register the callback for. Handler is unregistered for any other modes.
+ * @param event - Event name
+ * @param context - Panel context
+ * @param callbackFn - Event callback
+ * @returns Cleanup function that unregisters both event handlers
