Phoron Deposit Away Site (#20730)

This site is something of an experiment. It features a special mineral deposit with lots of phoron. When the deposit is drilled, it'll activate four mob spawners some distance away that'll send fauna towards it. There can be a total of 20 active fauna on the map at once (5 per spawner.) There's no limit on how many mobs can spawn in total (for now.) The idea is to make an away site with a clear goal and challenge, which requires multiple people across different departments to accomplish safely. Security to defend against the waves of fauna, engineering to construct and maintain barricades/other defenses (very important), mining to handle the drill, and of course medical in case something goes wrong. You can't do it solo, trust me I've tried. Once the deposit has been fully depleted, (takes about 15 minutes or so) the team will have to sally out of their barricades and fight their way back to their shuttle. Cause again, the mobs won't stop coming. I think it's more interesting that way. But it ends with LOTS of fauna corpses, of which the performance impact on a populated server might be too severe to justify? I've no clue. I also added some atmospheric sound and music which plays once the deposit is drilled. Hopefully sets the tone without being too overbearing. This required a lot of code. I do not know how to code. I've tried to be thorough, but may still want to review it under some extra scrutiny. See the changelog for some other small tweaks. ### Asset Licenses The following assets that **have not** been created by myself are included in this PR: | sound/music/phoron_deposit.ogg | Reitanna Seishin & Zander Noriega |CC0 & CC-BY 3.0 | https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

+We have received credible intelligence that a large Conglomerate vessel is inbound to the sector, the sensor equipment on this vessel is very likely to detect the deposit. Therefore, awaiting further reinforcements is no longer an option. The deposit must be extracted before our competitors reach it.<br>\
+<br>\
+We understand your concerns regarding the caverns and the presence of fauna. We've prepared a plan of action to ensure the extraction is conducted safely, despite shortage of personnel.<br>\
+<br>\
+1. Gather all available resources.<br>\
+An abundance of ammunition may prove necessary, bring as much as possible. Steel and plasteel will also be required in order to fortify the area around your drilling equipment. Additionally, you are advised to bring medicinal injectors in the event of an emergency, especially painkillers.<br>\
+<br>\
+2. Construct a defensive perimeter around the deposit. <br>\
+Steel and plasteel barricades with barbed wire are advised. Construct several layers, if there is sufficient material to do so.<br>\
+<br>\
+3. Begin drilling operations.<br>\
+Be prepared to defend yourselves upon activation of drilling equipment. We estimate that extracting the deposit entirely will take approximately 15 minutes.<br>\
+<br>\
+4. Evacuate the site.<br>\
+Once the deposit is empty, abandon the defenses and quickly exfiltrate with the phoron. Should the presence of fauna be as intense as we anticipate, it is vital that the area is evacuated with haste. Do not attempt to hold the position.<br>\
+<br>\
+Follow these steps precisely, and the likelihood of a swift and safe extraction is high. Report back immediately upon mission success.<br>\

+Good luck.<br>\
