Subject: [PATCH] Fixes RIGs with no boots suffering slowdown for not deploying
 boots (#22890)

Some light rigs don't even have boots to deploy, so they shouldn't get
slowdown because of it.
Decided just to make all light RIGs have no slowdown, as none of them
had footstep sounds anyway.

changes:
- bugfix: "Fixes light rigs getting slowdown from having undeployed
boots."
  - bugfix: "Fixes light rigs having no energy armour."
