TCAF Corvette Remap (#19877)

This is a remap of the TCAF Corvette offship, intended to be more
intuitive than the current one.

**This is up for review.**

Notes:

1. The combustion engine isn't the only source of power in the ship,
there's also a portable generator that should be able to produce enough
to keep the ship going.
2. This adds a few clothing and overmap sprites for use in the
ghostrole, credit to Noble for them, and it also consolidates a few of
the existing TCAF assets into a single faction file. It isn't
comprehensive, but it's more organised than it was.
3. The armoury has been diversified a little. It's now composed of two
blaster rifles, one bolt slinger, one combat laser rifle, one pump
shotgun, and one burst rifle, plus the PEAC and six blaster revolvers as
sidearms. The primary intention of the combat laser rifle, pump shotgun,
and burst rifle is to provide a little AP which blasters universally
badly lack, so the ghostrole should be decently competitive against
armour. My hope is it should be roughly as strong as the Coalition
Ranger ship in combat.
4. I'm not totally happy with the hangar, but I'm not satisfied with any
of the docking port designs I've been able to think of, so I'm running
with it for now. I do believe a docking port is generally preferable.
5. Per Trio, species restrictions are tightened a bit on the Decurion to
only cover humans, Skrell, IPCs, and Vaurca Warriors. Liable to be
changed. Vaurca workers have also been excluded from every combatant
ghostrole, playable only as technicians. I'll be prodding at adding
bulwarks too, but they're not currently included due to some fickleness
with giving them appropriate uniforms.
6. The sensors are the strong variant for the shuttle and ship, with the
idea that it should be particularly good at reconnaissance. I doubt
anyone would use the shuttle to scout the sector, but the sensors are
good to throw a bone in that direction.
