Newmap - SMC, Openturf, Arrivals Controller, and Mine Turf Improvements (#1958)

* Replace SSingulo with SScalamity; processing cleanup - SScalamity now handles blobs as well as singularity-types. - Processing subtypes have been simplified to not require a stop_processing definition. * this is probably important * Remove cascade disabling SSgarbage * Fixed a bug where dust() did not qdel the target mob * Misc fixes * Fix decals surviving break-to-plating * Subsystem flag tweaks * Apparently subsystems are new'd before config is. * Fix paper icons * Speculative fix for insane lag * Better machinery stat * Make organs not use SSoverlay * Misc bugfixes & tweaks * Nightmode fixes * Changelog for SMC * Port /tg/'s improved MC crash handling * Add some more SS Recover() procs * supply_controller -> SScargo * More New() -> Initialize() * pAI and robot construction overlays * Fix cargo unit tests * Merge the DMM Suite's atom/New() into atoms_init * Lighting pre-baking * Lighting initialization logging * Fix some bad SS init orders * Fix SSlighting logging; rename Processes to MC * Speculative fix for insane GC lag * Prebaked openturf/icon_smooth & fix lighting prebake * SS init status; SSatoms LATEQDEL * Fix bug with MC init stat panel * Fix parallax * Misc * Ignore SS_NO_DISPLAY during init * apparently this is important * REEEEEE * Image GC fixes;

fix duplicated overlay in field gens * SM Bluespace turf tweaks * Update SSgarbage debug globals list * Human-type qdel tweaks * Subsystem suspension; stat_entry improvements * SQL Statistics cleanup * Fix runtimes with ambrosia * More disable() -> suspend();
