This has zero reason to exist in our code base. We have no procs or
variables tied to this. I removed it to make future modifications
cleaner.

This PR updates the repo fully to Byond 516.1673. We now have access to
Associative Lists, Vectors, Matrices, and a huge number of math
improvements tha will allow us to catapult the repo into a new era of
simulationism.
I have tested this PR to verify that it works.

# Summary
This PR has the goal of adding a base framework for tracking, saving and
otherwise managing persistent data between rounds, written from scratch.
Persistent data can be anything - Most expectedly noticeboards, dirt,
papers, etc.
_Technical details about the PR below are subject to change._
## Estimated scope
The first iteration of the persistence framework should include the
functioning subsystem and the first implementation of a persistent type
using said subsystem.
- [x] Prepare database for persistent data
- [x] Add new features to `/obj/`
- [x] Logic to get and load persistent data into objects for the
subsystem
- [x] Internal logic for tracking and other
- [x] Implement subsystem
- [x] Basics, files, integration of subsystem
- [x] Database queries for different operations
- [x] Methods for registering and de-registering object tracking for
`/obj`
- [x] Round start logic
- [x] Round end logic
- [x] Implement first persistent type: Papers on notice boards
- [ ] Code review
- [x] Scope validation
- [x] Testing
- [x] Full changelog
- Merge
- [ ] Setup logging config for new subsystem
- [x] Documentation for developers ([How to add new persistent
types](https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/wiki/Persistence))
## Inner workings
The new persistence subsystem has the following concept:
At round start the subsystem reads existing data from the database and
creates objects for them.
During the round objects can be added to the tracking using a register
function (or removed by a de-register function).
At round end the subsystem goes over all it's actively tracked objects:
Create new objects (that don't have a persistent ID from the database),
update objects that changed during the round and expire objects that are
no longer tracked.
The objects in questions can register themselves, de-register themselves
and decide themselves what content should be stored and handle how to
set themselves up during the subsystems init phase.
## Information on the new table
`id` - database generated ID for tracking persistent objects over
multiple rounds, objects without an ID are considered new and created
during the round.
`author_ckey` - With the first implementation unused, but expected to be
required in the future to allow any staff/moderation on persistent data.
Nullable as persistent data also can be things like decals without an
actual owner.
`type` - Type of persistent data used for creating objects at round
start.
`created_at` - Statistical values.
`expire_at` - Used for cleaning the database and setting limits for
persistent data types. It's optional and allows permanent persistent
data (command notice boards?).
`content` - JSON formatted data containing the actual properties of an
individual tracked object (e.g. what's written on a paper, what's its
title).
`x`, `y`, `z` - Coordinates taken and given from/to the object during
save/load. Those can be null for future purposes.
## The goal on how to add new persistent data types
`/obj` received two new methods which need to be overriden in the to-be
added new persistent type:
`persistence_get_content()` and `persistence_apply_content(content, x,
y, z)`.
The first method has the responsibility to provide all custom content of
a new type to the subsystem in the form of an associated list (`["title"
= "Hello, World!", "value" = 1337].
What does that mean?
In the example of a piece of paper, the method needs to put the papers
title and text content into a an associated list, that list will be
saved by the persistence subsystem.
The second method has the responsibility to apply the previously saved
content when persistent data is initialized at the start of the round:
The associated list needs to be read back and applied to the paper,
additionally coordinates are provided for the object that have been
taken during saving. Note that the coordinates might be null and could
be ignored during setup.
During the round, when a new object is created, like a paper, you need
to call the subsystem and register a track:
`SSpersistence.register_track(your_object_to_track, ckey (optional)`.
The subsystem will be using the methods above when the round ends and
saves the object - and loads it at the start of the round using the
second method. The ckey needs to be given for all persistent that
contains user generated content, e.g. papers.
In case a persistent object gets removed, you need to call
`SSpersistence.deregister_track(your_tracked_object)`. At the end of the
round the object will be removed from the storage.
`/obj` contains the variable (along some other technical vars)
`persistance_initial_expiration_time_days`, which has a default value of
30 days, but can be safely overriden on a per-type basis. This value (in
days) will be used for the persistent data entry expiration date when a
new object of said type is stored in the database.
## PR description changelog
- Added *The goal on how to add new persistent data types*.
- Updates *Estimated scope* format.
- Updates *Inner workings*.
- Final iteration.
*(Grammer and formatting not tracked manually)*
- Reworked prices, wages and balances of (almost) everything ingame.
- Added coinage and decimal support to cash, ruthlessly sanitized to
avoid floating-point errors. Reflected in cash-related things like ATMs.
- Tweaked how cash bundles are made and distributed to support
decimalization.
- Adjusted the starting money individuals and departments receive in
their accounts.
- Adjusted the funding Tajara, Unathi, Diona, Vaurca, and IPCs receive
in their accounts. Should earn more on average than they used to.
Credit values are now roughly 1/10th what they were before, across the
board.
Coins were added too! These have names:
- Unie: 0.01 credits
- Quin: 0.05 credits
- Dece: 0.10 credits
- Quarter: 0.25 credits
These can be seen cameo'd in the screenshots below.
Values, wages, etc, are based on the wiki page
https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php?title=Guide_to_Wages_and_Pay .
Values are not anchored to any singular real-world currency.
Example price differences:
| Example Item | Old Price | New Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Comet Cola | 15.00 | 1.50 |
| Cup Ramen | 20.00 | 2.00 |
| Jyalara | 38.00 | 3.00 |
| Trans-Stellar Cigarettes | 76.00 | 9.00 |
| Zo'ra Soda | 29.00 | 2.50 |
| Gumball | 5.00 | 0.25 |
| 50x plasteel sheets | 700.00 | 120.00 |
| 5x meat (cargo) | 160.00 | 55.00 |
| 50x phoron crystals (cargo) | 2200.00 | 400.00 |
Wages and account balances have also been tweaked:
| Type | Old Amount | New Amount |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ship Account | 75,000.00 | 35,000.00 |
| Departmental Accounts | 10,000.00 | 15,000.00 |
| Personal Account (avg) | 200.00 - 20,000.00 | 20.00 - 2,000.00 |
Might break the economy; prices will likely need some adjusting
depending on gameplay constraints. Can be adjusted in TMs.
A little testing never hurt anyone.

Off-duty crew and passengers can now spawn in the medbay recovery room,
for that sweet, sweet medical RP.
Vastly expanded the medbay recovery ward, including:
- Cryo pod (duh)
- Nav terminal, to watch the ship fly as the days crawl by
- Sink and hygiene vendor
- dining/general purpose rec table with uno
- MRE vendor, for that sweet, sweet, hospital grade food
- Coffee vendor, for that sweet, sweet, coffee.
- Public access doorway (still needs access to enter, but unrestricted
to exit, so if you spawn there and no one is around, you're not screwed)
- Button to open said public access doorway, for visitors
- Requests console, maintenance panels.

!!Misplaced camera and light in the wall have been fixed!! Rack of
toiletries has been replaced with vendor!!
Minor refactor of the APC file, turned biteshifts into the BITFLAG
macro, reordering.
Added APCs maplints.
Fixed maps to pass the maplints.
APCs now draw time-constant power.
Removed power objects handling code, only the powersink existed that
used it.
Refactored powersink to use the processing subsystem, made it
time-constant, DMDoc'd.
Made powersinks drain power from an APC faster.
