Batrachophreno 387cee9243 Object Examine Text Overhaul (#20923)
Extends and reworks how various extended information text (desc_info,
desc_build, desc_upgrades) are handled to make object interactions and
mechanics A.) much more clearly documented in-game and B.) much easier
to support from the back-end.

Almost certainly a candidate for test merge.

Assembly/Disassembly instructions are noticeably sporadic, largely due
to our current lack of a unified framework. That's a future thing I'd
like to attack so that it can be handled programmatically, but for now I
only targeted the biggest culprits as I came across them.

Batrachophreno 27b5079066 Stock parts power usage and examine handling (#20892)
In preparation for future development, both A.) increased the power draw
of upgraded machines in more predictable ways and B.) reformated Examine
text output to handle displaying machines' upgradeable parts and what
they do in a more user-friendly way.

A.) is important because it opens the door to adding upgrade components
available for more machines.

B.) is important because not only do we need to communicate those sorts
of mechanics in a clean, clear, consistent way, but it also opens the
doors to being able to communicate more types of interaction mechanics
similarly well (such as assembly/disassembly tips).

Examples of new Examine boxes:

Note- while updating, made get_examine_text() also give Antagonism text
boxes to ghosts and storytellers, not just active Antags. This seemed
like a no-brainer thing but can be split into a separate PR if
requested.
