I've audited the entire destroy path between datum and human, this time
paying attention to byond's built-in vars to make sure that the built-in
refs are correctly being cleared. I've also gone and corrected some
null-access mistakes, which are most prominently caused by as anything
casts not being null checked, since as anything allows null entries in a
list to be read.
By far the worst offender I've found was the lack of clearing of the
atom.underlays var, which contains a list of refs. And when searching
for uses of this var across the repo, I've discovered it's associated
with an overwhelming majority of the remaining objects still in the hard
del trackers.
Rewrites Saycode and Langchat to add support for multiple languages in
one message, including audible emotes.

Here's some samples to explain how to mix languages.

`,2Emotes. ,eAnd he nods. ,3They don't have to come first anymore.`
There are some exceptions. The exceptions are currently anything with
any of the flags `SIGNLANG`, `HIVEMIND`, `PRESSUREPROOF`,
`KNOWONLYHEAR`. Exceptions work the same as current languages do: they
must be the first language in the message. If so, they prevent switching
into any other language mid-message; if they're not first, they just
wont trigger.
They're exceptions currently because there's not really a clean way that
I or the people I asked for help on this one to make them look nice.
`SIGNLANG` for example doesn't scramble text, it shows it's own `
gestures a lengthy message.` text for those that don't understand. Could
we just replace every instance of sign language with that if somebody
doesn't understand? Probably. It would look pretty awful though. e.g.
`Alina Eskelinen says, "Hello." Alina Eskelinen gestures a short
message.`
This definitely needs testmerging because it more or less rewrites the
entire pipeline surrounding `say`. The `say` code itself had to be
rewritten to support the multiple languages, as well as all the existing
plumbing for listeners receiving messages. In return though, it's
significantly more straightforward and hopefully by extension easier for
people to add to in the future.
Primarily, instead of having four different `hear_say`, `hear_radio`,
`hear_sleep`, etc., routes for messages to come through, every single
audible message is received by `hear_message`, which is responsible for
figuring out how clear the message is (is the radio damaged? is it a
whisper we're eavesdropping on?), who needs to receive it in their
chatbox, formatting it correctly for each listener, and finally if any
npc or object within range needs to react to it in some way, like a
parrot or a mech.
changelog:
- rscadd: "Adds code-switching: you can now speak in multiple languages
in the same message."
- rscadd: "Adds audible emotes to the language list. They can be
triggered with ,e."
- rscdel: "Removes SSrunechat."
- refactor: "Rewrote langchat in order to support multiple languages and
partial comprehension."
- refactor: "Rewrote a vast majority of all saycode and the code
responsible for displaying saytext to clients."
- bugfix: "Sleeping mobs are no longer able to understand all
languages."
- bugfix: "Langchat now correctly shows the appropriate comprehension
for all viewers rather than all viewers sharing the comprehension of the
last viewer."
- bugfix: "Languages which are supposed to be invisible when not
understood no longer appear as scrambled overhead text."
Forgive me whoever has to review this. Biggest areas that have room for
error is stuff like a borer inside someone's head, and Dionae stuff. Old
langchat had odd exceptions for those and I was forced to rewrite it
entirely, but I think I got it all back to how it was working before.
Refactoring the entire destroy proc path from Mob Human all the way down
to Atom while trying to find the causes for the damn mob human hard
deletes. This PR comprehensively reorganizes every single stray
snowflake var used by /atom/ all the way to /mob/living/carbon/human,
and makes sure that every var that COULD store a reference, is now
cleared during the entirety of the Mob Destroy() parent hierarchy.
This may very well be the end of the lag war.
In total, I've hunted down and cleared 39 hanging references between
/atom and /mob/living/carbon/human

Part one of our nefarious plans to destroy lag forever, and also
accomplish some cool shit.
This replaces our renderer system with plane masters, this will also be
used to turn skyboxes into backdrops and thus totally remove skybox
updating lag. Additionally, this will let us manipulate entire planes
very easily to do all sorts of zany shit. All credit goes to the
original coders, this is some seriously cool stuff.
Also fixes some bizarre smoothing behaviour, reduces updateoverlays
calls since now not every single structure in the game tries smoothing
with nothing.
