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.
Currently, only Preferences Verbs use subcategories. As a result, all
other Verb tabs are only organized alphabetically, meaning that a single
mechanic (ie. languages) has its governing Verbs scattered rather than
grouped together.
Verb organization by Tab handles broad organization - IC, OOC, Objects,
etc.- highly effectively but requires the user to click-navigate to
other Tabs to access any other verbs.
Verb organization within a Tab can be handled by A.) subcategories and
B.) Verb name prefixes (such as Earphones - *****). The first option is
the clearest and cleanest, but consumes additional vertical space. The
second option conserves vertical space at the cost of visual clarity.
This PR attempts to reorganize Verbs by their Tabs, Subcategories, and
prefixes with the following priorities in mind:
- Minimal disruption; any radical change must be justified (don't move
shit around just for the sake of moving shit around.)
- Verbs which share common functions (such as Languages) should be
grouped together.
- Maintainability. Contributors should not need to memorize an
excessively convoluted Subcategories list; Subcategories must be
intuitive and simple.
- Subcategories should be used judiciously when grouping Verbs to
conserve vertical space. Example: Instead of creating a Subcategory for
Emotes, just rename Audible Emote and Visual Emote to Emote (Audible)
and Emote (Visual).
- Subcategories should highlight uncommon or unusual verbs when
reasonable. Example: There are several animal husbandry-related Verbs,
and because most characters will not have access to those verbs
regularly, we can be less conservative with space (because they'll be
gone most of the time) for the sake of emphasizing their availability.

As the title says. This improves partial understanding code somewhat.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#24192
It prevents the ends of words from getting cut off, and gets rid of repeating ?? and !!.
This PR will lead us towards the Promised Day, for in its wake there shall be much celebration and ecstasy as this world becomes a world suitable for developer hegemony. The first strike is thusly;
All << is converted into to_chat().
Ports the feature added in Baystation12/Baystation12#19868, it allows people that knows a certain language to understand some words from another language, without needing to have it. It is used in all tajaran and unathi languages for now, Already consulted the lore team and it seems this is all they want so far.
Also, it adds Delvahhi, a zhan language.
* Repaths eyes, observers, dview, and new_players to /mob/abstract subtypes.
* Adds /mob/abstract, a base type for 'abstract' mobs that aren't meant to be directly affected by the game world.
Adopts the /tg/ style of ghost follow links. This is to make clicking them a less of a PITA when you're a ghost. All links tested as functional and properly formatted.
Makes radio and language key overlaps possible.
It is possible to configure the default language keys server side.
Pending: The possibility for players to configure their own language keys.
