Adds skill based upgrades to modular lasers. (#22425 )

**Modular laser changes**

- tl:dr Shooting mod laser at a mob counts up an improvement potential
variable, which when the gun is disassembled, gets spread across the
components.
- When the components are repaired, by someone with high skill, there is
a chance to increase a variable, such as damage, shot count, accuracy.
- Players give the biggest increase, followed by non-player humans
(protohumans & mechs fall in this catagory), then simple mobs and
finally monkeys. Non combat modlasers improve slowly when used for their
intended task (betarays slowly tick up when shooting hydroponics bays)

The philosophy for these changes is that research should continue to be
involved with the equipment they give out.
It should also be difficult (but not impossible) for research to upgrade
their weapons without support from other departments.
Xenobio slimes, protohumans, medical help to keep the protohuman alive
while you shoot it, security help to actually use the guns on real
targets (this gives the biggest increases).

The more powerful a weapon is the harder it is to upgrade, as it'll kill
it's targets quicker. The more upgraded a weapon is the more difficult
it is to upgrade further, improvement potential will get wasted on
components that have already hit their cap.

On their own, by the time the 5 monkeys research start with are dead,
it's possible for a max skill scientist to improve one gun's worth of
components by ~25%.

The weapons research can now make at roundstart (with max tech) are
significantly worse than what spawns in the armoury.
The weapons research can make with gold, silver, uranium and phoron are
equal to what spawns in the armoury.
The weapons research can make with diamonds are better than what spawns
in the armoury.

Major nerfs to heat vents, auxiliary capacitor and capacitor overcharge,
these were the problem children.
It is now impossible to make a weapon that does not take damage through
use. Safe designs will only break with heavy use, by people who don't
bring them back to research for repairs.
Powerful designs break quickly and need repeated repairs.

Adds two side grade capacitors that can be made at roundstart (with max
tech), one higher damage and fewer shots. One lower damage and more
shots.

High skill characters get much more information when examining modular
lasers and a chance to throw the gun away before it explodes.

Adds some defines to help balance these changes:
Improvement cap (the total percent a component can increase) Currently
100%.
Increase & Decrease Cap, how much an individual variable can be
increased or decreased. Currently 2x and 0.2x.
Improvement multiplier, multiplies all improvement gains. Currently 1x.

**Firing Pin fixes & changes**
Fixed ID locked firing pins and adds them to R&D.

Adds the inner research department to the firing range locked pins. This
is so xenobotanists, xenobiologists & xenoarchs can use the modular
lasers. Freeze rays for slimes, betarays for xenobotanists, laser
activation for artifacts for xenoarch.

It is still impossible for a scientist to make a weapon they can use
anywhere, but they can give them to security who can use them freely.

**Misc bug fixes**
The weapon analyzer UI now updates and only shows relevant statistics,
instead of displaying every variable even when they do nothing.
Replaces the buggy tesla zap with just electrocuting the holder.
Fixes a few broken visual messages.
Fixes the vermin modulator not killing anything, now it also works on
grems.
Fixes click delay on malfunction.
Fixes radiation damage numbers.
Fixes the temperature modulator.
Fixes the report printout showing the wrong numbers.

Skills System Revival: The Things She Remembered Had Never Been Her Own (#21853 )

This PR is a revisit to the previously derelict PR #20159 that has been
unfinished for sometime now. More details about it in general can be
found here:
https://github.com/orgs/Aurorastation/projects/2?pane=issue&itemId=53167153

For awhile I've been talking about "Things I've been doing but it would
be really nice to do them with a skills system", or "And here's how I
would put this into the skills system when it's done". The main thing
that was stopping me from building it myself was having poor real life
skills in UI code and in DB code. However, I've gotten permission to
resume this PR, which has already completed the steps I would not have
been able to do myself. The rest of the PR fits well into my skillset as
a dev.

I'm opening this PR as a draft so as to enable my dev environment to
locally track all the previously modified files. I'll take this PR out
of draft and give this a full writeup when I have more work to show for
the PR this weekend.

### TODO

- [x] Rework a decent chunk of the currently existing skills to no
longer require hardcoded inserts into other systems. EG, converting from
classical ss13 methods, to modern /tg/-style ECS coding methods that
work off of component-signal patterns.
- [x] Make sure all of the existing skills have actual game
functionality (I won't PR a 2016 Baystation12 situation where 90% of the
skills are fluff only)
- [x] Add the various skills not yet made but are necessary for
completion sake, EG: Pilot (Spacecraft), Gunnery, Pilot (Walkers).
- [x] Examine each existing job in the game and assess whether it should
have a skill made with it in mind, or if it's covered by an existing
skill.
- [x] TO DISCUSS, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL: Additional skill proposals not
currently in the pre-existing TODO list, proposing subcategories.
- [x] Ensure that the previous TODO list is completed.

### Current Skills
The current list of skills, checkmarked for if I've completed them/they
have actual game mechanics. Or if we're just relegating them to separate
PRs. Originally this list was going to be forced to visit for a bare
minimum "does at least one thing" requirement, but now that is being
forgone due to this PR ballooning out of control and in complexity, as
well as development time overruns.
