This PR reworks the controls for Mechs to now operate under
"Battletech-Style" controls. Where the W and S keys are instead Forward
and Reverse, while A and D are turn-left and turn-right respectively.
This control scheme is generally significantly more playable for mechs,
since mechs can only interact with objects or fire weapons in a
forward-facing arc. Mechs were previously incapable of both
repositioning and fighting at the same time, while with this update a
mech can now face an enemy, fire upon them, and either move closer to
them or further away.
Mechs also now have reverse speed characteristics based on their chassis
selection. Bipedal legs generally have the worst reverse speed. Quad
legs have significantly better reverse handling, and Treads have no
reverse speed reduction at all (with the fun caveat that they suck at
turning).
I have also fixed the issue of mechs feeling like they were "too easy to
mobility kill". It turned out that mechs were hardcoded to be mobility
killed when they took only 45 points of damage, regardless of how tough
their legs were. I have reworked this to instead be a linear decrease in
movement speed, based on the damage taken ratio of the legs. Larger and
tougher legs are naturally more resistant to being impeded by mobility
damage.
I have actually tested this PR, here's it in action! NOW WITH STRAFING

Revives https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/17215 with the
needed species changes.
As I said last time this was tried, the key issue is that our walkspeed
is a lot lower than any other server's. Even if we add atom gliding as
is, it would just look like gliding through molasses and would give you
motion sickness, because it takes a half-second to finish a glide to
another tile. Meaning that to compensate the movement speed has now been
significantly buffed for everyone. Yes, even dionae, G2, simple mobs,
everyone.
As compensation, m'sai/bishop/unathi sprint were especially nerfed
because otherwise they'd go lightspeed.

This adds a parcel cart to the mail room in operations, which can be
loaded with up to 17 packages. These packages can be any that can be
held in the hand, so not crates but anything smaller effectively yes as
long as it can be wrapped in package wrapper.
When it is loaded with 5 packages, it gives a slowdown to the person
pushing it, and further slowdown at 11 packages.
The cart can have a total of 17 packages at the moment, as that is the
amount of different sprites I have for it.
The code is based on the engineering cart, and also contain a small
bugfix so the engineering cart give back steel when taken apart, as that
is what is used to build it.

## About PR
Sprites are ported from Paradise Station, made by McRamon.
This cart is capable of holding the following:
- 2x sheet stacks of each steel, glass and plasteel.
- mechanical, electrical and emergency toolboxes, one each.
- light replacer
The one that spawns in engineering begins with all 3 toolboxes.
This cart costs 15 plasteel to craft, 100 credits to order from cargo.
Removes relevant toolboxes this cart spawns with in the department.

## About PR
- Introduces a dropship-esque Intrepid, making it feel more like a
public transport in a overpopulous city, while trying to avoid
chokepoints.
- Ports the CM's double seats.
- Removes access restriction from Intrepid's side airlocks, to be in par
with the main airlock.
- Deletes some rogue pipes near hangar bay.
- Re-adds a small oven which was introduced in #16449. With slight
tweaks and different colour palette.
This is probably an awful way to port CM's vehicle seats, but in testing
only issue I've found is: when the chair occupant punches someone, their
own buckle off-set will get reset. I am not sure why.
The way the double seats work is, it'll let anyone pass through as long
as both of the seats aren't occupied at the same time.

Refactored (second passage) how movement works, now it's mostly in line
with TG handling and avoids calling 3 gazillion Cross() Uncross() etc.
on every atom in a turf.
Fixed EMP protection from species not actually protecting (this includes
the surge prevention for IPCs).
Fixed EMP 3D calculation runtiming because I forgot to make the value
absolute and it was doing the square root of a negative number.
It's now possible to queue the round to start with the Start Round verb
even while the system is initializing, for an even faster pain train to
enter the round and test things.
Enabled new opendream pragmas
Fixed some runtime access check operators (`:`) around the codebase (not
all, some are unfixable as they're used in macros)
No player facing changes (hopefully)

latest iteration.

'NOFALL' is now a status flag instead of being a var specific to BSTechs. It allows the mob to move between Z-levels and through empty space; even to 'fly up' against gravity. However the tech can no longer use this to 'phase into' matter if there is something above them.
...for that you want to use Ruin-Everything instead: incorporeal movement now has an additional type that's (still) just like a ninja's, but it also allows you to move between Z-levels.
Adds the anti-gravity verb to the Bluespace Robot preset and starts them with 'NOFALL' on.
When using 'GODMODE' you will no longer take damage when you fall; instead a cool message will be shown and a quiet thump will be played.
'GODMODE' now protects you from the awful effects of running - you can run indefinitely and won't take damage from it.
Thanks to the above changes the BST is now self-contained in a single file (well except for the robot preset).
To facilitate the above changes several godmode and incorporeal checks have been added (mostly to movement procs). It cuts on some extra proc overrides and type checks. Also results in a more 'natural' experience when using NOFALL, GODMODE or incorporeal movement.
Changed incorporeal values to defines.
Added a "darkvision" mode for the BST goggles.
I also updated some of the BST verbs to be more descriptive.
The old code relies on lastarea being up to date. This doesn't really make sense, and can lead to edge cases; we should just be checking the turf the mob is on.
This shit is just full of issues that keep popping up and frankly I can't be fucked to deal with them.
Note: I'll probably do the same thing again but very simplified later on. This iteration is a mistake in how much of a mess it is, unfortunately.
Now this might actually be the last of the ports before I actually code things I swear.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#25773 and adds sprinting by holding the shift key, also adding the option to add more movement intents for species with their own slowdown etc etc.
