As title. Those movables proved not to be super fun in-round largely due
to lack of balancing mechanics and counterplay from players. Reverting
for now! Original reduction in hazard density from
https://github.com/Aurorastation/Aurora.3/pull/21571 unchanged.
# Summary
This PR rebalances the spawn count and radius of overmap hazard
clusters, as well as adjusts some of their overmap movement behavior.
## Justification
Mining trips to exoplanets distant to the Horizon can force miners to
spend large portions of a given round just trying to navigate around
overmap hazards; in the worst cases, the sheer number of dead ends and
blind spots can result in their effective removal from the first 60-90
minutes of a round, and the worst delays can obviate the need for their
materials in the first place. While reducing these hazards would also
benefit the Horizon and offships, the primary motivation was to reduce
mining's "dead time" in any given round.
## Details
Most overmap hazard types have had their 'count' (the number of clusters
spawned) and radius reduced, to open up more navigable space on the
overmap. This has been compensated for by modifying movement
probabilities, speeds, and behaviors of overmap hazards.
The intervals between overmap hazards moving (their effective speeds)
has been made variable; different clusters of movable hazards will no
longer always proc movement at the same time.
Carp continue to have a random chance to move in a random direction
every interval. Space dust and meteors now also have a chance to spawn
in as movable hazards, but they will only ever move in one direction.
While more dangerous to passing shuttles and ships than carp, they are
also much more predictable.
The current numbers were based on observation of several randomly
generated maps during testing, but will likely need adjustment as it
faces actual miners and we accumulate their feedback. I erred on the
side of 'less difficult' to avoid overtuned rocks from smashing crew to
pieces every round.

* sensors bugfix + standardisation
standardises datums and events so they default to 0 opacity and require events to be set explicitly if opaque, instead of events working one way and the datums the other.
also fixes the sensor ping from setting every event to opaque every time it scans
* cl
* fixes events going transparent by toggling sensors on and off
* better solution - doesn't leave blocked vision on overmap when toggling
toggling sensors doesn't leave opaque tiles on the overmap doing it like this
* just rewording cl, no code change here
