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.
-adds the honorary party member card to the loadout
-adds mata'ke priest clothing to the loadout
-removed siiktau
-removed some unused clothing

This pr adds siik'tau, as proposed here: https://forums.aurorastation.org/viewtopic.php?f=78&t=11259
A language that humans, skrell and tajara can select.
Also, tweaks how skrell handles language at the request of the skrell lore person and cleans up a tiny bit of the species language related vars.
Changes made by loredev request.
changes:
Gutter has been renamed to "Freespeak" via. define. Define name is unchanged.
The description of Gutter has been replaced with one supplied by Jackboot.
Replaced remaining references to gutter in the code with the define.
changes:
tweak: "Auto-Hiss should no longer act on sign languages."
tweak: "Auto-Hiss should no longer act on Tajaran languages."
tweak: "Auto-Hiss should no longer act on Unathi languages."
tweak: "Examining an IPC no longer checks their non-existent pulse."
tweak: "You can no longer check the pulse of a species that does not have one."
bugfix: "Examining a human-type mob with robotic limbs no longer shows red examine text for each limb."
bugfix: "Examining a human-type mob now shows hunger level again."
bugfix: "The Ninja's self-destruct should actually kill the Ninja now."
bugfix: "You can no longer use sign language over radios."
Changes not in changelog:
Cleaned up the BST's code a bit.
BSTs now understand/speak the newly added languages
Added #define for languages that did not have them.
BSTs now understand/speak Vaurca Hivenet.
Slightly tweaked names/descriptions of BST items.
Fixed runtime from lawgivers overhearing speech from non-human mobs.
Fixes#1492Fixes#1500Fixes#1505
Fixes#531Fixes#276
`/mob/living/proc/revive` now also sets `mob/var/suiciding` to false. This is to stop rejuvinated/ling revived mobs from dying again after being brought back.

Human say_quote() will use the language to obtain a speech verb while
silicon say_quote() will use synth speech verbs, so no need for the extra
language flag. Will mean that silicons will always use their synth speech
verbs regardless of language, however. Logic for what silicons use as
their verb should probably go in say_quote() anyways, so future updates to
that can go there instead of branching in living say code.
