VMSolidus 13f87e4a26 Various Skill Bugfixes (#22533)
This PR fixes a bunch of skills related bugs, the biggest of which were
the result of the system being overly trusting of the database, when in
reality due to a bunch of unpredictable edge cases, the database is not
guaranteed to always have what I think it has. To fix these bugs, I've
had to slightly refactor how skills are generated on player characters
and antagonists, such that the burden of proof for skills is with the
Skills Subsystem rather than the Database.

Skills generated for a fresh character that has NO preferences saved
(Worst case scenario):

/>

Promoting that same character to Antagonist now increases certain skills
to a minimum baseline:

By Mel's request, Bluespace Technicians spawn with all skills fully
maxed out for debugging purposes:
