c#min7 9867fc3f0f Loosens Custom Bioaugs Restrictions (#21903)
Unrestricts custom fluff bioaugs to all humans/skrell/diona. Does not
touch Galatean bioaugs.

**Unrestricting Human Origins:**
- Bioaugs/genetic modifications among [Zeng-Hu
employees](https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php/Zeng-Hu_Pharmaceuticals#Augmentation_and_Veterancy)
is described as 'prolific'. Probably lots of wacky neural bioaugs and
medical-related augs? The psionic receiver is an example of a non-fluff
Zeng bioaug.
-
[Geneboosting](https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php/Empire_of_Dominia#Geneboosting)
is a large feature of Dominian society. Primaries can have a custom aug.
as some 'growth hormone gland' or w/ever to complement any flavour
geneboosts they've received.
- [Cytherean
Venus](https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php/Venus#Cytherean_Culture)
has a 'booming' genetic engineering field centred around the
'biomodification' of Stars/Idols. Beyond appearance: muscoskeletal
augmentations for performance dexterity, maybe
- not exclusive, these are just the ones that spring to mind

Besides other specific genetic/bioaugging origins, virtually anyone can
be employed by Zeng and access genetic/bioaugs. Or just be interested in
bio/genetic transhuman instead of the cybernetic transhuman currently
dominating character design options. Seems odd having fluff bioaugs be
restricted to Galateans only, and they have their fancy-schmancy ones
anyway that go beyond fluff (and represent them focusing on more
advanced/practical bioaugs).

**Unrestricting Skrell/Diona/Vaurca/Unathi Species:**
- Biological augmentations are ['commonplace' in the Nralakk
Federation](https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php/Skrell_Technology#Augmentations).
Examples given on wiki: fertility treatments, ambidexterity augments,
sensory enhancements.
- Dionae are all about wacky bioengineering shenanigans. Custom bioaugs
can be flavoured as weird quirks/organs they have.
- Vaurca have a [K'laxane
brood](https://wiki.aurorastation.org/index.php/Vedhra,_Princess_of_Configurations)
that specialises in bioaugs. I imagine the C'thur probably benefit from
Nralakk's bioaugging too.
- Unathi have the Aut'akh commune.
- Tajara remain exempt due to 1) technological deficits, 2) cultural
aversion, 3) no major Zeng-Hu presence. PRA have their tesla augments.
