Subject: [PATCH] Plants no longer have pollen particles when they've died.
 (#96139)

## About The Pull Request

Plants, after they have died, do not actively pollenate their neighbors
in gameplay. However, they do still have pollen particles. This is
definitely a visual oversight, and an easy fix.

Now, after a planet calls `plantdies`, we remove it's pollen particles.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Improves the visual consistency of hydroponics and better communicates
when the mechanic is working as intended.

## Changelog

:cl:
fix: Hydroponics trays will no longer produce pollen particles if the
plant in the tray has died.
