Subject: [PATCH] PAI leashes can be toggled on or off by owners (#93239)

## About The Pull Request
PAI leashes can be toggled on or off by owners

## Why It's Good For The Game
i do agree with the idea of tying PAIs to their owners considering what
the P stands for and i wish it had worked out the way it was intended,
but it has sort of deterred a lot of people from playing the role. even
as the PAI owner in shifts where very little was going on, i did sort of
find it socially exhausting to have to be tied to my PAI for the entire
round and a massive responsibility since the fun the other player was
having was solely depending on me. i found myself wishing we could have
a little break from each other every now and then </3. i realize most of
these are my own shortcomings, but i speculate atleast a few other pai
owners may go through the same things which may tie into why very few
pai devices are being picked up

## Changelog
:cl:
feature: PAI leashes can now be turned on or off by pai owners. (they
are on by default)
