Add Proteans to the game. (#3449)

## About The Pull Request Adds the funny nanite blob dudes from Vigro code into the game. It's more of a port of the idea since they're coded from the ground up. They will be more of a utility focused species then a combat focused species. **They are fragile.** - Eats metal. You need metal to live and you need metal to heal. - Healed by materials. You feed Proteans metal to heal them. - Difficult to kill, but extremely fragile. They are considered a deathless species but they are stuck in their suit if they die. **You have to order a new refactory from cargo to revive them** **Order Refactory > Screwdriver suit > Insert refactory > Wait 5 minutes.** - Easily dismembered. They have 30 seconds to recover their limbs and pop them on or they will melt into nothingness. Can do a lengthy heal which replaces missing limbs and easy to replace organs. - Without a refactory, you will wither away. - Without an orchastrator, you will have a lot of issues moving. - You can lock your suit on someone. (OOC escape will work) - You can assimilate modsuits. - [x] OOC escape - [x] Suit Transformation fixes - [x] Modsuit Assimilation - [x] Ensure organs are working - [x] Species info and lore - [x] Antag Proteans - [x] Custom damage. Disable various surgeries. - [x] Testing, polish, feedback. - [x] Runtime and CI fixing. - [ ] Live testing and balance. ## Why It's Good For The Game This was the second to top vote on species people wanted to see added and this is more custom mechanics then what is just a human reskin. ## Proof Of Testing ![NVIDIA_Overlay_bC6M2FThJP](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb8c8594-f82c-408b-a9a1-e86a61bf8a0f) ![NVIDIA_Overlay_dbhHrYltOH](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cb643365-5512-465f-8582-337e24211b9f) ## Changelog 🆑 StrangeWeirdKitten, Majkl-J add: New species: Proteans /🆑 --------- Co-authored-by: Waterpig <49160555+Majkl-J@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Bubberbot <151680451+Bubberbot@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Arturlang <24881678+Arturlang@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: aKromatopzia <94389683+aKromatopzia@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jinshee <96621959+Jinshee@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Jinshee <manastra2536@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: JustMeTheIInd <145101584+JustMeTheIInd@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: nevimer <77420409+nevimer@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Odairu <39929315+Odairu@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: LT3 <83487515+lessthnthree@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Roxy <75404941+TealSeer@users.noreply.github.com>
