Subject: [PATCH] Makes AB_CHECK_CONSCIOUS checks say you're dead if you're
 dead (#94184)

## About The Pull Request

Makes the `AB_CHECK_CONSCIOUS` check in `is_available()` specify you're
dead if you're dead, rather than unconcious. Also moves it up to the top
of the checks, so that it'll say the much more glaring issue of death
before something like "incapacitated' or "hands blocked" or "laying
down"

## Why It's Good For The Game

closes #94173
