Subject: [PATCH] Regal Rats can target zombies, skeletons, and ghouls (#93849)

## About The Pull Request

Regal rats can now attack zombies, ghouls, skeletons, and other "fake
undead" species.

This is done by changing the "already dead" check to ignore the
FAKEDEATH trait if it's applied as a species trait. This means that
regal rats still won't be able to tell if someone's faking it with
zombie powder or changeling stasis.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Rats should be able to kill zombies I guess.

Closes #93770.
## Changelog

fix: Regal rats can now attack FAKEDEATH species mobs, like zombies and
skeletons.
