Examine Blocks (#67937)

* adds examine_block class and a define for it
made some outputs in chat use examine_block

* add examine block to tip of the round
clean up some ------ and ***** seperators
added <hr> tags to divide sections
cleaned up botany plant analyzer text outputs

* bullet points for reagents

* removes <hr> from mobs examines
fixes AIs and borgs having a double "That's Default Cyborg!"
removed some \n newlines
minor code edits

* removes all <hr>
bold names in get_examine_name()
cleaned up plant analyzer output formatting
adjust colors and margins of examine_block class
remove \a from borg examine()

* remove max-width from css

* changed margin and padding units from px to em

* minor edit
