Subject: [PATCH] Bluespace Light Replacer no longer has a range restriction
 (#90829)

## About The Pull Request

The bluespace light replacer is totally underwhelming by having its
range limited to what's in view; this pull request removes the range
restriction entirely. Now the only restriction is being on the same
z-level.
## Why It's Good For The Game

The bluespace light replacer already can't be emagged, so limiting its
range to what's in your immediate view seems pointless; light fixtures
are already hard-as-hell to click, so some bored HoP or Warden replacing
a few lights through their camera console isn't going to invalidate the
janitor. As well, it gives antag janitors a plausible reason to ask for
a security camera console to be installed in their office.
