Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it,
`attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the
resulting attack
This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more
definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not
unarmed attacks.
This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer
hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight
into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons
don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for
swing combat).

refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly
count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities,
particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning.
refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been
refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives.
Report any strange happenings with damage numbers.
refactor: A few objects have been moved to the new interaction chain -
records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges,
restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few.
fix: Spears only deal bonus damage against secure lockers, not all
closet types (including crates)

People can now pet held mothroaches and pugs if they want to, or use
items on them, hopefully without causing many issues. After all, it only
took about a couple dozen lines of code to make...
...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps
catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong
branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to
be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params
instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have
had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish
here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our
attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead
of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's
2025, honey, wake up!
I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there
are just way too many of them.
Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while
holding them too.

qol: You can now interact with held mobs in more ways beside wearing
them.

* Micro-optimize qdel by only permitting one parameter (#80628)
Productionizes #80615.
The core optimization is this:
```patch
- var/hint = to_delete.Destroy(arglist(args.Copy(2))) // Let our friend know they're about to get fucked up.
+ var/hint = to_delete.Destroy(force) // Let our friend know they're about to get fucked up.
```
We avoid a heap allocation in the form of copying the args over to a new
list. A/B testing shows this results in 33% better overtime, and in a
real round shaving off a full second of self time and 0.4 seconds of
overtime--both of these would be doubled in the event this is merged as
the new proc was only being run 50% of the time.

* Basic Mob Raw Prophet (#78733)
## About The Pull Request
Might as well start on these now, should be easy enough.
The Raw Prophet actually comes with a couple of new components.
The `wheel` element is sort of like the `waddling` element in that you
give it to any movable atom to have it move like a raw prophet.
Whee!
The focused attacker component can be attached to any mob or item and
causes it to escalate its damage every time you attack the same target.
I'll be honest I consistently forget that the Raw Prophet does this.
The ones in the Ruin have the blinding gaze attack inherited from
Watchers instead of the point-target Blind spell in order to ensure that
you can actually "dodge" it.
I tried to make it jaunt if it got stuck but ran into too many problems.
Another time.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I do this to relax now.
## Changelog

refactor: Raw Prophets now use the basic mob framework. Please report
any unusual behaviour.
