Fixes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/88366
Eliminates worries over virtualspace currency being sent to real
accounts.
When I was looking into why there were no flags for bitrunning areas.
Then I saw this mess:

/>
Not having enough space / being too lazy to refactor this is a silly
reason to not include flags for something like these virtual areas where
it can be quite helpful. Fortunately I am not too lazy ~~in this
moment~~ so here we go:
It was fairly logical to move over some of these to a separate flag,
which I've called `area_flags_mapping` since they pertain to maploading
things and terrain generation mostly. `area_flags` stays reserved for
general properties and now has more room than it did before for you
people to fill it with.
In doing this it's also neatened up the code quit a bit, as UNIQUE_AREA
was kind of everywhere and now that it's implied by default less areas
need to have it defined (or explicitly un-defined).

## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes an exploit, improves the area flags situation slightly.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: you can no longer send money from virtualspace to a real account
code: adds a flag for virtual areas so they can easily be checked, as
well as an easy helper proc, 'is_area_virtual(your_area)'
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
Adds a new area flag, LOCAL_TELEPORT.
This flag allows teleports ONLY in the same area that the teleport is
used. This allows for short range hijinks without enabling long range
exploits, and thus it's given to DMs and domains.
Changed almost all area_flags & NO_TELEPORT checks to use
check_teleport() (as now areas may use local_teleport instead, and this
lets them check for multiple things instead)
Thus I re-added Void Phase to the heretic scribe in DM and shuffled some
stuff around
(realizing now i neglected to doublecheck if blade breaking tps you to
station. need to check just in case)
## Why It's Good For The Game
It sucks you can't use teleporting abilities in temporary areas, so this
is a good way to allow this to still happen without opening the way for
gamebreaking exploits.
## Changelog
🆑
code: Adds a new area flag, LOCAL_TELEPORT, given to virtual domains and
deathmatch arenas.
code: Re-added Void Phase to Heretic Scribes in Deathmatch's Ragnarok

## About The Pull Request
- Fixes#76827
This removes gravity from the following areas:
- Solars
- Nearstation
- Space
- Ordnance bomb testing
##### Note - Asteroid areas (Tram) or planet areas (Ice) are not
affected.
<details>
<summary>Examples of outside gravity turfs</summary>
</details>
Now stepping on floor plating in those areas will result in mobs
drifting. (like they do inside the station when gravity is offline)
Stepping on or near catwalks, lattices, or walls stills controls your
movement. Also refactored a little bit of the `has_gravity` code to use
defines instead of `TRUE/FALSE`.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency. Mag boots are highly recommended when performing EVA.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fix gravity for areas in space near station (solars, nearspace,
bomb testing, etc.)

## About The Pull Request
I've recently realized that bitrunning fishing spots can steal the
limited loot from outside the virtual reality, which sucks. Also Livrah
asked me why the treasure chest is anchored, to which I said it's
actually an oversight.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixing stuff.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Bitrunning fishing spots no longer deplete limited loot from
outside the virtual reality.
fix: The treasure chest from the beach is no longer anchored to the
floor.

## About The Pull Request
Basically the title, Abductors can no longer teleport into NOTELEPORT
areas except for the abductor ship. This now also removes the
ABDUCTOR_PROOF bitflag and replaces it with a check for ai monitored
areas

## About The Pull Request
This touches up on the bitrunning ghost roles that come with some maps,
namely Corsair Cove and Syndicate Assault.
The gist of it is: Ghost role spawners and Digital Anomalies (the random
event boss mobs) are now restricted from entering the VDOM safehouse,
and other areas where critical equipment is stored.
Here's an example from Syndicate Assault -- The X-ed out area is
considered "out of bounds" for digital anomalies/ghost roles:
Additionally, this also fixes the matter of pirate ghost role spawns
creating their own antag datum/pirate team, which would carry into the
roundend report. Since these are no longer legitimate pirate spawners
and are now specifically designed spawners for virtual domains.
Naturally, emagging the server jailbreaks all of these restrictions and
notifies any virtual entities.
The new subtype of spawners should also be scalable enough that new
VDOMs should be able to implement new ghost role spawners with ease.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's one thing to have sentient mobs to fight, which can shake up the
otherwise somewhat static nature of bitrunning maps, but when players
are tossing equipment, spawncamping, or otherwise making it impossible
for the runners to fight them it ends up being unfun for everyone
involved. You can't get into a good fight with a bitrunner avatar if
their only recourse is to wipe the map and everything (YOU) in it.
This ensures a level of fairness between the (typically vindictive)
ghost roles of a VDOM and the players.
Also, pirate spawns don't make a new pirate team/datum. That's one of
the fixes I was aiming for with this.
## Changelog

balance: Virtual domain ghost roles can no longer enter the
safehouse/"equipment" areas of a domain.
fix: Pirate virtual domain ghost roles will no longer make a pirate team
antag datum.

## About The Pull Request
Converts the bitrunning areas from a station area subtype to a cargo
area subtype.
`/area/station/bitrunning -> /area/station/cargo/bitrunning`
`/area/station/bitrunning/den -> /area/station/cargo/bitrunning/den`
This includes an updatepaths script. Neat!
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's a cargo role, and it's always located within cargo. I think it's a
cargo area. Unity for _all_ jobs under the great Cargonian umbrella!
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
code: Bitrunning/Bitrunning Den areas are now cargo area subtypes,
rather than station area subtypes.

## About The Pull Request
Reopened#78997
Larger patch for bitrunning that addresses a few issues.
- Two new antagonists: cyber tac and netguardian
- Quantum server emag opportunity
- Modular mob packs: Like random spawners, but for groups
- Antag spawning fixed: vdom antags now have up to a 10% chance to spawn
based on domains loaded
- Virtual domains are no longer all fullbright by default, only the
outdoorsy ones
- Actually deletes legion map file, since it was removed in #79424

The netguardian prime
The glitch effect - this mob is being mutated
Cyber tac (t2 antagonist)
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bitrunning antagonists are so incredibly rare that it's underwhelming
to play as one for the solid second they offer if you even get the role
- Bitrunners had basically no traitor route to follow, they became
assistants with black outfits
Fixes#79465
<details>
<summary>More info</summary>
Bitrunners don't have any type of traitor options. If they're made into
traitors, there's nothing bitrunner related they can do, and their
access is particularly bad so it's like they're a worse assistant. I've
coupled this with the bitrunning antagonist system, which is now
fixed.\. Bitrunners can now attempt to coax these entities to come onto
the station, however they are not given any form of allegiance for doing
so (and are quite counterable).
Previously, vdom antagonists relied on so many factors to spawn that it
basically wouldn't happen. Now, it runs on the server each time there is
a map loaded, with increasing probability as the round progresses. This
builds up the list of spawnable antagonists, of which two are new,
including an entirely new giant mech megafauna. This is the first
"megafauna-esque" basic mob in the game. Its AI is bad, it's really only
meant to be player controlled, but this does mean an admin can spawn
them. Being mech, they are very counterable with ion rifles and the
like.
Several refactors, rewrites, and overall bug fixes are included in this
PR.
Lastly, I added a framework for making bitrunner maps more random, the
modular mob spawning system, which works in conjunction with random
crate locations.
