Adds the surplus energy sword. This is found in the black market with a
reasonable probability of being stocked but at a pretty high cost.
The weapon otherwise functions as an energy sword, but with a
significantly lower amount of damage if you're not hitting someone who
is in a compromised position; such as being prone, staggered, attacked
from behind or incapacitated (like stuns).
After 20 hits, you need to recharge the sword by clicking it with the
right mouse button. After an interaction timer, the weapon recharges to
full. You can do this early if you'd like.
Energy swords default to WEIGHT_CLASS_HUGE while active.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've seen a few folk complain about a lack of particularly interesting
and potent melee weapons that might be floating around to find and
acquire. It'd also be somewhat funny for an actual traitor to have to
get through a pack of goons wielding shitty knockoffs of their own
energy sword.
This was actually my first ever idea for a PR back when I was first
starting the game but had absolutely no idea as to how to code or
anything. I was hardstuck on this for a long ass time. Now I guess I'm
doing it because I was reminded abotu that fact.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds the surplus energy sword; the mall katana of the future. It
cuts like shit, but if you're desperate enough, you could kill someone
with it. Just remember to keep it charged.
balance: Energy swords are huge objects while activated.

## About The Pull Request
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).
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
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)

## About The Pull Request
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.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while
holding them too.
## Changelog

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

## About The Pull Request
This is the first PR in a series attempting to modernize our damage and
armor, both from a code and a gameplay perspective. This part implements
unique attack animations, adds alternate attack modes for items and
fixes some minor oversights.
Items now have unique attack animation based on their sharpness - sharp
items are now swung in an arc, while pointy items are thrust forward.
This change is ***purely visual***, this is not swing combat. (However,
this does assign icon rotation data to many items, which should help
swing combat later down the line).
Certain items like knives and swords now have secondary attacks - right
clicks will perform stabbing attacks instead of slashing for a chance to
leave piercing wounds, albeit with slightly lower damage - trying to
stick a katana through someone won't get you very far!

Turns out that spears acted as oversized knives this entire time, being
SHARP_EDGED instead of SHARP_POINTY - in order for their animations to
make sense, they're now once again pointy (according to comment,
originally they were made sharp because piercing wounds weren't very
threatening, which is no longer the case)
Another major change is that structure damage is now influenced by armor
penetration - I am not sure if this is intentional or not, but attacking
item's AP never applied to non-mob damage.
Additionally, also fixes an issue where attack verbs for you and
everyone else may differ.
