and mechanics!

**🟨Voidwalker mob changes🟨**
No longer a human species and no more void eater. Instead deals damage
by simple unarmed attacks.
Instead of dealing brute, the voidwalker does oxygen damage (4-5 hits to
knock out) with left-click, and slight brute on right click. Non-human
mobs automatically take brute damage instead of oxygen damage.
150 HP
33% burn armor
Yes it has hands, but it can only pick up and drop stuff
**🟨Window phase🟨**
Instead of needing to smash a window with the void eater, moving through
windows simply leaves them passable for 5 seconds. Makes kidnapping a
lot easier, but also makes it easier for people to chase you
People who used the voided skull also leave windows passable for a short
bit.
**🟩Cosmic Charge🟩**
Standard charge ability, but only lets you charge towards space and
works while dragging people
**🟩The Vomitwalker🟩**
People you kidnapped now occasionally do the nebula vomit, which
voidwalkers can use to dive from and into
Diving into it is very fast but also removes the nebula vomit. You can
also kidnap people into the vomit (this doesn't remove the vomit).
There is also a little UI for tracking this. Clicking it while in space
dive teleports you to the next nebula vomit, if there are any.
**🟨Voided people changes🟨**
Kidnapped people and people that used the cosmic skull are no longer
muted, but take 10% extra brute and occasionally leave behind glass
shards when taking a lot of damage.
Are no longer obliterated on a second encounter with voidwalkers.
Voidwalkers can't hurt people they've already voided (unless they really
want to), but instead just knock them out for 30s
Also the kidnapped do space vomit as I said earlier.
**🟩Sunwalker🟩**
Voidwalker variant made for pure murderbone. Has no camo and kindap
mechanics, but has a fiery charge, loads of damage and area igniting and
people ignition. It's admin, but I might change this later once I've had
some more time to think about it.
Other changes:
- Voidwindows no longer need to be space adjacent
- Unsettle works faster but can't be used in combat anymore
- Space camo now grants complete space invisibility
- Makes a lot of aspects easily moddable, so we can easily mod it into a
moistwalker in-game
- Taking a cosmic skull when you already used one gives you the old
voidwalker void eater arm. Additional uses just gives you more void
eater arms until you run out of hands
- I definitely forgot a lot more
- I made a cool voidwalker hud! It even has a unique space camo toggle

<summary>Lot of text</summary>
Voidwalker was basically a snowflaked toghether human species because I
didn't know how to sprite, but I was able to work with species and
visual effects. Then I realized I can just commission sprites!
This also let me just cut out a lot of the snowflake code, because it's
no longer a human so half the things I didn't want them to be able to
do, they just literally cannot do.
Voidwalkers were in a bit of strange spot with kidnapping? There was
essentially no incentive, other than "smash spaceman = funny". They also
had issues doing, anything? There's surprisingly little space on a space
station, especially maps such as tram. Making the voided victims have
nebula vomit gives the voidwalker a reason to WANT to kidnap, by giving
them a way to appear basically anywhere on the station. I don't think
it's too overpowered. Voided people don't vomit that much, it's easily
cleanable and diving into it removes them, so they're limited usability.
Replacing the brute damage with oxygen damage also kinda... just makes
sense? I seriously contemplated letting them do stamina damage for the
first iteration, but opted not to do it because stamina damage has so
many hooks attached. Oxygen damage doesn't! It's also just incredibly
thematic, let's them bypass most armor and makes them more suited to
non-letha kidnappings.
Space camo making them completely invisible was also long overdue. It
was literally just urging people to turn up their gamma and turn down
their parallax settings. I thought it was an interesting mechanic, but
it's just straight up unfair and doesn't belong in a multiplayer game.
They now more frequently leave behind little glass shards, leave
particles from nebula vomit they leave from and have more unique sound
effects, so attentive (and lucky) people can still deduce if an area is
safe-ish.
I removed being able to shatter voided people because the mechanic was
deeply misunderstood. It was intended to give them a means of removing
people if they kept incessently bothering the voidwalker, but people
went out of their way to use this to roundremove people they had already
voided. The 30s sleep conveys my intention a lot better, and fits better
now that the voidwalker benefits from having as many voided people
vomitting all over the place.
The cosmic charge gives them some much needed survivability. My
experiences (in observing voidwalkers, I can never get the roll ;_;) is
that they're constantly one mistake away from complete obliteration. The
cosmic charge let's them get out quick despite their slow movement speed
in gravity. It also makes them stronger when fighting in space.
They got 33% burn armor so it's a tiny bit harder to wipe them away in a
single laser salvo, while still giving people ample opportunity to fight
them off . Also they're like glass or something so it fits thematically.
I gave them hands because I thought it was cool, might be a mistake idk

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.

* Refactors firestacks into status effects (#66573)
This PR refactors firestacks into two status effects: fire_stacks, which behave like normal firestacks you have right now, and wet_stacks, which are your negative fire stacks right now. This allows for custom fires with custom behaviors and icons to be made.
Some fire related is moved away from species(what the fuck was it even doing there) into these as well.
Oh and I fixed the bug where monkeys on fire had a human fire overlay, why wasn't this fixed already, it's like ancient.
Also changed some related proc names to be snake_case like everything should be.
This allows for custom fire types with custom behaviours, like freezing freon fire or radioactive tritium fire. Removing vars from living and moving them to status effects for modularity is also good.
Nothing to argue about since there's nothing player-facing
* Hud Image Culling By Z Level: Theft edition (#65189)
* makes hud images only apply by z level
* makes some of the atom_hud procs have better names
* fixes warning with the hud_user list and adds better documentation
* better docs for hud_images
* removes TODOs
* docs for hud_list
* adds support for linked z levels so mobs can see lower ones
* fixes merge conflict and shittily makes only shocked airlocks get added
* adds support for setting images in the hud as active and inactive
* gets rid of unatomic spatial grid change
* maybe i should actually try COMPILING my changes
* fixes merge skew and makes it compile again
* fixes huds refusing to remove from users who changed z level
* improves z level and registration logic
* fixes antag huds not appearing
* Fixes antag huds not properly setting. We now use hud_list in init, so it needs to be set before the new call, not after. Not sure why the use of appearance key was split like this, but none else knows either so none can stop me
* Ensures that hiding a basic appearance also hides the atom's active list too
* Fixes antag huds going poof
Ensures that remove_atom_from_hud will return false if the passed atom
isn't managed by it
This fixes antag huds disappearing randomly, since they assumed that if
the parent call of remove_atom_from_hud returned true, we should delete
ourselves. This is a safe assumption for them to make, since they should
only ever have one atom.
Does kinda bork if we call remove_atom_from_hud in a way that is unsure
if the passed atom is actually in that list. We were forced into doing
this by how atom huds use the qdeleting signal.
* makes basic alternate_appearance's only update themselves when setting their hud image to active and makes them not add themselves to the global huds_by_category list
* fixes mistake with hud_users list being set non associatively (bad)
* as anything in bot path loops
* Fixes merge skew problems
* Makes bot paths non global
This way they can show themselves to only the bot that "owns" them, ya
feel me?
* Fixes huds not showing up sometimes, cleans up some code
Post Kapu's limb refactor, we were calling prepare_huds twice in a human
init call chain. What was happening was this:
call prepare_huds() // Human
I gained a new hud image
I set active hud icons to mirror it
call prepare_huds() // Living
I overwrote the new hud image
I attempted to set active hud icons, which failed because it assumes
this can never happen
*cries*
* Renames add_hud_to_atom to show_to
My hope is this will make understanding hud code a bit easier, by tying
the behavior to a "verb" more closely. Also renamed a few vars
* remove_hud_from_mob -> hide_from
* Nitpicks a few comments
* Whoops/fuck/shit/damn it all/hhhhhhhhhhhh
* Moves check down, improves stack trace a bit

* Adds SIGNAL_HANDLER and SIGNAL_HANDLER_DOES_SLEEP to prevent signal callbacks from blocking (#52761)
Adds SIGNAL_HANDLER, a macro that sets SHOULD_NOT_SLEEP(TRUE). This should ideally be required on all new signal callbacks.
Adds BLOCKING_SIGNAL_HANDLER, a macro that does nothing except symbolize "this is an older signal that didn't necessitate a code rewrite". It should not be allowed for new work.
This comes from discussion around #52735, which yields by calling input, and (though it sets the return type beforehand) will not properly return the flag to prevent attack from slapping.
To fix 60% of the yielding cases, WrapAdminProcCall no longer waits for another admin's proc call to finish. I'm not an admin, so I don't know how many behinds this has saved, but if this is problematic for admins I can just make it so that it lets you do it anyway. I'm not sure what the point of this babysitting was anyway.
Requested by @optimumtact.
