## About The Pull Request
This adds a new "Prison Block" holodeck simulation, accessible only when
the holodeck safeties are disabled (or emagged). The layout features
four functional jail cells with holographic flashers, a security desk,
evidence lockers, an electric death chair, and camera/record consoles.

## Why It's Good For The Game
While many departments have dedicated holodeck programs, Security
currently lacks a specialized simulation. By placing a functional brig
within an emagged simulation, we create opportunities for emergent
scenarios:
- Antagonists now have more non-lethal options to detain and hold
personnel
- Security now has a backup brig during station emergencies
- Power cuts, EMPs, or AI intervention can trigger instant prison breaks
- With the press of a button, switching the simulation can transform it
into a death trap for everyone inside
This creates high-tension gameplay for both the captors and the
captives.
The electric chair was only used in the pirate shuttle (ruin?) and
didn't work properly, so it needed some code updates. Also, I did not
like how insulated gloves prevented electric shocks from working, so I
made it bypass insulation.
I had to add holodeck versions of brig lockers and security windoors so
now any ID can open windoors/lockers. People cannot open
windoors/lockers without an ID, so you must strip them of their ID when
imprisoning them, otherwise they can just walk out.
## Changelog
🆑
map: Added a "Prison Block" holodeck simulation, accessible via the
disabled safety/emagged menu.
code: Fixed electric chairs to work, and they now bypass insulation from
gloves when executing a mob.
code: Added holodeck versions of brig lockers and windoors that allow
anyone with a station ID card to access them.

Its nothing too fancy, really. Just a humble holodeck template.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Players can socialize and get pumped with the virtual gymnasium for the
holodeck. Also helps for smaller maps without ample dormitory space for
fitness devices.
## Changelog
🆑
map: Added a virtual gymnasium to the holodeck.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new holodeck layout that features a TGC card fighting arena,
complete with holographic representations of your cards. Cards act the
same as physical cards when displayed except you can see the stats of
the cards without needing to inspect and the cards stats can be modified
on the fly for keeping track of equipment.
Example:
## Why It's Good For The Game
TGC is a significantly more complicated game then the other ones we have
like UNO and CAS and is extremely messy to play on a table ingame, this
provides a much clearer way of visualizing the game by having all active
creature stats on full display at all times without having to rely on
inspecting cards to check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Introducing a new holodeck map, the TGC Arena, featuring hologram
projectors for your trading cards.
fix: Janitor and Intern TGC cards are now considered creatures rather
than just humans.
balance: The price of card packs has been reduced from double a paycheck
to 3 quarters of one.
balance: The number of cards available in the good clean fun vendor has
been doubled.
/🆑
Adds baseballs to the game (There is a baseball field in the holodeck).
You can now bat thrown objects with the baseball bat to launch them away at high speed.

Why It's Good For The Game
it could be fun to have a game of baseball, and people trying to bat an item thrown at them sounds funny

Refactors the holodeck to use map templates instead of copy_contents_to, which every maintainer seems to have complaints about.
Fixes#41485 because the matches become part of the spawned list created by ssatoms
Fixes#54789 because the holodeck area no longer has the NO_TELEPORT flag
Fixes#55676 because the map templates cant be changed midround unlike the program copies in the centcom z level
Fixes#49318 because the holodeck no longer creates new areas like the original did
This pr also changes initTemplateBounds to be a /datum/map_template proc instead of a parsed_map proc. This was mainly so I wouldn't have to duplicate vars between map_template and parsed_map. It's also nice because there's no longer a parsed_map proc inside the map_template file, especially when it didn't need to be a parsed_map proc.
The holodeck sims wont take up space in the centcom z level any more (which allows for more possible programs in the future), and map templates are more heavily tested. This is also a chance to future proof the holodeck against bugs. Holodeck also seems more responsive. This should allow for a second custom holodeck in some future ruin as well, although that of course will not be in play for the near future because of the offstation content ban. Also I documented the fuck out of the holodeck
