Requested by oranges and inspired by the upcoming event. A new subsyetem, non-processing (for now), aimed at providing some toggle switches that can be flipped as a last ditch effort to save some CPU cycles by sacrificing some non-critical mechanics. Below you can see each individual toggle.

Surely there are more opportunities for toggles I missed, but adding new ones is not very difficult at all.
Why It's Good For The Game
Better performance during extreme pop, I hope.
Changelog
cl
code: Introduces the Lag Switch subsystem for when a smoother experience is worth trading a few bells and whistles for. Performance enhancement measures can be togged by admins with the Show Lag Switches admin verb or enabled automatically at a pop amount set via config.
config: Added a new config var: number/auto_lag_switch_pop
About The Pull Request
Extools maptick stuff is in the game. Stolen from BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet#1119, improves performance. Requires ex-tools on the server, though.
Explosions have been refactored to do the actual exploding in a subsystem.
Credit to goon.
Here's some videos!
Why It's Good For The Game
Basically instant max-caps now.
We can now give more of a tick over to the sending of map updates

About The Pull Request
The thing other than ruining maps that I was working on
Refactors VV to use a more standard way of doing topic dropdown options rather than a huge if/else chain
Marking datums is now a right click option
Moves a few files around too/few procs
Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it easier to add more VV dropdown options in the future, and moving href list keys to defines make misspelling them harder.
Changelog
cl
add: Oh yeah also added a "return value of proccall" option for VV var editing.
refactor: View Variables has been refactored. It should now be easier to make VV dropdown options.
