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.

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
Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)

This PR adds station traits which are essentially small changes to a normal round that can be used to create small variations in how a round might play out, sometimes there might be only one, very simple trait, but you might have a round where they have a somewhat bigger impact, to make rounds feel slightly more different from each other.
The following traits have been added:
Positive:
Lucky winner - Free pizza and beer every 6-12 minutes
Galactic Grant - Larger starting funds for cargo
Premium internals boxes - emergency box has flare + radio as bonus
Bountiful bounties - Bounties pay 20% more
Strong supply lines - Imports 20% cheaper
Filled maint - More loot in maint
Fast shuttle - Cargo shuttle is faster
Free scarves - Free scarfs if a slot is free
Neutral:
Bananium shipment - Clown starts with 5 sheets of bananium (Neutral because this helps noone but the clown)
Unnatural atmosphere - Lava planet can get more restricted gasses
Unique AI - Random lawset at roundstart for AI
Ian adventure - Ian teleports to a random spot on the station
Glitched PDAs - PDA's have a different beep
Announcer intern - Changes the announcement messages to sound like they're from an intern at Centcom
Negative:
Carp infestation - Carp event is more common and can start earlier
Weak supply lines - Imports 20% more expensive
Blackout - Station lights are partially broken around the station
Empty maint - Less loot in maint
Overflow bureacracy mistake - Random overflow job (From a vetted list)
Late Arrivals - Everyone starts in arrivals
Random spawns - Random spawn location (by drop pod)
Slow shuttle - Cargo shuttle is slower

About The Pull Request
Dynamic 2021, among much other things, splits the threat level into two separate budgets, one for round start and one for midround/latejoin. You can read the design doc, plus methodology and charts here: https://hackmd.io/@tgstation/S1C4dYJkO.
To server owners: this is incompatible with current dynamic.json configurations. This is not just because some fields have different values now, but because the older values are not balanced towards this system.
Inidividual list of changes (as I remember them):
Threat level is now split into two separate budgets, one for round start and one for midround/latejoin.
In TESTING, you can now run dynamic simulations to see the roundstart picks.
antag_cap is now based on an equation rather than a fixed list of antags per indice--the old system is not scalable. You can now pass it either a number for a fixed constant, or a list with "denominator" and an optional "offset" to fit the equation ceil(x / denominator) + offset, with x being population.
Midround/latejoin timers are now vars on /datum/game_mode/dynamic itself, and thus can be configured by head admins per server.
Removes some older, as far as I can tell completely unused admin tools relating to dynamic.
autotraitor_cooldown is now properly respected from config, and is based on an exact time rather than on ticks (450 used to be 15 minutes, now it's just 15 MINUTES).
The rulesets dynamic chooses are now in a dynamic.json file in round logs. Relies on tgstation/tgstation13.org#64 to be public.
Adds more logging to the autotraitor ruleset for admins.
Midround/latejoin chance modifiers are now configurable.
Labelled "Do Not Merge", as the design doc outlines the specific playtesting schedule I would like to perform.
Note to self: Remove the custom MOTD before merge.
Why It's Good For The Game
(Copied from design doc)
Dynamic currently dumps as much threat as it can into round start threats. This means that rounds at ~50 threat can have an absurd amount of antagonists round start, while leaving very little threat for midround/latejoin antagonists. What inevitably happens is just one of those picked decides to murderbone, leading to the inevitable 20 minute shuttle call. Furthermore, once those antagonists are dead, Dynamic doesn’t have any threat left to spend on new antagonists that keep the round flowing, promoting the mentality of “antags dead, I’m bored, let’s leave”.
The proposed solution of Dynamic 2021 is to split threat level into two separate budgets, one for round start and one for midround/latejoin. This split, like threat level, will also be done on a lorentz curve–meaning that while most rounds will have them evenly split, there is still the possibility of chaotic high antagonist round start rounds, or the possibility of a midround onslaught.
Moves buttons for forcing dynamic rulesets from game panel to game mode panel,
and as a side effect fixes forced midround/latejoin rulesets ignoring configurations.
Also fixes forced roundstart rules ignoring configs.
I re-styled the CSS for the stat panel in hopes to make it look nice, and I also added the ability to use sub-categories (currently a single level) of verbs using a . (period), an example being Admin.Fun instead of the previous Admin - Fun. This now results in a sub-category being automagically generated in the stat panel.
There are a number of methods of assuming direct control of mobs or giving other players direct control. I have made sure these now appropriately update verbs.
Shamelessly ripped the functionality from /mob/dead/observer/verb/reenter_corpse() - It seemed to do what I wanted to accomplish in the same context.
I couldn't find any other method to refresh the verbs tab.
Its all over the place, messy, and overall a bad enough gamemode to be removed from rotation.
A rework would have to tear out everything as is so there is no reason to allow the shitcode to live beyond tripping up everything.
This PR changes the message pipeline a little bit to support list-based messages, which can be annotated with custom data. Function signature of to_chat was slightly changed as well:
// Plain text message
to_chat(client,
type = MESSAGE_TYPE_INFO,
text = "foo")
// HTML message
to_chat(client,
type = MESSAGE_TYPE_INFO,
html = "<span class='notice'>foo</span>")
Old to_chat format is still supported, but handle_whitespace, trailing_newline and confidential flags have no effect. confidential flag could still be revived though, if there is enough merit in it, for example to filter out confidential messages when saving a chat log.
The reason for using /list and not /datum, is because lists are plain faster, and there are minimal data transformations - these lists are fed directly to json_encode and sent to tgchat.
Plain text messages do not need to be HTML-escaped, which makes them safer and more performant than HTML messages. Plain text messages can be made interactive (or formatted with CSS) by custom-handling them in javscript based on message type and annotations.
It would be impossible to annotate every single message in the game (at the moment of writing, there are 9447 to_chat calls in the code), but it could be done selectively, for only those messages that are hard to classify by span classes (and there are still A LOT of them).
Please annotate more messages. Thank you.

Replaces goonchat with a tgui based chat panel
Fixes#52898Fixes#52663
It is as fast as goonchat was (if not faster in certain circumstances), and is very extensible. It has all the necessary code for sorting messages into categories, which means that one of the next features will be multiple tab support.
Additional features that you will get with tgchat right now:
Massively faster server-side performance compared to goonchat, especially if batching multiple messages to one client.
Message persistence across rounds and reconnects. (All messages are stored client-side in IndexedDB)
More robust scroll tracking. If you scroll up, it will not change the scroll position on new messages like goonchat did.
Multiple message combining. (Currently set to combine up to 5 messages over last 5 seconds).
If using the highlighting feature, it highlights the whole message as well as the matching word.
"Now playing" widget, with preview of the song title, a knob for adjusting the volume and a stop button.
Architecture is as following:
```
to_chat() -+
|
SSchat
(queue, batching)
|
window.send_message()
|
v
+-------------+
| tgui-panel |
|+-----------+|
|| tgchat ||
|+-----------+|
+-------------+
```
Subsystem is basically goonchat, but without all the garbage that slows the servers down (string concatenation, double urlencoding, sanitizing, etc). Now, instead of all that, it's being slowed down by json_encode in /datum/tgui_window/proc/send_message, which IMO is completely worth it, and allows sending various templates and widgets to tgchat.
/datum/tgui_window abstracts the whole window away from you, establishes a nice message-passing interface between DM and JS, with two message queues on each side, automatically loads js/css assets for you, basically does everything. You as a developer only have to worry about sending/receiving messages and write javascript.
tgui-panel is a slimmed down version of tgui, and functions as a container for various widgets, and tgchat is one of them. It of course can be expanded with more stuff.
It's also a separate entry point and a JS bundle, so it's not bloating the main tgui bundle, and is currently sitting at about 230kB.
Admins will now be able to look up a player's bans from several other servers via the player panel.
My hope is that porting this to as many servers as possible will encourage more servers to make their bans publicly viewable so they can be included in this system. Direct access to a server's database is not required (or even supported).
Supported servers:
BeeStation
/vg/station
OracleStation
FTL13
Fulpstation
TGMC
Planned support (WIP):
World Server
Yogstation
Halo: SSE
Any other server willing to make their bans publicly visible.

About The Pull Request
Port the dynamic gamemode from /vg/.
(Really bad explanation of the mode incoming.)
The dynamic game mode generates a threat number which is used to "buy" rulesets (rulesets are basically your antagonists). This means you can have rounds with for example traitors and cult (you can have up to three roundstart rulesets depending on the pop and threat level), and then there are latejoin and midround rulesets which basically do what they say (latejoin ruleset assigns late joining player as an antagonists and midround assigns ghosts or a currently alive player as an antagonist)
Why It's Good For The Game
This increases the chances of people getting their important antagonist role and makes rounds more interesting (when cultists gets their hand on wizard's magic) when everything can happen at the same time (cult, wiz and traitor could happen on high threat level).

🆑 coiax
admin: New 'Podspawn' verb, which functions like 'Spawn', except
any atoms movable spawned will be dropped in via a no-damage, no-explosion
Centcom supply pod.
/🆑
Essentially, sometimes you want to spawn stuff in, quickly, in an adhoc manner.
Use of the full Centcom launchbay is fine if you're doing a full blown drop or event
or want some customisation, but sometimes you want a quick supply pod.
The admin smite "Supply Pod (Quick)" has been used for this purpose, but it has a side
effect of setting people on fire and damaging them, which isn't what you want
if it's just for spawning stuff in.
* Adds option to Game Panel->Create Object
* Code review I
Spiritual successor and extension to #17798, an almost entire rebuild of the SQL ban system backend and interface.
Bantypes are removed per #8584 and #6174. All bans are now 'role bans', server bans are when a ban's role is server. Admin bans are a column, meaning it's possible to ban admins from jobs.
Bans now have only an expiry datetime, duration is calculated from this when queried.
unbanned column is removed as it's superfluous, checking unban status is now done through checking unban_datetime. unban_round_id column added. Each ip and computerid columns rearranged so ip is always first, like in other tables. Bans now permit a null ckey, ip and computerid.
Ban checking is split into two procs now is_banned_from() does a check if a ckey is banned from one or more roles and returns true or false. This effectively replaces jobban_isbanned() used in simple if() statements. If connected a client's ban cache is checked rather than querying the DB. This makes it possible for a client connected to two or more servers to ignore any bans made on one server until their ban cache is rebuilt on the others. Could be avoided with cross-server calls to update ban caches or just the removal of the ban cache but as is I've done neither since I think it's enough of an edge case to not be worth it.
The second proc is is_banned_from_with_details(), this queries the DB for a role ban on a player's ckey, ip or CID and returns the details. This replaces direct queries in IsBanned.dm and the preferences menu.
The legacy ban system is removed.
The interfaces for banning, unbanning and editing bans have been remade to require less clicking and easier simultaneous operations. The banning and jobban panel are combined. They also store player connection details when opened so a client disconnecting no longer stops a ban being placed.
New banning panel:
Key, IP and CID can all be toggled to allow excluding them from a ban.
Checking Use IP and CID from last connection lets you enter only a ckey and have the DB fill these fields in for you, if possible.
Temporary bans have a drop-menu which lets you select between seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years so you don't need to calculate how many minutes a long ban would be. The ban is still converted into minutes on the DB however.
Checking any of the head roles will check both of the boxes for you.
The red role box indicates there is already a ban on that role for this ckey. You can apply additional role bans to stack them.
New unbanning panel:
Unbanning panel is now separate from the banning panel but otherwise functionally the same.
Ban editing panel:
Actually just a modified banning panel, all the features from it work the same here.
You can now edit almost all parameters of a ban instead of just the reason.
You can't edit severity as it's not really part of the ban.
The panels have been tested but I've not been able to get my local server to be accessible so ban functionality isn't properly confirmed. Plenty of testing will be required as I'd rather not break bans.
cl
admin: Ban interface rework. The banning and unbanning panels have received a new design which is easier to use and allows multiple role bans to be made at once.
prefix: Ban search and unbanning moved to unbanning panel, which is now a separate panel to the old banning panel.
