In cases where you're creating an image to use as an overlay, it makes more sense to use a mutable_appearance if you can. The image will create a static appearance for not just the image but also each intermediate step if you change vars along the way. The mutable appearance avoids this unnecessary and expensive process. The only situation that requires an image instead of a mutable_appearance is if the overlay is supposed to be directional. MA's ignore direction while images don't. I dunno why, probably another BYOND-ism.
I added a convenience function, mutable_appearance(), designed to emulate image(). Also went ahead and set the default plane of /mutable_appearance to FLOAT_PLANE because it's fucking 0 by default.
Several overlays that were image() calls were changed to just text strings when I could. overlays += "string" has the same result as overlays += image(icon, "string") and saves a proc call.
* Partial sparks boilerplate reduction
- Lots of obects are making `/datum/effect_system/spark_spread`, setting
them up, firing them, and then not qdeling them afterwards.
- Makes a `do_sparks` global proc that takes the same arguments as `set_up`
and then calls `start` and then `qdel`
- Switches a bunch of things to use this proc
- Makes emitters keep their own spark_spread datum around, since they
spark so damn much.
- Also makes some things use timers and ports some things to Initialize.

The AI may now deploy to cyborgs prepared as AI shells. The module to do this may be research in the exosuit fabricator. Simply slot the module into a completed cyborg frame as with an MMI, or into a playerless (with no ckey) cyborg.
