* Makes deadchat control's examine only shows up for ghosts (#57926)
This PR early returns the on_examine proc for deadchat control if the examiner is not an observer.
So, only ghosts (deadchat) are allowed to see if something is under deadchat control. Humans don't need to know (or shouldn't know) if deadchat is expanding its reach into the physical realm.

* 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.

admin: Calling a proc while another admin is calling one will no longer wait for the first to finish. You will simply just have to call it again.
