* Tracers: Migrate to use new rendering system (#61963)
This fixes Emitters, beam_rifle, and more.
The great rendering refactor (#61286) changed how rendering worked.
Entities need to have a usable plane to render to. This isn't normally
a problem, as sensible defaults are set very low in the type path.
However, tracer effects use an appearance override, which was missing
the plane definition.
This adds the plane to the appearance used when apply_vars is called,
by copying it from the holding entity.
* Fix Emitters, and everything that uses hitscan beams.

* Layer overhaul (#57915)
## About The Pull Request
Changes up some layer and plane defines for no particular reason lol
## Why It's Good For The Game
Planes actually override layers, and layers control ordering within planes. A lot of the usage of plane and layer was wholly unnecessary. This refactor helps future maintainability while also being needed staging for _future features._

* moves gun related icons to guns folder (#57077)
moves ammo icons, projectile icons and hitscan effect icons to guns folder
renames projectile.dmi to ballistic.dmi so its less confusing
moves rcd ammo from ammo.dmi to tools.dmi with the rcd
* moves gun related icons to guns folder

experimental: Hitscanning tracers now have lighting effects
experimental: Projectile pathing has been changed - instead of moving to a turf 32 pixels forward using byond's built in step_towards() proc, it now increments 2 pixel 16 times (subject to change). While this will increase the processing overhead, this will more or less eliminate cases of "projectiles clipping past corners in some angles but not others".
It is my belief that science weaponry should exist but not be "just better energy guns/whatever". Right now, portal guns are actually pretty powerful, as their random teleport can space people (especially if they have bohs), and actually does burn damage, albeit very little. I want to make scilathe weapons into useful utility things that can be weaponized if you use it right and in somewhat niche scenarios.
This PR will make wormhole projectors into more utility than combat.
Moves beam rifle snowflake code up to projectile level for a proper hitscan system.

rscadd: Chameleon laser guns now have a special firing mode, activated by using them in hand! Only certain gun disguises will allow this to work!
