* Show balloon alert to viewers, no more async (#59256)
Adds balloon_alert_to_viewers, which provides a visible_message-esque interface to show balloon alerts around you. Use sparingly, as I'd also like for Runechat emotes to take this place (such as sneezing not showing in chat, but having an emote).
balloon_alert no longer yields, letting it be used in SHOULD_NOT_SLEEP(TRUE) procs, like signal handlers.
Balloon alerts now use get_atom_on_turf(src), meaning if used on mobs they will move with them, rather than on their tile.
* Internal balloon alert tweaks

* Balloon alerts - Text for minor actions w/o other feedback (#59130)
Currently only applies to beakers changing amounts as a proof of concept of an action that we can't really provide any non-text feedback on, as opposed to something you could have different sounds for.
Inspired by SS14.
Why It's Good For The Game
In the right place, balloon alerts will let you keep your eyes on the game itself, rather than constantly looking at the chat. This is especially important when chat messages will collapse into each other. This is in most cases warranted, but can make other cases (such as changing beaker amounts) confusing.
