* Allow spawner component to be instantiated with an empty list (#78188)
## About The Pull Request
Supplementary to ffd3edc22bFixes#78172
The spawner component could be added to arbitrary items by admins but
would always throw an error because it was passed an empty list. Admins
were not capable of providing anything _other_ than an empty list to it
on init, due to limitations in our interface.
We (I but I had help) broke this in #73645 by removing the default
"spawns carp" list.
It is still silly for it to default to spawning carp, but instead it can
now be instantiated with an empty list without breaking, and an admin
can then VV it to further modify the list to what they actually want it
to do.
## Changelog

admin: Admins can add/remove the spawner component from arbitrary items

* Goliath basic mob (#76754)
## About The Pull Request
Converts Goliaths to the basic mob framework and gives them some new
moves because I can't leave things well enough alone.
I am planning on touching all the lavaland fauna and then maybe even the
icebox ones if I haven't got bored. The Golaith is the first because it
is iconic.

Here's me getting killed by one as a demonstration. Despite my poor
performance I would contend that they aren't a _lot_ more dangerous, but
they are a little more dangerous.
The chief difference here is that they have two new attacks which they
will only use in response to being attacked.
If fired at from range, they will target the attacker with a line of
tentacles (it doesn't track you, so is easily sidestepped).
If attacked in melee, they will surround _themselves_ with tentacles, on
a longer cooldown.
Something else you may notice in this video: I discovered that basic
mobs are actually _too smart_ to be Lavaland fauna.
Typically (unlike their old form) a mob on our new AI system is smart
enough to attack someone _the moment they come into range_ rather than
only checking on predictable ticks, which would make using the Crusher
an essentially unviable prospect.
To counteract this, Goliaths now have a delayed attack component which
gives you a visual warning and short duration to get out of range before
they swing at you. I will probably put this on all mining fauna that get
reworked, it wouldn't be a terrible thing to put on other mobs to be
honest.
Other changes: The goliath stun is now a status effect with _buckles_
you to the tentacle as if grabbed, as well as its previous effects.
While this seems purely worse, any nearby helpers can now help-click on
you to instantly remove the debuff.
Experiencing the effect of a Lobstrosity Rush Gland makes you immune to
being grabbed by tentacles and an implanted one will automatically
trigger and free you if you are hit, and the explosive effect of
Brimdust also causes the tentacle to retract (although you'd need to
take damage for this to happen). Using the tools of the land, you can
make these creatures less threatening.
The ability for a Goliath to chain-apply the ability has now also been
reduced, it won't refresh its duration if you are hit when already
buckled.
When not occupied hounding miners, Goliaths will intermittently dig up
the asteroid sand and eat any worms that this produces.
I also made some new sprites for riding a Goliath because they've been
broken since the Lavaland mob update and also kind of were ugly before
then anyway:
Other code changes:
- I made an element which only lets an attached object move every x
seconds. This is because Goliaths are far too slow to use the speed
system (the glide just looks bugged as hell) but one thing I am invested
in when converting these is to make sure that they share the same
behaviour when player or AI controlled. This is disabled while you're
riding them because it was interminably slow.
- The Goliath tentacle trail uses a supertype object now shared with the
Meteor Heart which did something kind of similar.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It begins the process of moving one of our larger subsets of NPCs onto
the newer framework for NPC behaviour.
It adds a little bit more life to an iconic but slightly uninteresting
foe which mostly just walked at you slowly.
This PR contains a few components I expect to apply more widely to other
mobs in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Goliaths now use the Basic Mob framework, please report any
unusual behaviour.
add: Goliaths learned a couple of new attacks which they will use in
self-defence.
balance: Help-clicking a miner grabbed by Goliath tentacles will
immediately free them, as will the effect of several items you can
scavenge from around Lavaland.
image: New sprites for the Goliath saddle.

Replaces like 70-80% of 0 and such, as a side effect cleaned up a bunch of returns
Edit: Most left out ones are in mecha which should be done in mecha refactor already
Oh my look how clean it is

* 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.
Requested by @optimumtact.

If you came here thinking this was some game feature then you are in the wrong place. Here is where I ramble about code.
This adds /datum/element as a sort of sibling to components. Only one of each type gets instanced and they do not get tied directly to any particular thing like a component does. Basically they're a very lightweight component for doing simple functionality that doesn't have much state.
Originally this concept came about as a kind of component that could be shared between many parents to reduce some resource costs. Doing this would allow us to componentize more behaviors that are a part of too many things to be viable to have a whole component for every single one. For example a component on every space turf would be entirely unviable. With elements it's much more reasonable.
This implements a prety bare framework and a couple components are migrated to it. It's ready to be used but I fully expect I'm going to need to refine how it works for all the usecases we'll want it for.
Also: this fixes the qdeleted signal. This signal isn't even possible because after qdel is done there's nothing to receive a signal anyway. I've changed it to a qdeling signal instead. I need it to work for some elements to know when to clean themselves up.
