0cc5cfb178 Random Name Generation refactor, generate random names based on languages (for species without name lists, like Felinids and Podpeople) (#83021)
## About The Pull Request

This PR moves random name generation for species onto their languages. 

What does this mean? 

- For species with a predefined name list, such as Lizards and Moths,
nothing.

- For species without predefined name lists, such as Felinids, their
names will now be randomly generated from their language's syllables.

(In the prefs menu:)

Why? 

- Well, we actually had some dead code that did this. All I did was fix
it up and re-enable it.
- Generates some pretty believable in-universe names for various
languages that are lacking name lists. Obviously defined lists would be
preferred, but until they are added, at least.
- Moves some stuff off of species, which is always nice. 
- Also hopefully makes it a tad easier to work with name generation.
There's now a standard framework for getting a random name for a mob,
and for getting a random name based on a species.

Misc: 

- Adds a generic `species_prototype` global, uses it in a lot of places
in prefs code.
- Makes `GLOB.species_list` init via the global defines
- Deletes Language SS
- Alphabetizes some instances of admin tooling using the list of all
species IDs
- Docs language stuff
- Deletes random_skin_tone, it does pretty much nothin

## Changelog

🆑 Melbert
refactor: Random Name Generation has been refactored. Report any
instances of people having weird (or "Unknown") names.
qol: Felinids, Slimepeople, Podpeople, and some other species without
defined namelists now automatically generate names based on their
primary language(s).
qol: More non-human names can be generated in codewords (and other misc.
areas) than just lizard names.
