* Removes overlay queuing, saves 6/7 seconds of initialize. Lightly modifies stat tracking macros
So we have this overlay queuing system right? It's build with the assumption
that the "add to overlay list" operation is real expensive, and is
thus useful to queue removals or additions.
It turns out that it just isn't, at least during init. In my testing the
operation of queuing took LONGER then the actual overlay add/remove did.
That's ignoring the cost of the subsystem's work.
I've also modified part of the stat tracking macro, since it took a good
bit of cpu time, and didn't seem to well, do anything. So far as I can
tell it always evaluates to 1

Also, fixes the inventory's color, so it's properly red when you can't equip such an item, by making it also use mob_can_equip.
Finally, expands the species clothing unit test to take that into account, to prevent it breaking in the future.

Most of this is making existing operations do more legwork, or cheaper.

I think it was worth it.
About The Pull Request
Avoids stringifying key unless its necessary. This was done redundantly twice, but I locked it to just the isnum path, as REF will always return a string, and the other path passes istext.
Use sortTim directly instead of sort_list. sort_list is just sortTim but it copies the list, so it's just wasted cost.
I still would like the bespoke element key option, as that's the only way to drastically cut down costs on things like item descriptions and decals, but this is good for the general use case, and makes it marginally less pressing.
I also want to test if we'd be better off inserting into the list in sorted order rather than sorting it all in the end, but I suspect not.
About The Pull Request
Closets now initialize their contents once in dump_contents(). This saves more than 1.6 seconds of init time (all /obj/structure/closet now initialize in 84ms).
Not sure what assumptions this will break, there's a lot of closets, so separate PR.

About The Pull Request
Deletes /obj/shapeshift_holder, replaces it with /datum/status_effect/shapechange_mob
Refactors Heretic worm form into a shapeshift spell
Refactors Wabbajack, and associated code
Fixes#69117Fixes#65653Fixes#59127Fixes#52786
Why It's Good For The Game
/obj/shapeshift_holder was one of the worst remaining abuses of /obj direct subtypes, so I replaced it with a cool fancy datum.
This also decouples the shapeshifting behavior entirely from the shapeshifting spell. So we have support for shapeshifted mobs not sourced from a spell. Which is neat, we could technically swap Wabbajack to use this in the future.
Changelog
cl Melbert
fix: Wabbajacking a shapeshifted mob no longer runtimes horribly. When a shapeshifted mob is wabbajacked, they'll now be removed from their shapeshift and stunned.
fix: Transforming via a shapeshift should no longer rob you of your hearing / runechat awareness.
fix: Shapeshifting plays nicer with holoparasites.
fix: Being polymorphed from a xeno to a non-xeno correctly makes you a non-xeno
refactor: Refactored shapeshifting, the shapeshift holder is now a status effect instead of an object.
refactor: Heretic worm form is a shapeshift spell now, this might have some minor behavioral changes but should overall be the same.
refactor: Refactored Wabbajack (+ cursed pool). Overall a bit more clean / consistent behavior.

* Unit tests range suck
Ok so we currently rely on some undefined behavior in energy_ball code
Namely, the range() family will return turfs in least/greatest get_dist
This is VERY useful for optimizing the tesla, but it's also undefined,

So let's at least unit test it so if it breaks we can remove it
About The Pull Request
Fixes#69483#69432 broke reagent transfer.
image
As we can see above, we've gone from removing reagents 100% of the time, to removing reagents only when methods is truthy and thus they get added to r_to_send. methods is not always truthy. Infact, more often than not it's NULL.
As a result, common reagent transfer methods just broke, duplicating reagents.
Sometimes this has interesting consequences, like in reagent reactions: https://tgstation13.org/parsed-logs/terry/data/logs/2022/08/26/round-189263/game.txt

This is what my search bar looked like highlighting the 1000+ explosions.
image
This adds a unit test to make sure reagent transfer actually works, then fixes the bug by caching reagents to be removed and removing them in a batch later on.
Why It's Good For The Game
Infinitely looping explosions tend to be loud and obnoxious. This kills the player. This also kills the server.
Unit tests are cool because my test is an absolute unit and I'm in awe at the size of that lad.

whoops turns out most verbs havent been queued since may 11th because I made /datum/controller/subsystem/verb_manager have the SS_NO_INIT flag, without also removing a check in verb_manager/proc/can_queue_verb() that stops the verb callback from being queued if the subsystem isnt initialized yet. since subsystems with SS_NO_INIT obviously never have initialized set to TRUE, this always failed for every verb manager subsystem except for SSinput (because it doesnt have SS_NO_INIT).
also adds a debug var to force a subsystem to always queue incoming verbs if possible.
now the default verb management subsystem, and speech_controller will successfully queue verbs again. SSinput always queued verbs so that shouldnt change.

My bad, I forgot this used. It was suggested to use an #IFNDEF UNIT_TESTS, but the sole purpose of this is to fail very, very loudly in any context. I don't want linters to somehow fail and have this be ignored by unit tests such that it doesn't show up during that part of CI. I want it to fail and yell at you and scream every time this motherfucker initializes, so let's not bug this fella for the purposes of this test.

* Refactors mothweek check
Mothweek HAS SIDE EFFECTS
Checking it on a day that causes a week offset will currently cause that
week offset to persist
That's dumb.
Also it's not very expansive, only covers a slim set of possibilities.
Instead, lets build something to generate all passing days over a period
of time, maybe 3 months out of 2 years.
Then we'll crosscheck that against some predecided "ok" dates
If either list disagrees with each other, we'll fail. That way we can't
miss an edgecase. or have issues with side effects
I like this pattern.
Currently, storage works as a subtype of /datum/component, utilizing GetComponent() and signals to operate. While this is a pretty good idea in theory, the execution was pretty trash, and we end up with alot of GetComponent() snowflake code (something that shouldn't even need to be used frankly), and a heaping load of scattered procs that lead into one another, and procs that don't get utilized properly.
Instead, this PR adds atom_storage and proc/create_storage(. . .) to every atom, allowing for the possibility of storage on quite frankly anything. Not only does this entirely remove the need for signals, but it heavily squashes down the number of needed procs in total (removing snowflake signal procs that just lead to one another), reducing overall proc overhead and improving performance.

About The Pull Request
fixes#66887
done for the code bounty posted by @MMMiracles to optimize the tram so that it can be sped up. the tram is now twice as fast, firing every tick instead of every 2 ticks. and is now around 10x cheaper to move. also adds support for multiz trams, as in trams that span multiple z levels.
the tram on master takes around 10-15 milliseconds per movement with nothing on it other than its starting contents. why is this? because the tram is the canary in the coal mines when it comes to movement code, which is normally expensive as fuck. the tram does way more work than it needs to, and even finds new ways to slow the game down. I'll walk you through a few of the dumber things the tram currently does and how i fixed them.
the tram, at absolute minimum, has to move 55 separate industrial_lift platforms once per movement. this means that the tram has to unregister its entered/exited signals 55 times when "the tram" as a singular object is only entering 5 new turfs and exiting 5 old turfs every movement, this means that each of the 55 platforms calculates their own destination turfs and checks their contents every movement. The biggest single optimization in this pr was that I made the tram into a single 5x11 multitile object and made it only do entering/exiting checks on the 5 new and 5 old turfs in each movement.
way too many of the default tram contents are expensive to move for something that has to move a lot. fun fact, did you know that the walls on the tram have opacity? do you know what opacity does for movables? it makes them recalculate static lighting every time they move. did you know that the tram, this entire time, was taking JUST as much time spamming SSlighting updates as it was spending time in SStramprocess? well it is! now it doesnt do that, the walls are transparent. also, every window and every grille on the tram had the atmos_sensitive element applied to them which then added connect_loc to them, causing them to update signals every movement. that is also dumb and i got rid of that with snowflake overrides. Now we must take care to not add things that sneakily register to Moved() or the moved signal to the roundstart tram, because that is dumb, and the relative utility of simulating objects that should normally shatter due to heat and conduct heat from the atmosphere is far less than the cost of moving them, for this one object.
all tram contents physically Entered() and Exited() their destination and old turfs every movement, even though because they are on a tram they literally do not interact with the turf, the tram does. also, any objects that use connect_loc or connect_loc behalf that are on the same point on the tram also interact with each other because of this. now all contents of the tram act as if theyre being abstract_move()'d to their destination so that (almost) nothing thats in the destination turf or the exit turf can react to the event of "something laying on the tram is moving over you". the rare things that DO need to know what is physically entering or exiting their turf regardless of whether theyre interacting with the ground can register to the abstract entered and exited signals which are now always sent.
many of the things hooked into Moved(), whether it be overrides of Moved() itself, or handlers for the moved signal, add up to a LOT of processing time. especially for humans. now ive gotten rid of a lot of it, mostly for the tram but also for normal movement. i made footsteps (a significant portion of human movement cost) not do any work if the human themselves didnt do the movement. i optimized has_gravity() a fair amount, and then realized that since everything on the tram isnt changing momentum, i didnt actually need to check gravity for the purposes of drifting (newtonian_move() was taking a significant portion of the cost of movement at some points along the development process). so now it simply doesnt call newtonian_move() for movements that dont represent a change in momentum (by default all movements do).
also i put effort into 1. better organizing tram/lift code so that most of it is inside of a dedicated modules folder instead of scattered around 5 generic folders and 2. moved a lot of behavior from lift platforms themselves into their lift_master_datum since ideally the platforms would just handle moving themselves, while any behavior involving the entire lift such as "move to destination" and "blow up" would be handled by the lift_master_datum.

multiz tram (this just adds the capability to map it like this, no tram does this)
Actual Performance Differences
to benchmark this, i added a world.Profile(PROFILER_START) and world.Profile(PROFILER_START) to the tram moving, so that it generates a profiler output of all tram movement without any unrelated procs being recorded (except for world.Profile() overhead). this made it a lot easier to quantify what was slowing down both the tram and movement in general. and i did 3 types of tests on both master and my branch.
also i should note that i sped up the "master" tram test to move once per tick as well, simply because the normal movement speed seems unbearably slow now. so all recorded videos are done at twice the speed of the real tram on master. this doesnt affect the main thing i was trying to measure: cost for each movement.
the first test was the base tram, containing only my player mob and the movables starting on the tram roundstart. on master, this takes around 13 milliseconds or so on my computer (which is pretty close to what it takes on the servers), on this branch, it takes between 0.9-1.3 milliseconds.
ALSO in these benchmarks youll see that tram/proc/travel() will vary significantly between the master and optimized branches. this is 100% because there are 55 times more platforms moving on master compared to the master branch, and thus 55x more calls to this proc. every test was recorded with the exact same amount of distance moved
here are the master and optimized benchmark text files:

also this shows the increased SSlighting usage resulting from the tram on master spamming updates, which doesnt happen on the optimized branch

the second test is meant to benchmark the best case scaling cost of moving objects, where nothing extra is registered to movement besides the bare minimum stuff on the /atom/movable level. Each of the open tiles of the tram had 1 bluespace rped filled with parts dumped onto it, to the point that the tram in total was moving 2100 objects. the vast majority of these objects did nothing special in movement so they serve as a good base case. only slightly off due to the rped's registering to movement.

optimization 2000 obj's.txt
the third test is 300 humans spawned onto the tram, meant to test all the shit added on to movement cost for humans/carbons. in retrospect this test is actually way too biased in favor of my optimizations since the humans are all in only 3 tiles, so all 100 humans on a tile are reacting to the other 99 humans movements, which wouldnt be as bad if they were distributed across 20 tiles like in the second test. so dont read into this one too hard.
on master, this test takes 200 milliseconds

when optimized, this takes about 13-14 milliseconds.

Why It's Good For The Game
the tram is literally 10x cheaper to move. and the code is better organized.
currently on master the tram is as fast as running speed, meaning it has no real relative utility compared to just running the tracks (except for the added safety of not having to risk being ran over by the tram). now the tram of which we have an entire map based around can be used to its full potential.
also, has some fixes to things on the tram reacting to movement. for example on master if you are standing on a tram tile that contains a banana and the TRAM moves, you will slip if the banana was in that spot before you (not if you were there first however). this is because the banana has no concept of relative movement, you and it are in the same reference frame but the banana, which failed highschool physics, believes you to have moved onto it and thus subjected you to the humiliation of an unjust slipping. now since tram contents that dont register to abstract entered/exited cannot know about other tram contents on the same tile during a movement, this cannot happen.
also, you no longer make footstep sounds when the tram moves you over a floor
TODO
mainly opened it now so i can create a stopping point and attend to my other now staling prs, we're at a state of functionality far enough to start testmerging it anyways.
add a better way for admins to be notified of the tram overloading the server if someone purposefully stuffs it with as much shit as they can, and for admins to clear said shit.
automatically slow down the tram if SStramprocess takes over like, 10 milliseconds complete. the tram still cant really check tick and yield without introducing logic holes, so making sure it doesnt take half of the tick every tick is important
go over my code to catch dumb shit i forgot about, there always is for these kinds of refactors because im very messy
remove the area based forced_gravity optimization its not worth figuring out why it doesnt work
fix the inevitable merge conflict with master lol
create an icon for the tram_tunnel area type i made so that objects on the tram dont have to enter and exit areas twice in a cross-station traversal
add an easy way to vv tram lethality for mobs/things being hit by it. its an easy target in another thing i already wanted to do: a reinforced concept of shared variables from any particular tram platform and the entire tram itself. admins should be able to slow down the tram by vv'ing one platform and have it apply to the entire tram for example.

At some point, someone did a find and replace over this file, and completely screwed up the signal for Knockdown().
This caused components that relied on it, like the Knockoff component, to work way less often.
This PR fixes that.
It also goes through and cleans up the Knockoff component. More consistent style guide stuff, minor improvements, better documentation.
It also unit tests it.
