About The Pull Request
Simply converts all instances of soundkeys that use get_sfx from strings into defines.
E.g. "sparks" is now SFX_SPARKS
Why It's Good For The Game
It makes life a lot easier when you're looking for a sound effect. You just type SFX_ and you get suggestions in VSC. Plus, it looks better.

About The Pull Request
Closes#62528Closes#64229#60805 added \improper to a number of area names. This broke cameras for these areas, as apparently tgui does not respect \improper. This wraps the improper area name in a format string before it is assigned to the c_tag.
In this PR three mappers write one line of code. Thanks to @Sealed101 for doing the legwork.
Why It's Good For The Game
Security players will appreciate having their cameras back.

What does the PR do
This reworks how our rendering is handled, specifically moves away from plane masters as the end solution:
Instead we replace plane masters rendering directly to client with planes that render multiple planes onto them as objects in order to be able to affect multiple planes while treating them as a single object. This is done by relaying the plane using a "render relay" onto a "render plate" which acts as a plane master of plane masters of sorts, and since planes are rendered onto it as single objects any filters we apply to them will render over the planes, treating them as a single unit

Also cleaned up unused plane masters and render targets to reduce clutter, as well as removing a useless filter that was resulting from confusion due to said clutter.
Clientside performance testing showed no significant change, no effect on serverside performance as this is clientside.
Also added the blackness plane master so it can be relayed, side effect is that it can now be used to adjust how blackness is rendered
P2 should introduce rendering one plane to multiple render_plates, but i want to get this done before I finish that, though testing shows its feasible
Why It's Good For The Game
Allows more advanced effects.
As an example i made a grav anomaly effect in like 30 seconds for this video i will improve it once im awake properly:

So I started with fixing some timing stuff in #61540, decided to look into foam harddels since I've known about them for a while, got bored, tried to figure out the plane master failures I've seen, and well uh, did.
I'm sure there'll be more, but for now:
Fixes foam darts sticking around post qdel due to dumb guncode, adds a stack trace to handle it.
Makes map popups actually clear the screen they're effecting of their objects, preventing plane master harddels, most commonly sourced from admin pod memes. Not clearing from the screen WAS SOMEHOW AN INTENDED FEATURE!?!@ because "clients log out often anyway and that clears screen so it's fine" I am having a meltdown
Changes examine timers from a ref + signal to a ref(), the timer's 1 second, it's not gonna cause any collisions for the love of christ
Revamp of the software downloader program for modular computers.
Changes:
- Programs are now sorted alphabetically with incompatible ones in the end of the list.
- Installed programs are now displayed in the list.
- Added program icons.
- Moved the error messages in place of the download button.
- Only the most important error message is displayed now. Priority: compatibility, access, free space.
- Syndicate programs are now displayed in the same list, but have a warning message from NT (There are no warning messages on syndicate OS).
- Added program categories to improve navigation. The default option "All" contains items from all categories.
- Download progress bar moved in place of the Disk usage bar. Disk usage is updated only after the download is complete, so the information was inaccurate during download. And the download bar now always visible regardless of selected category.
- The old download progress bar (next to the corresponding program) is replaced with "Downloading" indicator with a spinner.

New app for viewing cameras. Runs the same way the stand-alone console does, and requires security access to download. Does not work on tablets, requires a laptop or console.
Gives sec an on-the-go option, at the expense that they do still have to hold the device to view it (rather than stuffing it into the ID slot). Folded laptops can still be stored in your bag, so you can quickly store it after scoping out a bust.
