* Enables 514 testing on master, Removes all reliance on extools outside of maptick (#56724)
* Uses 514's map_cpu var when it's available
* Uses auxtools for the debugger, to supply cross verison compatibility
* Nukes extools reference tracking, reinstates the old ref tracking system
* Enables 514 testing on master, Removes all reliance on extools outside of maptick

* Finishes the allocation refactor (#55965)
#53841 continuation
I recall that the reason for infinite stuns and such was that the priority wasn't being cleared properly when something hitched and I fixed it and I don't remember where exactly but it works now (TM)
A variation of this is TMed on TGMC and it works fine

About The Pull Request
Extools maptick stuff is in the game. Stolen from BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet#1119, improves performance. Requires ex-tools on the server, though.
Explosions have been refactored to do the actual exploding in a subsystem.
Credit to goon.
Here's some videos!
Why It's Good For The Game
Basically instant max-caps now.
We can now give more of a tick over to the sending of map updates

experimental: SDQL2 has been refactored to a datum!
rscadd: A new SDQL2 panel has been added to admin tabs, for tracking, VVing, and halting SDQL2 queries.
rscadd: SDQL2 documentation is now available in SDQL_2.dm
rscadd: SDQL2 now has MAP added. MAP will cause the query to execute on whatever is specified in MAP, whether it's a variable or a procedure call (which will grab the return results), etc etc.
rscadd: SDQL2 now has a superuser mode, for uses outside of admin button pressing. This causes it to operate without admin protection wrapping.
rscadd: SDQL2 now supports options, including ignoring nulls in select or forcing it to operate in high priority mode, which lets it use 95% of the tick instead of obeying the Master Controller's tick limit. USE WITH CAUTION. Also includes a mode for blocking proccalls
rscadd: SDQL2 now supports TRUE/FALSE.
rscadd: To use options, append OPTIONS to the query. Available are "PRIORITY" = HIGH/NORMAL, "SELECT" = FORCE_NULLS/DISABLE or 0/FALSE, "PROCCALL" = ASYNC/BLOCKING.

Also displaytimetext is refactored.
Tick contention is when the mc, sleep()/spawns(), and byond internal processing fight each other for game tick time. Usually in an unproductive way that wastes cpu cycles and reduces the effective amount of game tick to go around.
Tweaked the anti-tick contention heuristics of the MC a touch.
Fixed an incorrect operator in the mc's anti-tick contention heuristics causing it to apply in times of no lag rather then times of lag.
The mc's anti-tick contention heuristics now plays better with the high pop processing mode.
We no longer reserve the tail end of a tick for the mc to have if the mc doesn't plan to run next tick because of high pop mode or anti-tick contention heuristics.
stoplag() can now be given an initial delay allowing it to act like a smarter sleep (in that it sleeps for longer if the server is overwhelmed.
All short sleeps that only existed for performance reason and had no game play, visual/audio, or balance reasons behind their timing were converted to stoplag().
