Adds a large ash and large molten item decal (for future use)
simplifies decal/cleanable/replace_decal() code a bit.
Changes construction() proc to on_construction() for consistency, same for deconstruction().
Made a deconstruct() proc for machinery and computer (also for future use).

rscadd: Once the blob alert message is sent in the blob game mode, all mobs get to see how many tiles the blob has until it wins, via the Status tab.
rscdel: Removed/merged a bunch of blob chems, you probably don't care about the specifics.
tweak: The remaining blob chems should, overall, be more powerful.
tweak: Shield blobs soak brute damage less well.
tweak: Flashbangs do higher damage to blobs up close, but their damage falls off faster.
experiment: Shield blobs now cost 15 resources to make instead of 10. Node blobs now cost 50 resources to make instead of 60.
experiment: Expanding/attacking now costs 4 resources instead of 5, and blobs can now ATTACK DIAGONALLY. Diagonal attacks are weaker than normal attacks, especially against cyborgs(which may be entirely immune, depending), and they remain unable to expand diagonally.
rscadd: Shield blobs no longer block atmos while under half health. Shield blobs are still immune to fire, even if they can't block atmos.
tweak: Blobs should block explosions less well.
rscadd: Blob cores and nodes are no longer immune to fire and no longer block atmos.
rscadd: Blobs can only auto-expand one tile at a time per expanding thing, and should be easier to beat back in general.
tweak: Blobbernauts now attack faster.
tweak: Blob Overminds attack mobs slower but can attack non-mobs much faster.
rscadd: Blob Overminds start with some amount of resources; in the gamemode, it's 80 divided by the number of overminds, in the event, it's 20 plus the number of active players, and otherwise, it's 60.
bugfix: You can no longer move blob cores into space, onto the mining shuttle, white ship, gulag shuttle, or solars.
bugfix: Blob rounds might be less laggy, if they were laggy?
tweak: Blobs don't heal as fast, excluding the core.
experiment: Blobs are marginally less destructive to their environment.

Objective:
maybe possibly make blob something you can fight instead of wishing the blob didn't exist?
but also make the blob lethal enough that it can still deal with the crew if it knows what it's doing(and still lose if the crew is good instead of snowballing forever)
* You can now analyze blobs to check material effects, damage resistance, and health.

These are the files with just tiny tweaks. Mostly modify an object's attackby so it does "return ..()" instead of "..()".
If there are other things in this commit, the PR's description will explain them.
Strong blobs are now much more resistant to brute damage. Don't even bother hitting them with a wrench.
Tweaks blob reagents;
Removes Ripping Tendrils and Draining Spikes
Sporing Pods now does much less damage, and is less likely to produce spores when killed
Replicating Foam now takes increased brute damage and when expanding from damage, will not expand again
Energized Fibers no longer heals when hit with stamina damage, and is instead immune to the tesla
Boiling Oil takes damage from extinguisher blasts. Its blobbernauts, however, do not
Flammable Goo takes 50% increased burn damage
Regenerative Materia, Hallucinogenic Nectar, and Envenomed Filaments each do less toxin damage
Poisonous Strands applies its damage over a longer period of time
Explosive Lattice now takes much higher damage from fire, flashbangs, and the tesla
Reactive Gelatin now has a lower minimum damage
Electromagnetic Web takes full brute damage, lasers will now one-hit normal blobs, and the death EMP is smaller
Cryogenic Liquid does less burn damage
Pressurized Slime does less brute damage
Draining Spikes, which is reddish pink, does medium brute damage, and drains blood from targets.
Shifting Materia, which is tan, does medium brute damage, and shifts position when attacked.
Flammable Goo, which is reddish orange, does low burn and toxin damage, and when hit with burn damage, emits a burst of flame. It takes more damage from burn, though.
Poisonous Strands, which is lavender and does burn, fire, and toxin damage over a few seconds, instead of instantly.
Bluespace Dust, which is bright green, does low toxin damage, irradiates, and may teleport targets.
Other changes;
Replicating Foam has a lower chance to expand when hit
Penetrating Spines is now purple instead of sea green.
Blob mobs now heal for 2.5% of their maxhealth when blob_act()ed, basically whenever they're on the blob
Blob expansion no longer has a chance to fail inversely proportional with the expanding blob's health.
Blobbernauts have slight color differences.
Blob spores now produce a slightly larger cloud of smoke when dying. Fragile spores and blob zombies produce the current, smaller cloud.
Replicating Foam will try to expand when damaged much more often.
Adds Electromagnetic Web, which does burn damage and EMPs targets, as well as causing a small EMP when dying, but takes more damage; a normal blob that hasn't been near a node or the core for 6~ seconds can be oneshotted by a laser.
Replicating Foam, which is brown, does brute damage, has bonus expansion, and has a chance to expand when damaged.
Sporing Pods, which is light orange, does low toxin damage, and has a chance to produce weak spores when expanding or killed.
Synchronous Mesh, which is teal, does either brute or burn damage, and does bonus damage for each blob tile near the target.
Nerfs the shit out of lexorin jelly's oxygen damage(two-hit crit, holy shit)
Blobbernaut chem attack is baaaaaack, but less absolutely insane this time; blobbernauts with an overmind will do 70% of the normal chem damage(plus 4) and attack at a much slower rate than the blob itself can. (So a blobbernaut with the ripping tendrils overmind would do 15 brute and 10 stamina damage)
Full list of blobbernaut hits to kill/stun, assuming no attempts to escape, armor, or bio protection;
Ripping Tendrils; 7, stun at 5
Reactive Gelatin; 5 to 10, Average of 7(not 7.5)
Energized Fibers; 10, stun at 5
Boiling Oil; 6
Sorium; 7, assuming no nearby objects
Envenomed Filaments; 7, stun at 5
Lexorin Jelly(after nerf), 4
Cryogenic Liquid; 9, stun at 7
Dark Matter; 7, assuming no nearby objects
Hallucinogenic Nectar; 8
Pressurized Slime; 7, stun at 5
SLIP BLOB, DAMAGE IT AND IT SLIPS YOU
ENERGIZED BLOB, IT DOES STAMINA DAMAGE AND STUNS YOU EVENTUALLY ALSO DISABLERS HEAL IT
DRUG BLOB, IT MAKES YOUR INTERFACE TERRIBLE AND DOES TOXIN DAMAGE
REACTIVE BLOB, HIT IT WITH BRUTE DAMAGE GET HIT BACK
any blob can block atmos, the core and nodes now do so
blobs use two different procs for checking health and updating icons instead of one(there's probably a use for this)
the split consciousness verb now requires a node under your selector, instead of checking a global list of nodes and picking the newest(why?)
blobs can no longer take non-brute and burn damage types(I would make toxin do bonus damage but the crew can't apply it anyway)
Stuff fixed: My sad attempt at fixing #13126.
The expand() proc for blobs is hopefully less intensive now (WHY did it
used to spawn a blob only to destroy it? That must've been such a
waste...).
Destroy code no longer needs to adjust for the expand() proc doing weird
things.
The antag panel will now show the correct variable used to determine
blob progress.
Renamed the variables I used so they're not so similar to each other.
blob_legit and blobs_legit was WAY to easy to mix up.
