The bug #61469 (940d9aa99d) was trying to fix is mostly successful, except in rare cases of a lot of people opening preferences pre-timer SS init, where addtimer is delayed. This changes it to spawn, which is good to run pre-init, though in small amounts. If this doesn't work, then I'm going to make a savefile pass through every proc as an argument, but it's a very tedious and frustrating change to do, and I only really want to do it if necessary.
About The Pull Request
Rewrites the entire preferences menu in tgui. Rewrites the entire backend to be built upon datumized preferences, rather than constant additions to the preferences base datum.
Splits game preferences into its own window.
Antagonists are now split into their individual rulesets. You can now be a roundstart heretic without signing up for latejoin heretic, as an example.
This iteration matches parity, and provides very little new functionality, but adding anything new will be much easier.

Major TODOs
Quirk icons, from @Fikou (with some slight adjustments from me)
Lore text, from @EOBGames (4/6, need moths and then ethereal lore from @AMonkeyThatCodes)
Heavy documentation on how one would add new preferences, species, jobs, etc
A lot of specialized testing so that people's real data don't get corrupted
