71a25960db [MIRROR] Basic mobs won't shoot walls / Basic mobs won't leave permanent bullet casings [MDB IGNORE] (#18719)
* Basic mobs won't shoot walls / Basic mobs won't leave permanent bullet casings (#72494)

## About The Pull Request

Basic mobs using the generic ranged attack behaviour will now not
attempt to shoot a target which they can no longer see.
If they can still see you through a window that's fine because shooting
in your direction will probably break the window eventually, but a mob
knowing you're on the other side of a wall and pointlessly firing at it
isn't useful.

Additionally, adds a component to bullet casings fired by basic mobs
which deletes them after 30 seconds.

Here's a demonstration but sped up so they vanish after 5 seconds
instead.

## Why It's Good For The Game

We're not actually sure that's where these 75,000 bullet casings came
from (it's probably related to that pAI down there) but it's one way it
could happen.

Players with limited ammo leaving persistent bullet casings should
rarely be a problem, mobs have infinite ammo and so should not be able
to generate infinite debris. Having them just sort of disappear after 30
seconds is... less than immersive, but I feel like it's better than the
alternative.
You can attach the element to other things to thanos snap them if you
want.

## Changelog

🆑
fix: Syndicate mobs will no longer attempt to shoot you through walls,
building up massive piles of empty bullet casings in the process.
qol: Bullet casings from "weapons" fired by certain mobs will clean
themselves up after 30 seconds.

80d124a3c6 [MIRROR] Remove ELEMENT_DETACH on everything that doesn't need it, rename to ELEMENT_DETACH_ON_HOST_DESTROY + a PSA (about 0.2s init time savings) [MDB IGNORE] (#17384)
* Remove ELEMENT_DETACH on everything that doesn't need it, rename to ELEMENT_DETACH_ON_HOST_DESTROY + a PSA (about 0.2s init time savings) (#70972)

ELEMENT_DETACH is **not** a requirement to having `Detach` called.
Detach is always called when the element itself is destroyed.

ELEMENT_DETACH is a flag that when set, makes sure Detach is called when
the atom destroys.

Sometimes you want this, for instance:

```dm
/datum/element/point_of_interest/Detach(datum/target)
	SSpoints_of_interest.on_poi_element_removed(target)
	return ..()
```

This Detach cleans up a reference that would have hung if target was
destroyed without this being called.

However, most uses of Detach are cleaning up signals. Signals are
automatically cleaned up when something is destroyed. You do not need
ELEMENT_DETACH in this case, and it slows down init. This also includes
somewhat more complex stuff, like removing overlays on the source
object. It's getting deleted anyway, you don't care!

I have removed all uses of ELEMENT_DETACH that seemed superfluous. I
have also renamed it to `ELEMENT_DETACH_ON_HOST_DESTROY` to make its
purpose more clear, as me and a lot of other maintainers misunderstood
what it did,

---

An update to this, ELEMENT_DETACH *is* needed for anything that can
register to a turf, as turfs do not clear their signals on destroy.

* Remove ELEMENT_DETACH on everything that doesn't need it, rename to ELEMENT_DETACH_ON_HOST_DESTROY + a PSA (about 0.2s init time savings)

* skyrat elements
