* Removes like 50% of the cost of using the ui, it turns out that the storage component is fucking moronic. Likely significantly reduces the overtime of typecacheof
* Reduces the cost of reloading the dummy by ~50%
Turns out just initializing and deleting organs was like half the cost of reloading a default dummy.
It occured to me (Mothblocks) that we don't actually care about any organs we can't see or that don't effect visuals. So almost all of our organ loading can just be skipped.
This saves a significant chunk of cpu time, items next!

Exactly what it says in the title. Implanters used to drop the BCI they contained when opened up. Now they don't. For good measure I made them drop their contained BCIs when deconstructed as well in case they already did that as a consequence of the BCI being located inside the implanter, which was the cause of the issue in the first place.
## About The Pull Request
stop forgetting to include mapload, if you don't include it then every single subtype past it by default doesn't include it
for example, `obj/item` didn't include mapload so every single item by default didn't fill in mapload
## Regex used:
procs without args, not even regex
`/Initialize()`
procs with args
`\/Initialize\((?!mapload)((.)*\w)?`
cleanup of things i didn't want to mapload:
`\/datum\/(.)*\/Initialize\(mapload`

Examining a mob with a BCI inside them will now give you the ability to look at it. Helpful for admins, but also keeps in line with every other circuit shell.
BCIs are a new shell that can be implanted in your brain through surgery or through a BCI Manipulation Chamber, which provide the ability to easily implant and remove BCIs. They are the same size as compact remotes and generally share the same limitations.
Also adds CIRCUIT_FLAG_HIDDEN, to hide components from the UI. I didn't end up needing this, but Watermelon said he had ideas for it, so eh.
Why It's Good For The Game
BCIs provide an interesting, stealthy input method for circuits. They are seen as a healthier alternative to nanites, and improve on them in several ways:
Circuits have limited manipulation of the world, and intentionally do not perform the ability to provide passive healing, revives, etc.
Circuits have a significantly better UI and UX than nanites.
Circuits regularly get content expansions, which means that as a side-effect, there'll often be new things to play with for BCIs.
Other point to make:
BCI implanters have no cloud, and instead require the BCI to be put inside the machine. This means it requires the attention of the scientist (or even just a box with them inside). With
Adds the ability to save/load circuits for admins. Adds the ability to duplicate modules in a round. #60222, which lets you reprint a circuit you made that round, this means you can print out lots of BCIs, rather than going through the tedium of constantly remaking it.
BCI implanters are not roundstart, but rather in the advanced shells node. This is essentially the same as nanites, except for the difference of nanites starting with all the machinery, but none of the powers.
