pixelkitty286 92ab041247 Research Cyborg and other borg module changes (#5118)
# About The Pull Request
This PR aims to put the some of the feature set I originally intended
research borgs to have and some quality of life things.

It also includes some small changes for some other modules mostly small
things such as removing names already being defined twice and it moves
some mining borg items into the proper mining borg tech web.

Also research borgs now have their own tech web instead of relying off
other techwebs.

### This PR adds these items to research borgs:

- robotics RCD with proper functionality to fix synths. (Upgrade item
only! Does not allow decon or construction!)


### This PR changes a few grippers:

- Research borg circuit gripper now allows full assembly use

- Research borg Illegal gripper now allows upgrades to be preformed on
other cyborgs (Only obtainable via emag or illegal upgrades!)

## Why It's Good For The Game
I made this PR to allow research cyborgs to have more expanded use for
what their intended purpose is which in my eyes is a support role
allowing them to build machines and gadgets that science builds wile
also preforming some basic tasks, and when malfunctioning becoming a
reliable back bone to the silicons or their subversive for repairs or
upgrades with some of these tasks taking longer than robotics preforming
such tasks.

Other cyborg changes were done to clean up and are some small quality of
life changes that I think I was suggested and research borgs get their
own tech web now because they should of had one in the first place but
for some reason I never made it one.

I've been holding off on this PR for a few months and in that time I've
been deciding if it would be worth to finish it or not and the more I
look and see how things are actually used and the state of research
borgs are in it makes me wonder if players who brought up some of the
original features, I intended this borg module to have, were complaining
out of bad faith or were worried bad faith players would exploit this,
and my response is if players are going to use these items intended for
the research department are used for bad faith as borg, what makes one
think they won't just as a non borg.
