34566c051f (READY FOR MERGE) Adds a new species: Lycans (and cursekin) (#4331)
## About The Pull Request
Adds a new species, lycans. They start as a cursekin, but can transform
between lycan form and cursekin form at will via an action button, with
a three-minute cooldown between swapping forms. **You need to select
ears/tail as a cursekin or your lycan form won't have them. (You can
toggle them off in-game via the show/hide mutant parts verb)** The
secondary mutant color for body color also changes the lycan form body
color.

### Cursekin Form

In cursekin form, you are pretty much comparable to a baseline human,
albeit with far more customization due to opting for mutant colors over
skin tone. At this time, the one notable difference is that your body
will reject any inorganic organs/implants that may be attempted to be
inserted.

### Lycan Form

In lycan form is where you really start to see the differences from a
human, some key differences are:
- You now have built in armor, but, are unable to wear clothes, armour,
or any gear.
- Your punches do damage equivalent to a butcher cleaver (minus AP), but
you cannot use guns.
- You are oversized
- You have night vision and better hearing, but this comes at a cost as
you will take extra damage from flash bangs, on both the eyes and ears
fronts.
- You have chunky fingers and are illiterate.
- You get the hunger increase of vulps.

### To Do:

- [x] Code in all the features outlined by the bounty issuer.

- [x] Polish the code.

- [x] Fix any remaining bugs.

- [x] Have the PR test-merged.

- [x] Fix any new bugs that come up.

- [ ] Full merge.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's a whole new species with mostly unique mechanics not seen by other
species. The transformation aspect is not seen in any other species
unless you count slimes, and the cybernetic rejection is not used by
other species in this exact way to my knowledge. This lets players play
as a species capable of transforming between two species, which makes
for some interesting possibilities.
## Proof Of Testing
Everything seemed to work on my end.
