SteamlinedandGitHub e4f2ffa3ca Northstar fixes and improvements (#5721)
## About The Pull Request

Several changes to Northstar based on prior feedback. Full list:

- Fixed chemistry storage access
- Moved firelocks at top of stairs to save people from being Barclay'd
(IYKYK)
- Adds curator access restriction to the weird library door thing
- Replaced medbay gauze with 12-stacks (StrongDMM thought this was
important)
- Modified bar to make access to seating from behind the bar easier
- Extra door leading to locker room to make it easier to enter (no
longer having to go through the garden)
- Expanded ordnance lab and added some data disks
- Added circuit lab to engineering
- Fixed non-working bolt button on the council chamber bathroom
- Brings armory up to par with armories on other stations, adding more
weapons to account for higher population
- Removed waste filter cans in supermatter chamber (the cooling room
already has its own filter cans, so they were superfluous). This
unintentionally optimizes the supermatter setup, though.
- Connected AI satellite to the distro and waste loops, via a pair of
pumps. These can be remotely disabled by any AI that so wishes to do so.
- Replaced most instances of double-doors with two-tile doors instead.
- Replaced cargo bay energy shields with holographic fans, adding blast
doors operable by buttons in case the extra security is needed.
- Add 'bit_den' access to mining dock doors
## Why It's Good For The Game

People like Northstar apparently! So this will make it better. The only
change that isn't an objective upgrade is the cargo shield change.
Though, the blast doors are more robust than the original energy
shields, they do start open (because it looks nicer). May have to be
changed later if it proves too easily abused (though what with almost
all the exterior doors having restricted access, maybe that's a good
change for space-based antags?)

(Note: Ordnance isn't actually this purple in current iteration)
