ee6818f4df Replaces Immunosilence with sepsisillin, nerfs aggressive healing. (#96972)
## About The Pull Request

Attempts to balance aggressive healing by slightly cutting back on its
incredible constant healing (which is still doable because I don't have
the heart to kill virology uses) and removes immunosilence because we
already have a chem that does that. Sepsisillin pills are mapped into
virology to take its place.

## Why It's Good For The Game

With immunodeficiency, an aggressive healing virus with high severity
becomes incredibly powerful. The combination of chills and fever to buff
severity while they cancel each other out along with a second symptom
like nocturnal regen (because you have the stats for it) makes
aggressive healing too powerful in the right situation but too weak for
everyone else.

Aggressive healing was given high stats under the assumption that they
were necessary to resist natural recovery in hosts that aren't
immunodeficient. That was probably a mistake since it also makes it a
buffer symptom stronger than any other, so its stats are heavily tuned
down.

Immunosilence was removed (because it's just sepsisillin) and
sepsisillin pills were mapped into virology in order to let people
without immunodeficiency be able to better benefit from aggressive
healing. Immunosilence was rather ineffective at its job because it
still let viruses regress to their first stage, which disables your
healing. Sepsisillin can also be used for testing viruses on monkeys.
Pills were added to virology because sepsisillin is a pain to make and
you can also use it to test on monkeys. The whole bottle should last one
person 23 minutes and 20 seconds.

Also I removed the no_self_cure trait that is now unused (it was given
by immunosilence) and changed the description of the aggressive healing
severity threshold to clarify that it starts scaling with any amount of
positive severity, not just after the first point.

## Changelog
