aKromatopzia a544355b7a Cybernetic brain update + Some Vox touchups (#5088)
## About The Pull Request
Cybernetic/Cortical brain touch-up. Discuss.

Also because vox use cortical brains, we touched their code a little.
Tangent: I wish there was a way to make the brain restore surgery
capable of taking a multitool without being a separate op :\

# But why?
It's been noticed that people are using cortical brains to shoot up some
meth without consequences. This was a) not originally intended b)
genuine power creep, as previously the only way to be able to process
chems without the brain damage was to be a vox, who do start with
robotic-only brains. So, this PR is to address it. Sure you get an EMP
weakness, but this server has a soft-stigmatization against using EMPs
so that's leery on the social contract.

Fret not! You'll still have the option of a roundstart brain which
doesn't take meth damage. It just also takes slightly more EMP damage,
has less health than an ordinary brain, and if it ever gets removed, it
explodes as the other prosthetics do (but doesn't qdel). So really,
there's not much of a consequence.

## Changelog
🆑
add: Previously-unobtainable surplus-cybernetic brain added to
Prosthetic Organ quirk
add: Cybernetic brains given the ORGAN_PROMINENT trait, following normal
brains.
add: Vox Primalis unique cybernetic brain has been finally added to
their species descriptions. (Bet you didn't know they had one)
balance: (Roundstart) Cortical brains given ORGAN_ORGANIC, so they can
be fixed with both mannitol and a multitool. Vox brains are excluded
balance: Brain options in character prefs have been given a 1
quirkiness-point cost.
fix: Cybernetic/Cortical brains have their repair hints updated to
reflect what they can actually be repaired by
code: Prosthetic Organ quirk moved to modular_zubbers
code: 'Vox Primalis' now considered a collective noun
code: dangerous_organ_removal has a new variable to toggle between organ
qdel or having its damage set to max health.
