MrMelbertandGitHub 6ab4d7766a The power of love: Obsessed are slightly stronger about their obsession (+ modernization) (#96421)
## About The Pull Request

Notable changes:

- Obsessed get a slight strength buff related to their obsession
- When grabbing any of your targets (your obsession included), your grab
is harder to escape from, and cause (slightly) more stamina damage from
failed escapes

- Obsessed also get a slight strength buff while standing near their
obsession (for at least 20 seconds). This effect is applied instantly if
the obsession is incapacitated.
- The grab strength bonus applies to all mobs, rather than just your
targets
   - You get a 25% reduction to incoming stamina damage 

- Psicodine or Alcohol will prevent Obsession stammering / emote tells,
but also prevents these beneficial effects from activating

- Witnessing the death of your obsession grants you a permanent positive
moodlet (until they are revived)

- Obsessed tells have been reworked a bit, being less obvious in general
and having their chance to trigger reduced the longer you stand around
your obsession (resetting after leaving their view)

- Obsessed stammer was also reworked a bit, now being closet to Social
Anxiety's stammer, also reducing in severity the longer you stand around
your obsession (resetting after leaving their view)

- Obsessed antag status is now lost when transferring out of the
affected brain and gained when transferring into the affected brain,
making it play nicer with slime clones or mindswap

Other changes:

- Modernized a bunch of obsession code
- Replaced hardcoded checks for grab resistance with a signal

## Why It's Good For The Game

I wanted to give Obsession just a *little* something to help enable
them. I figure grab strength and pain resistance is a pretty fitting /
flavorful place to start.

The grab strength is intended to give them more ability to detain their
targets (by means of wrestling). Even a passive grab isn't a guaranteed
escape.
The stamina damage resistance is intended to give them a slight chance
to resist being detained by security. Not a significant one, just a
slight one.
