necromanceranne 9fb4100405 Mild boxing tweaks (#93963)
## About The Pull Request

Boxing punches no longer halve your damage for using the same mouse
button twice.

Instead, we now have a few different 'combos' based on what mouse and
what hand we use when punching. As in, swapping hands to get different
combos

Left Left/Right Right with matching hand is a straight punch
Left Left/Right Right with the opposite hand is a jab
These moves are just normal punches, though can still apply extra
effects.

Left Right/Right Left and finishing with the matching hand (right for
the former, left for the latter) is the right/left hooks already used.
These do the same as before, but also slow your next attack slightly.

Left Right/Right Left and finishing with the opposite hand (left for the
former, right for the latter) is an uppercut, which has higher knockout
probabilities, but also slows your attack.

Adds some silly extra moves as well. 

Evil Boxing gets Sucker Punch, which is any blow dealt from behind. You
know, because you don't give a shit about being a good person. This can
knock out in one blow (if you're lucky). If the target is grabbed, a
knockout punch will also send them flying backwards. Pretty much only an
evil boxing feature.

Fixes punching mitts talking about rock breaking. Oops.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The damage malus mechanic wasn't super fun to actually do in practice
and messed with people in a way that was hard to understand.

Now, the combos are a little more interactive and there really isn't a
WRONG choice. Just do what seems cool, makes sense to you (left to right
buttons? left to right hand) and it should always work out in your
favour.

I forgot a mild bit of text about rock breaking in the punching mitts.
That's it.

## Changelog
🆑
balance: Boxing combos are now broader and user friendly. Alternating
combinations of buttons AND hands produces different results, but all of
them good. Experiment!
balance: Evil boxing now has a Sucker Punch. Hit someone from behind to
potentially knock them out cold!
fix: Punching mitts no longer mention punching rocks.
