SyncIt21 3c908fc280 Some more RCD Designs & Patches (#72757)
## About The Pull Request
Adds some more stuff you can build with the RCD
1. Under structures you can now build/deconstruct catwalks & construct
Reflector Frames. Destorying a catwalk will cut any cable on it leaving
pieces of it behind

2. If you have the frames upgrade you can construct APC, Air Alarm &
Fire Alarm frames on walls & Flood light fixtures[fully wired]. It only
creates the wall mount and sticks it on the wall. Wiring, Circuits and
finishing the frame is still your job

3. If you have the furnishing upgrade you can create racks & beds &
additional bar stool

**Important Code Refractors**
1. `/turf/closed/wall/proc/try_wallmount()` will return true only after
you have successfully mounted the wallframe or stuck an poster on it &
not simply check if you are trying to mount a valid thing on it
2. `apc_tool_act/rcd_act()` was incorrectly checking passed_mode for the
simple circuit upgrade and not the `the_rcd.upgrade `flag. Thats fixed
now to
3. newly created APC's weren't assigning themselves to their areas
allowing multiple to be created in one area. Thats fixed now
4. Walls, Airlocks & other stuff could be built on tiles having
something dense that would block it. For example a wall could be build
on top of a machine frame!!. Thats also fixed now

## Why It's Good For The Game
More stuff you can build rapidly with the RCD

## Changelog
🆑
add: more designs for the rcd
refactor:` try_wallmount()` to return true only after successful mount
fix: `apc_tool_act/rcd_act()` incorrecly checking for simple circuits
upgrade in the wrong variable
fix: newly created APC's not assigning themselves to their areas.
fix: rcd building structures [walls, airlocks etc] on turf's that
already have structures on them

Asset cache system

Framework for managing browser assets (javascript,css,images,etc)

This manages getting the asset to the client without doing unneeded re-sends, as well as utilizing any configured cdns.

There are two frameworks for using this system:

Asset datum:

Make a datum in asset_list_items.dm with your browser assets for your thing.

Checkout asset_list.dm for the helper subclasses

The simple subclass will most likely be of use for most cases.

Call get_asset_datum() with the type of the datum you created to get your asset cache datum

Call .send(client|usr) on that datum to send the asset to the client. Depending on the asset transport this may or may not block.

Call .get_url_mappings() to get an associated list with the urls your assets can be found at.

Manual backend:

See the documentation for /datum/asset_transport for the backend api the asset datums utilize.

The global variable SSassets.transport contains the currently configured transport.

Notes:

Because byond browse() calls use non-blocking queues, if your code uses output() (which bypasses all of these queues) to invoke javascript functions you will need to first have the javascript announce to the server it has loaded before trying to invoke js functions.

To make your code work with any CDNs configured by the server, you must make sure assets are referenced from the url returned by get_url_mappings() or by asset_transport's get_asset_url(). (TGUI also has helpers for this.) If this can not be easily done, you can bypass the cdn using legacy assets, see the simple asset datum for details.

CSS files that use url() can be made to use the CDN without needing to rewrite all url() calls in code by using the namespaced helper datum. See the documentation for /datum/asset/simple/namespaced for details.
