Adds a visualizer for lighting object updating. Optimizes the same (#67678)

It occured to me, we didn't have a good way to "see" what turfs were actually being updated
Figured I'd fix that

I've also added some debug vars on SSlighting to make testing with/without some checks easier

Speaking of which, I've added a second check to lighting corner updating
Basically, if our past and current cached rgb values are the same, there's no point updating

This is possible because static lighting is relative. If you've got a
TON of blue, it'll outweight the red and green you have in smaller amounts

We also do some rounding to ensure values look right

Similarly, if you've got roughly the same lighting, and a bit of something you already have a lot of is added, you're not likely to actually enter a new "bracket" of color

Anyway uh, it's hard to profile this, but I've seen it help quite a bit, mostly with things like emergency lighting that updates lighting in small amounts often, and in constricted spaces.

To some extent just comes down to map design
