SkyratBot 5322e96e69 [MIRROR] Minor Major Space Dust update, Dust Stormfront station trait [MDB IGNORE] (#20736)
* Minor Major Space Dust update, Dust Stormfront station trait (#74901)

## About The Pull Request

This makes three changes regarding the Major Space Dust event.

The first reverts it back to a meteor_wave subtype (rather than a
space_dust subtype), a choice I made in #69866 that feels really stupid
in retrospect.

The second set of changes pertain to the event's numbers. It increases
the weight (8 -> 14) and reduces the earliest_start time (25 MINUTES ->
15 MINUTES). The announce_chance has been reduced (100 -> 85), and there
are a few more announcement messages in the pool.

Lastly, this adds a quick random_event_weight_modifier station trait
that makes the Major Space Dust more common. Let's hope it doesn't
scratch the hull!

This also removes an outdated comment from the revolutionary fervor
station trait, because I was near it.
## Why It's Good For The Game

It's way more sane to handle this event as a meteor_wave. It walks and
talks like a meteor wave, why shouldn't it be one?

Major Space Dust works as a nice fluff event. It's low-impact and might
give engineering something to fix every now and then. It's not
particularly special either, so I don't think it would hurt to make the
event bit more frequent.

New station trait for people (presumably engineering players) to work
around.
## Changelog

add: New event weight station trait -- Dust Stormfront.
balance: Space Weather Forecast -- Expect more frequent Major Space Dust
storms in the foreseeable future.
code: The Major Space Dust event is once again returned to being a
meteor_wave event instead of a Space Dust subtype.
