John Willard 333bef46fe Improves jousting and gives it to more weapons (#76321)
## About The Pull Request

I was reading over components and saw one called jousting, I vividly
remember it being mentioned every so often but I've never seen it
in-game. Turns out the SINGLE case for it is when you are using a spear
on a borg. The code itself was also very over the place, making it a
little confusing to figure out what it did.

I tried cleaning the file up as much as I could, and since I wanted to
see this in-game more often, I made some player-facing changes too:

- You can now joust from any vehicle, not just borgs (Secway, ATV,
scooter, Charger holoparasite)
- Added jousting to the broom, pitchfork, captain's sabre, and energy
sword while active (ONLY esword, NOT desword).
- Added examine text to indicate this feature exists.

Extra notes:
Esword gains half the damage increase and half the knockdown chance than
other ways of jousting
Broom only gets 25% damage increase from jousting, since the broom is
already pretty strong I thought it would be better off as something used
mostly to knockdown.
Spears have to travel a longer distance than other weapons to get their
jousting benefits (since it's supposed to be a ghetto weapon)
Jousting now takes the minimum distance needed into account when
handling knockdown chance & damage dealt, so travelling 5 tiles will no
longer be 100% chance of knockdown if you need a minimum distance of 3
tiles to joust (it will instead be 40%, since you've only traveled 2
tiles in 'jousting' mode).

## Why It's Good For The Game

This is an underused component and I thought it would bring some pretty
cool interactions, especially for Holoparasite & Janitors, as a new way
to use vehicles to your advantage when it's otherwise seen as just a
slowdown.
