SkyratBot 59b73c3d65 [MIRROR] Cleans up thermite component code [MDB IGNORE] (#20686)
* Cleans up thermite component code (#74825)

## About The Pull Request

Nothing too interesting to be quite honest, just cleans up the thermite
component code a bit because it was a bit weird.

## Why It's Good For The Game

This probably fixes a few rare bugs where the thermite overlay
disappears due to an update_icon call. Slightly neater code.
Also, adds an examine message to thermite walls because small QoL stuff
is neat.

## Changelog

🆑
qol: Thermited walls now get an examine message telling you they are, in
fact, thermited.

Datum Component System (DCS)

Concept

Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
