SkyratBot c121022530 [MIRROR] Tendril Tagging - scanning necropolis tendrils with a mining analyzer updates its GPS tag [MDB IGNORE] (#24169)
* Tendril Tagging - scanning necropolis tendrils with a mining analyzer updates its GPS tag (#78738)

## About The Pull Request
Makes it so that if you wave a mining analyzer over a necropolis tendril
(kinda like a geyser), its GPS tag is updated with a code for what it
spawns and a numerical designation. Unlike geyser scanning, this awards
no points, and is solely for figuring out what tendril spawns what
fauna.

Updated: now on the `structure/spawner` level, allowing it to cover
icemoon spawners.

Updated again: now it has an associated examine thing.

Also removes the redundant `gps` variable because it got
componentalized.
## Why It's Good For The Game

I think being able to know what one of fifteen eerie signals is spawning
without having to memorize which one is spawning which thing at what
coordinate, or just vaguely going "oh so that's where the legion tendril
was today".

## Changelog

🆑
qol: Miners can now tag monster spawners (necropolis tendrils, animal
dens, demonic portals, and netherworld links) by using their mining
scanner on it, which updates their GPS tag (and/or gives them one) to
give it a numerical designation and a short identifier for what it's
spawning.
