ArcaneMusic bf4cc3e415 Cargo requests for other departments may now request they come out of the department budget. (#93152)
## About The Pull Request

When placing a cargo request as a non-cargo staff, you may now specify
which department you are requesting this for, which if approved will
bill that department from their budget. Requests placed this way will
need to be approved by cargo staff by default.

Originally I was going to tie this to my proposed rolling permission
system (Think an email chain where if things don't get approved, it goes
up a PDA Message chain until someone approves the thing), however I've
quite stalled on that and I wanted to at least get the baseline
functionality into people's hands.

Cargo, as per usual, has a right to refusal to reject the request as
well.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Heads of staff can already order crates using their departmental
ordering apps and utilizing their funds, without needing QM approval.
This will allow for crewmembers within a department to request to
requisition supplies using their budget's funds as well.

As it stands, ordering from budget is already quite clunky, and being
able to go to cargo to place a request for your department should at
least elicit a conversation between heads of staff to see if it makes
sense. Keeping in mind, spending too much of a budget's funds can result
in failure to complete paychecks, so there is some conflict that can
arise from interacting with this mechanic too aggressively.

**I'll be real, there's a pretty good chance this may be too easy to use
and too powerful in it's current state.** If it needs something like the
additional rolling permissions system in place in the future, we may
want to re-assess at a later point.

## Changelog

🆑
qol: When placing cargo requests, you can now request that a crate be
obtained using your department's funds as opposed to the cargo budget.
