Jacquerel b159edcc2f Anomaly gear: Polymorphic Field Inverter (#77383)
## About The Pull Request

Adds a new device you can research called the "Polymorphic Field Inverter".
It requires Advanced Biotechnology and Anomalous Research to unlock.

Completing that research lets you print out a fancy belt. Using it for 5
seconds on a mob (dead or alive) which is organic in nature and isn't
some kind of human or megafauna (monkeys are fine) will store a copy of
its DNA. Scanning another creature will replace the original stored DNA.
Storing DNA does absolutely nothing unless you have also inserted an
active Bioscrambler core.

If the item is activated with a Bioscrambler core then equipping it
grants you the ability to transform into the same kind of creature as
the one you scanned (and back). As in spells such as Wildshape you share
health with your transformed form and if you die while transformed then
you die, so be careful when turning into something like a cockroach
which has one hit point.

It has an associated experiment which makes the research free, which is
to scan two humans with (non-prosthetic) organs that they didn't have
when the round started. You can accomplish this through surgery, DNA
infusion, or a bioscrambler anomaly. You can do it on some monkeys if
nobody is cooperating with you.
I copied a teeny bit of this code from #73969 although I didn't actually
end up needing most of it.

These are absolutely codersprites so if anyone wanted to make cooler
ones, let me know.
