SkyratBot 56f02d7e30 [MIRROR] Cardboard cutouts are now tactical. (#26545)
* Cardboard cutouts are now tactical. (#81245)

## About The Pull Request
Basically, this means players holding cardboard cutouts will now assume
their appearance, just like for potted plants. Good for pranking.

I've had to tweak the tactical component and the waddling element a bit
to get them to work as intended while dealing with the multiple sources
of the waddling element.

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.
