SkyratBot 5ab9aba9d4 [MIRROR] Added circuit component UI details, added multiplexer and allowed inserting components directly into shells. (#6479)
* Added circuit component UI details, added multiplexer and allowed inserting components directly into shells. (#59635)

Adds the multiplexer circuit component - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplexer
Circuit components can now be directly inserted into shells rather than having to take the integrated circuit out.
Special information can be accessed from components now through the "Info" button besides the eject button on a component.

* Added circuit component UI details, added multiplexer and allowed inserting components directly into shells.

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.
