* Roundstart Xeno egg deliveries create a Captive Xenomorph team, gives regular xenos a fluff objective so their popup isn't blank. (#73852)

## About The Pull Request

Xenomorphs who are a product of the roundstart xenobio egg delivery will
now spawn as "Captive Xenomorphs", who receive an objective to break
containment. Here's how it works:

When a delivery egg is generated that area will be marked as the
"captivity area". Xenomorphs born within this area now have their own
team, and have their own section in the roundend report that will
greentext them based on if they were able to survive and escape
captivity. Xenomorphs born outside of this area will spawn as normal
Xenomorphs, with no escape objective or special fanfare.

To further encourage people from actually taking the role and
potentially resigning themselves to an hour in Xenobio CBT prison, the
first of the hive gets their own header on the roundend report.

(When I say "team" here, I mean they receive a different antag team
datum. They're still able to collaborate and cooperate with other
Xenomorphs, they just have a different title and extra objective in
addition to the bonus roundend report limelight.)

(This also adds a basic "survive and advance the hive" objective for all
xenomorphs, since their objective popup was otherwise completely blank).

Since the captivity area is entirely dependent on the location of the
egg itself, admins can plop one of these down anywhere, and mappers
don't have to put the egg mapping helper specifically in Xenobio.

For clarification -- To be qualified for the Captive Xenomorph team, **a
delivery egg must be spawned**, and the xeno you inhabit must be born in
the same area the egg was spawned. If the queen breaks captivity and
starts nesting elsewhere on the station, their children will be born as
normal Xenomorphs, not Captive Xenomorphs.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Adds a bit of distinction, and gives bragging rights, to anyone bold
enough to take a roundstart xeno roll and escape with it.

The Xeno egg delivery is already rare enough, I think it deserves a bit
more fanfare (especially considering the dramatic impact it sometimes
has on the direction of a round).

## Changelog
🆑
add: Xenomorphs born in the room the roundstart delivery egg was spawned
in will be part of a special "captive xenomorph" team, tasked with
escaping and tracked in the roundend report.
fix: Regular Xenomorphs no longer receive a blank objectives popup on
spawn.
