Ghom 6b543476da Aquarium kits can now be printed + other tweaks. (#88068)
## About The Pull Request
Aquarium kits can now be printed from service, cargo, science
protolathes and the autolathe too, from half a sheet of metal. You still
need the other materials to set it up but it should be fairy simple if
you can access a proto/autolathe.

The 'Growth/Reproduction' setting for aquariums has been renamed to
"Safe Mode", which, on top of disabling features such as growth,
reproduction, evolution, power generation etc etc, will also disable the
water, temperature and food requirements for keeping the fish alive.
Useful if you want a purely ornamental aquarium or you have to skidaddle
somewhere else for a while.
The lawyer, as well as prefilled aquariums start with 'Safe Mode'
enabled.

The 'Aggressive' fish trait has been replaced with 'Territorial', which
is exactly the same but the fish won't lash out unless the aquarium is
populated by five fishes or more. No more angelfish viciously attacking
the guppy and goldfish in prefilled aquariums.

Tweaked a couple values around hunger and fish health loss when starving
or in a bad environment to cause slightly less damage.

Lastly, added screentips to the aquarium component, which is something
I've forgot to do in the PR that brought it.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Aquariums may be a complex feature, but as far as I can tell, I had been
neglecting the possibility of aquariums as simple room decoration for a
while (outside of the beauty-related mechanics), and the constant
maintenance (and perhaps a bit of knowhow) they require makes them awful
at that. Also, the "growth/reproduction" setting really didn't have a
reason to be before, since it didn't offer any tangible benifit to turn
it off, so I had to revamped it.
Also it's been proven by now that keeping aquariums as cargo-orderable
stuff is just bad.

As for the fish trait change, it just sucks to see the angelfish shank
the goldfish with no way to solve it other than removing the
hyper-aggressive killer fish from san diego fella.
