SkyratBot 816d0f969a [MIRROR] Flightpotion/health analyzer balance tweak [MDB IGNORE] (#24856)
* Flightpotion/health analyzer balance tweak (#79396)

## About The Pull Request

I was asked by a maintainer to split this off from my other PR (#79360),
so here it is. Basically, health analyzers are hard-coded to list you as
a mutant if you have wings from a flightpotion. This only applies to
flightpotion wings; no other organ, internal or external, not even moth
wings, work in the same way. So this PR just removes that check for
consistency.

I'd also like to note that I'm not opposed to the flightpotion being
made to _actually_ change your species again, as long as someone else
does the work. In fact, if someone were to do that this change would
still make just as much if not more sense.
## Why It's Good For The Game

As far as I can tell, there is no reason for this check to exist. At one
point, the flight potion did actually change your species, and it seems
like this check is just an old, unneeded relic of that. I'm not aware
for any balance reason for this check, unlike the hulk mutation.
Although you can argue that policy lists people with angel wings as
being nonhuman, that is specifically because the health analyzer lists
them as mutants, so it makes no sense for health analyzers to do so
because of policy.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Flightpotion wings will no longer make health analyzers list
you as nonhuman.
