Vekter 83e179ee21 Drastically simplifies the roundstart report (#89150)
## About The Pull Request

The roundstart report has been changed in the following ways:

- There are now only four alert levels: Yellow Star (0-65 Threat), Red
Star (66-79 Threat), Black Orbit (80-99 Threat), and Midnight Sun (100
Threat).
- The roundstart report is now 100% accurate.
- Extended rounds will still show the "No credible threat" alerts, but
this should only happen if an admin sets the round to Extended.

## Why It's Good For The Game

The current roundstart report system is too granular as it is now, which
leads to situations where players will suicide 5-10 minutes into the
round due to the threat level being too low. Making it potentially
random was meaningless, because players would just act on whatever it
said without actually giving the round a chance to do anything.

I also feel like this brings back a fair bit of paranoia to the round,
as low threat levels would often just result in people expecting nothing
to happen. That can be fun when the report is lying, but it doesn't
happen often enough to really make it worth keeping.

We tested this a few months ago and the results seemed positive. We also
had a lot of discussion about the matter and, while I'm open to changing
implementation in some ways, I'm pretty set on this being a beneficial
change, at least in the short term until we can make Dynamic more
interesting.

I kept the high threat level stuff because it's fun to know some crazy
shit might happen. I might bring back the random threat level thing to
differentiate between those but I don't really care tbh; the targeted
behavior here is people bailing on low threat rounds, not people knowing
it's a high threat round.
## Changelog
🆑 Vekter
balance: The roundstart report will now display a more broad, less
specific message about threat levels when between 0 and 80 threat.
