Jeremiah a5a4b83a25 Sets prettier to run on the repo (#91379)
Prettier (an auto formatter) is set to only run within the tgui folder
currently. This removes that limitation, allowing it to automatically
format all supported files in the repo (.js, .html, .yml
[etc](https://prettier.io/docs/))

I made a few exceptions for bundled and generated files
I'm of the opinion that code should look uniform and am lazy enough to
want CTRL-S to format files without having to think beyond that

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 its arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
