SkyratBot 558c466b81 [MIRROR] Splits placeontop proc [MDB IGNORE] (#25103)
* Splits placeontop proc (#79702)

## About The Pull Request
I find the proc hard to read honestly. There's no reason we can't split
this into two functions - the secondary functionality is used only once,
in reader.dmm.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Code improvement
Glorious snake case
## Changelog
N/A nothing player facing

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

See/Define signals and their arguments in __DEFINES\components.dm
