MrMelbert b1a4e0ba7e Makes disease airborne spread more realistic (#83423)
## About The Pull Request

1. Rather than checking every life tick to try to spread via air, it
checks every breath tick. IE, every 8 seconds.
2. Wearing a mask now protects you from catching airborne diseases,
rather than only protecting you from spreading it.
3. Wearing a mask is no longer guaranteed effective (unless on
internals), it now scales based on BIO armor. This is doubly effectively
for people wearing a mask to stop spreading to others vs wearing a mask
to block spreading to them.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Wearing any kind of mask means airborne viruses will never spread, but
also wearing any kind of mask on the opposite end is pointless unless on
internals. Kinda silly.

This PR unifies those behaviors. Wearing a mask to stop spread is still
rewarded, as BIO armor is doubly effective at stopping a spread attempt
as blocking a spread attempt.

Ultimately the goal of this is to give players a realistic way to
protect themselves against airborne transmission vectors besides staying
on internals 100% of the time.

## Changelog

🆑 Melbert
balance: Wearing a mask can now prevent you from being spread airborne
diseases. Prior, it only stopped you from spreading it yourself.
balance: Wearing a mask no longer 100% guarantees you don't spread
viruses to others people - it now scales on the masks BIO armor. Get a
sterile mask from Medical for max safety.
balance: Wearing a mask to stop you from spreading to other people is
doubly effective than wearing a mask to prevent spread to yourself -
Mask up for the greater good!
balance: Passive airborne virus spread attempts are now done every time
you breathe (every eight seconds), rather than every two seconds. The
chance of spread is the same, though - it has been scaled up to
accommodate.
code: Cleaned up a fair bid of airborne-transmission-code. Report any
oddities.
