ArcaneMusic 8a6649c8a9 Adds a cargo shuttle upgrade for plastic flaps and air refills. (#95393)
## About The Pull Request

We've all been there before. You send the cargo shuttle, you return it
only to find the blast doors were wide open, and air is now venting out
into space, and with the airlock cycling you are now trapped in a
freezing death trap of your own unwitting design.

This is funny and I want us to keep doing this.

But in an effort to continue to offer interesting things for cargo to
buy in a given shift, this PR offers the ability for cargo to buy an
upgrade to the cargo shuttle itself, that being 2 ~~tiny fans~~ Plastic
Flaps that are installed into the shuttle, as denoted by landmarks
mapped into the cargo shuttle.

Upon being picked up, also includes a certificate of installation. to go
onto the shuttle. Honestly, this is mostly so that I can be lazy and not
just spawn an empty crate but Ideally I open this up for future
categories of "cargo upgrades" that just spawn onto the station.

The other feature here is in shuttles having their air refilled on the
way to/from the station, as part of their subscription to air ™️

It's currently offered for the fairly steep price of 8,000 credits.

## Why It's Good For The Game

This is admittedly a luxury purchase, but, for players who are doing
well enough on credits, either through stocks, bounties, shuttle loans,
cargo events, whatever, this is something that players may want to
purchase for peace of mind, while being entirely optional in-game. The
cargo shuttle can be finicky in many ways and can tend towards easy
mistakes causing lots of pressure-related injuries in a round.

Again, this is intentionally offered at a high price point to avoid this
being an automatic purchase early into the round, but also something
that feels like an earned luxury if you have it, allowing you to focus
on your loop of buying and selling items, hustling if you will, without
caring if Larry over there is going to vent the shuttle for the
umpteenth time.

Like other tiny fans, these are not deconstruct-able and intentionally
should be locked to the cargo shuttle in practice.
