Ghom b82567ebd3 AddComponent() now throws a crash message when the comp type arg is not a component. (#76221)
## About The Pull Request
HEY! Did you know that the AddComponent() proc can complete without
throwing errors when the component type argument is actually not a type
or instance of a component? Me neither (until now), but I've recently
discovered that while working on #76219 (Make sure to merge that one
first).

Also adds early return checks to the AddElement and RemoveElement procs.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Silent bugs are awful.

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
