SkyratBot 3b623b8b67 [MIRROR] [READY]Directional lighting component + light system (#1474)
* Directional lighting component + light system (#54520)

Adds in a new type for the lighting system, the directional one. It piggybacks on the overlay lighting to create a directional effect + adds a nice visual cone mask to make the effect feel really directional.
Also: made the static light system respect the light_on variable.

It feels really nice to shine AT things you're looking at with flashlights and the such, it makes maintenance scouring much more immersive too.
Adds more paranoia as you dont see light behind yourself when you've got a flashlight. Plus makes ambushes more fun

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 this thread for an introduction to the system as a whole.

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