Ghom 17b3091867 Merges tinfoil (hat) protection into the anti_magic component. Implements it on Hivemind gamemode and telepathy. (#43978)
About The Pull Request

Was fairly shocked to find out hiveminds never took tinfoil hat protection in account, so decided to implement the factor in the game mode. Might have overdone it and probably erroneously changed a couple logics while getting rid of some really indented passages that could easily early return.
So what's said on the tin, this is lot more preferable than clunky is_type() checks on headwear anyway.
Also expanded tinfoil protection to hivemind and (non-revenant) telepathy.
Why It's Good For The Game

Let us remember the "purpose" of tinfoil hats.
Changelog

cl
code: Merged tinfoil hat kind of protection into the anti_magic component.
add: Tinfoil hats can also be warped up from excessive dampening of mindray/though control/psicotronic anomalies, or by simply being microwaved in an oven, and become useless.
add: Immortality Talisman and Paranormal Hardsuit helmets now come with tinfoil protection too (minus the paranoia and limited charges).
balance: Rebalanced many hivemind effects to be dampened/delayed by tinfoil shielding. Bruteforced Assimilate Vessel, One mind and Awake Vessel abilities will consume more tinfoil charges compared to others.
balance: Genetics/Slime/Alien Telepathy and Slime Link are now stopped by tinfoil protection.
