MrMelbert 2ac786671f Removes Ninja EMP burst / Adds Ninja EMP shurikens (#92899)
## About The Pull Request

- Ninja no longer has access to an EMP burst shield, now replaced with a
normal EMP shield.

- Ninja throwing stars are now emergy throwing stars. 
- On impact, they will release a heavy emp on the target it hit. This
can be a mob, a door, a machine, etc.
- On embed, in addition to the initial heavy emp, the target will be hit
with a light emp every 6 seconds until removing it.
   - `DROPDEL`, meaning they're not reusable. 
- 75 armor penetration, up from 40. Making it more likely to embed into
armored personnel (security)
- 8 force, up from 2. Meaning they can work as a really bad emergency
weapon.
- 12 throwforce, up from 10. Mainly cause it's made of energy instead of
steel
   - Can't be caught
   - See: #91855 . 

- Shurikens no longer "thud" on impact, now they make a stabbing sound.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Ninja is a cool techno future ninja but they still generate infinite
steel shurikens out of thin air

Ninja is supposed to be a master of stealth but they have an ability
which makes everyone in a twelve block radius know there's a problem

So we can solve both of these at once, replacing their normal shurikens
with more thematically appropriate ones, and replacing their massive EMP
burst with a more directed, stealthy EMP (that also opens up some unique
gameplay like targeting an APC with a shuriken for sabotage)

## Changelog

🆑 Melbert, Toriate
del: Removed ninja's EMP burst
add: Replaced ninja's throwing stars with energy throwing stars, which
EMP on hit and embed, and can't be caught.
