Jacquerel ce669c3924 Makes your current position clearer while jaunting (#90173)
## About The Pull Request

I was fucking around testing the Voidwalker earlier for a different
issue and didn't like that I couldn't see myself while in space.
This PR makes it so that Voidwalkers and also any variant of Ethereal
Jaunt place an icon visible only to you at your current position (it's
like your _soul_) so that you can see where you are going.
Nobody else can see it.

There are almost certainly some other sources of being invisible which
could use this so let me know if you are aware of one.
Although if you do that I may need to make my code more generic.

## Why It's Good For The Game

It's nice to be able to see where you are precisely rather than just it
being the centre of the screen

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 its 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
