ATH1909 f7accbd1ad Bunnies conjured from top hats each start with no eggs remaining instead of ten (#57597)
This PR adds a subtype of rabbits that starts with eggsleft = 0 instead
of eggsleft = 10 to the game, and makes top hats summon them instead of
normal rabbits. Note that these rabbits can still lay loaded eggs if
you feed them carrots (each carrot will give them 1-4 more eggs, which
they will disgorge from themselves with time).

The slowdown values of the Easter Bunny outfit's pieces have been
nerfed to be -0.3 each instead of -1 each, which I believe should make
someone wearing both pieces of the outfit move at the same speed as a
cultist who's wearing berserker robes (which have a slowdown value of
-0.6). Both pieces of the Easter Bunny set now also have the
THICKCLOTHING flag, and the Easter Bunny head now has the SNUG_FIT
flag.

So, #56773 added the ability to pull rabbits from hats using wands. It
was a great PR, but there was one teensy little issue with it- each
rabbit that you pull out of a hat will, over a somewhat long period of
time, lay 10 loaded eggs, which you can use in-hand to receive a
chocolate egg and an Easter-related item.

Most of these items are just action figures, toys, etc., but two of the
items in the pool of prizes are the Easter Bunny head and the Easter
Bunny suit, which are two of the very few pieces of clothing in the
game that have negative slowdown values. Wearing even one of them will
let you zoom across the station at incredible speeds (you can see this
demonstrated in the Youtube video I linked above).

You will still be able to farm for Easter Bunny gear after this PR, but
you'll now have to acquire a consistent source of carrots and feed each
rabbit a carrot whenever you think it's low on remaining egg uses (you
can't stockpile eggsleft charges too far, as carrots won't increase the
eggsleft variable if it's >=8). You'll also still have to actually
collect and open each laid egg and deal with the risk of getting
swarmed by bees. This, I think, is a reasonable enough amount of effort
to acquire post-nerf Easter Bunny gear.

It should also be noted that you'll still be able to farm pet moodlets
and meat slabs from bunnies, which I've decided to leave in because you
can already do a similar thing with the kittens produced by Runtime and
a cat clone from cytology (which will always be male). Also, petting
zoos are fun, and I like the idea of the chef using small, innocent
creatures (and some bees) that have been summoned by stage magic as the
primary source of his food's meat.

The new clothing flags are there because the Easter Bunny set looks
like a mascot costume, which should be resistant to syringe injections
and dislodgements from thrown hats.
