LemonInTheDark 37aad4720d Reworks targeting behavior to fall back onto proximity monitors. Refactors ai cooldowns a bit (#82640) ...

## About The Pull Request

Nother bit ripped out of #79498
[Implements a get_cooldown() proc to get around dumb manual overrides
and empower me to optimize the findtarget
logic](7047d294dd)

[Adds modify_cooldown, uses it to optimize find_potential_targets
further](4ebc8cedce)

No sense running the behavior if we're just waiting on its output, so
let's run it once a minute just in case, then push an update instantly
if we find something

[Optimizes connect_range and
promxity_monitors](bcf7d7c5b3)

We know what turfs exist before and after a move
We can use this information to prevent trying to update turfs we don't
care about.

This is important because post these changes mobs with fields will be
moving a lot more, so it's gotta be cheap

[Implements a special kind of field to handle ai
targeting](80b63b3445)

If we run targeting and don't like, find anything, we should setup a
field that listens for things coming near us and then handle those
things as we find them.

This incurs a slight startup cost but saves so much time on the churn of
constant costs

Note:
We should also work to figure out a way to avoid waking ais if none is
near them/they aren't doing anything interesting

We don't need to do that immediately this acts as somewhat of a stopgap
(and would be good regardless) but it is worth keeping in mind)

## IMPORTANT

I am unsure whether this is worth it anymore since #82539 was merged. As
I say it was done as a stopgap because ais didn't know how to idle.
If not I'll rip er out and we'll keep the other
refactoring/optimizations.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Cleaner basic ai code, maybe? faster basic ai code, for sure faster
proximity monitors (significantly)
