GPeckman 83205e7651 Various tweaks to cargo/bounties (#76982)
## About The Pull Request
- Bounty pads now benefit from upgraded parts (microlaser and scanning
module). When you pick a bounty that you can't complete, you normally
have to wait 5 minutes to pick another. Each upgrade will reduce this
time by 30 seconds, down to a minimum of 2 minutes.
- Sunglasses can now be bought from cargo. They can be bought as a crate
with one pair for 400 credits. Security access is needed to purchase it.
- The gripper gloves single-pack has been changed into the
gorilla-gloves single-pack.
- Removed the shady jims bounty.
- Previously, you could only screwdriver/crowbar bounty pads with right
click, not left click. Most machines use left click, and the bounty pad
does too now.

## Why It's Good For The Game
- This now gives a reason to actually upgrade the bounty pad. It also
mitigates situations where you are only offered bounties that are
infeasible to complete; This happens a lot to cargo techs, as they can
get most if not all bounties offered to them.
- Much like insulated gloves, sunglasses are limited in supply and are
desirable for both antags (flash protection) and nonantags (convenient
welding protection, revolution protection). This allows sunglasses to be
ordered from cargo. Ideally, this will lead to more interaction with
cargo.
- The gripper gloves single-pack costs 600 credits. Gripper gloves can
already be bought from the sectech vendor, usually for less than that,
and the vendor has 5 of them in stock so they almost never run out.
There is very little reason to go to the hassle of ordering something
from cargo when you could just buy from the sectech instead. By
replacing the gripper gloves with gorilla gloves, there is now a reason
to order from cargo instead.
- The shady jims bounty has always been a bit of a noob trap, being an
item that sounds common but is in reality rare contraband. However, the
nerf of smuggler satchel spawns from 10 to 2 (#76621) was the final nail
in the coffin. This bounty is just infeasibly hard to complete, and
should be removed.
- There is no reason for the bounty pad to use right click instead of
left click, and consistency is generally good.
