This PR increases cuff time to 4 seconds, but adds a trait for gloves
that makes you cuff 1 second faster. Currently this is placed on black
gloves, the captain's gloves and any other gloves which are used for
combat (like krav maga, any tacklers, and combat gloves). Chameleon
gloves also have this trait so that traitors have a glove choice other
than the somewhat conspicuous combat gloves to help them with
kidnapping, something they may do for objectives or contracting.
It also makes nitrile and latex gloves hide your fingerprints once
again.
<!-- Describe The Pull Request. Please be sure every change is
documented or this can delay review and even discourage maintainers from
merging your PR! -->

Latex gloves not hiding fingerprints was basically done purely for
balance reasons to make them not a direct upgrade over black gloves,
however it bothered me that this made little sense logically and is very
unintuitive and not something that's easy to tell in game. I've
personally arrested multiple people while playing sec using finger print
evidence they didn't even realize I could possibly have because they
thought their gloves would protect them.

Also I don't like playing against shove cuffing, dying because you dared
to stand within 1 tile of a wall or table and got shoved once is unfun
and takes basically zero effort or preparation and is one of the most
effective things you can do to fight someone, it discourages RP because
literally anyone can just turn on combat mode, walk you into the wall
while you're typing and kill you with nothing but a pair a cable cuffs.
This will make it take a little more prep and make you a little more
conspicuous when you intend to do it.

<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->

<!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely
observed by players or admins you should add a changelog. If your change
does NOT meet this description, remove this section. Be sure to properly
mark your PRs to prevent unnecessary GBP loss. You can read up on GBP
and it's effects on PRs in the tgstation guides for contributors. Please
note that maintainers freely reserve the right to remove and add tags
should they deem it appropriate. You can attempt to finagle the system
all you want, but it's best to shoot for clear communication right off
the bat. -->

gloves) allow you to cuff people faster

/🆑

<!-- Both 🆑's are required for the changelog to work! You can put
your name to the right of the first 🆑 if you want to overwrite your
GitHub username as author ingame. -->
<!-- You can use multiple of the same prefix (they're only used for the
icon ingame) and delete the unneeded ones. Despite some of the tags,
changelogs should generally represent how a player might be affected by
the changes rather than a summary of the PR's contents. -->
