SyncIt21 3c5749f862 General maintenance for plumbing (#94427)
## About The Pull Request
The overall behaviour of everything should stay the same but the memory
& speed of these components has been slightly improved and when you
scale that across large plumbing factories you get a substantial
improvement. Here's a list of the most noticeable changes along with
many others that aren't worth mentioning

- Removed vars `use_overlays`, `turn_connects`,
`recipient_reagents_holder`
- `active` var is now replaced with a proc which simply returns is the
machine wrenched or not
- `turn_connects` has been removed because all machines have their pipes
rotate when the machine is rotated. This also removed all the static
icon states ending with `-s` from the `dmi` file thus reducing that file
size as well
- `extend_pipe_to_edge` var is directly integrated into `cut_overlays()`
because it's use cases were limited such for showers & sinks
- Simplified `Initialize()` a lot. Removed params `start`,
`turn_connects`, `custom_receiver`, `extend_pipe_to_edge`. We now only
pass `bolt_layer` making that proc faster & less convoluted
- Replaced `set_recipient_reagents_holder()` proc with
`recipient_reagents_holder()` which returns the reagent holder for
holding reagents instead of storing it in the component. This removes
the need to hook a qdel signal on the holder & we don't need to keep
track of it
- Merged a ton of procs to reduce overhead & reduce file size
- Plumbing ducts creating the network at mapload is faster without using
recursion and the timer subsystem
- Deconstructing plumbing ducts is faster in reconstructing the network
without using recursion and the timer subsystem

This makes managing plumbing code less convoluted & overall better for
the foreseeable future. See the lines of code removed vs added and still
preserves behaviour

## Changelog
🆑
qol: added examines & screentips for ducts & stack of ducts
qol: you can wrench a stack of ducts on the ground to create a pipe
refactor: plumbing code has been improved overall. Report bugs on github
sprite: removed unused static(does not rotate with machine) icon states
for plumbing connections

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
