* Verbose Vote Initiation Feedback Tooltippery

Hey there,

So basically, the old implementation had it such that when a vote was disabled and you tried to trigger it, you could get a very nice message in your chat explaining why you could not trigger that vote in that moment. HOWEVER, there's a current fatal flaw in this logic:

You can't ever get that to_chat reason as to _why_ this vote is disabled since you can't click the button. I don't know if this ever worked, which is sad, because we had a lot of these nice messages that one would never see. So, let's leverage the power of TGUI and add messages.

The messages are applied per-datum singleton, and are a generic explanation of what the vote does when there is no specific reason assigned to it when the can_be_initiated() proc runs. If it can not be initiated, we change the message to reflect exactly why the player can not initiate the vote. It ends up looking something like this:

In order for this to work well for the restart vote and to lessen the amount of copy-pasting I might have to do, I created a new proc that checks to see if a valid admin is online, and uses that for both updating the message and restarting the server if the vote clears.

* fixes messages not resetting

* removes misleading section

the admin can always restart the server if they wish
