SmArtKar f00caffd90 Better metalgen logging and some behavior fixes (#90546)
## About The Pull Request

Metalgen imprinting is now logged, foam and smoke have better logging
and so do plasma metalgenned things, metalgen no longer causes a ton of
runtimes on almost everything and foam and smoke no longer affect
abstract objects.
Also ***hopefully*** solves the issue with infinite hotspot loops, but I
don't think anyone knows what exactly occured there.

## Why It's Good For The Game

If servers explode, admins need to know who did it and coders need to
know how they did it.

## Changelog
🆑
fix: Metalgen foam/smoke no longer cause an absurd amount of runtimes
fix: Foam and smoke no longer affect abstract objects like landmarks
admin: Metalgen imprinting is now logged
admin: Improved logging for foam and smoke, and plasma metalgenned
objects

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.
