SkyratBot c0799c48c0 [MIRROR] A small pile of borg combat changes [MDB IGNORE] (#22704) 
* A small pile of borg combat changes (#75819)

## About The Pull Request
This PR rebalances borg combat. It is first part of broader set of
changes that I talked about with armhullen, which was then discussed in
discord player project channel. Ultimately arm decided to rewrite the
complete rebalance and grab combat, but to help with testing, and to
measure reaction to that changes, I wrote this much smaller change, that
should be usable as a TMd test.
Main points that changed:

- Flashing cyborgs for the first time blinds them, and scrambles their
movement. Flashing them while they are blinded immobilizes them as it
used to, but still allows them to talk, and use radio.
- Emping cyborgs still turns them completely off, but the code behind is
_slightly_ changed, because of how utterly incomprehensible cyborg code
is
- Borg stunarm deals 60 stamina damage, costs 200 energy (SUBJECT TO
CHANGE AS SOON AS I DECIDE ON HOW TO), and applies confusion,
stuttering, and jittering.
- Robot consoles used by humans can now lock down only one borg at a
time, they exhibit increased power draw while doing so. The borg is also
informed of the location of the console. If left alone, the borg will
unlock itself in 10 minutes, to avoid leaving it permanently locked down
in some faraway place. If the console gets destroyed (or depowered), the
borg will get unlocked
- laser pointer only blinds borgs, without the paralyze component. If
you flash a borg blinded this way it will paralyze it, so comboing it is
possible.
- Throwing things at borgs slows them down

Not planned, but possible if testing shows its required:
- Changing borg health to malfunctions
- Whatever people convince me to add
- Portable lockdown solution for sec, or a way for them to do basic
check on borg.
- Usage of bucket/something else to restrict radio usage of cyborg

If you have ideas what would make this change better please use [discord
channel](https://discord.com/channels/326822144233439242/1113145741788065924),
or comments. Almost everything that I wrote here is subject to change,
as requested or suggested.

### DISCLAIMER
I had to change few functions in background of how borgs work. This WILL
have changes I couldn't predict, since some of them aren't linked in any
obvious way in code. I am aware of that, and will try fixing what needs
fixing when pointed out.
PS: Borg code is a nightmare

## Why It's Good For The Game
Borg combat sucks. It is absolutely binary, there is 0 capacity for
talking, because both sides fear losing in one click. Sec can't really
feasibly ask the borg to state laws while flashed, so their only
solution is to kill it and revive it.

- Turning most instastun solutions into less lethal versions should
lessen the pressure, since it reduces the chance that person that reacts
first survives.
- It causes minor reduction in traitor's capacity to emag borgs with
only a flash, but EMPs still hardstun, and they are plentiful both in
uplink, and in ghetto form, so that shouldn't be a problem.
- Since it allows borgs to scream for help while being flashed, it also
increases the potential of AI helping it, or at least noticing its
death.
- Lockdown console changes reduce its capability in completely turning
off malf ai, and leave it still highly capable of being an useful tool
in stopping emagged cyborgs.

## Changelog
🆑
balance: Flashing borgs requires two consecutive flashes to fully
immobilize
balance: Flashed borgs can speak
balance: Remote lockdown on cyborgs lasts 180 seconds
balance: Cyborg stun arm works like normal baton, and costs less energy
