SkyratBot fbb78302cf [MIRROR] Makes obj_integrity private and only updated through procs (#6125)
* Makes obj_integrity only updated through procs (#59474)

Having things updating integrity directly is just going to cause more problems down the line as more elements and components depend on being notified of integrity changes. It's an easy mistake to make so making it private should deal with the problem.

get_integrity() might be useful in the future but is mainly a side effect of making obj_integrity private as that also disallows reads.

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 it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
