Code refactoring

AIs and borgs now share law statement procs, rather than have 95% identical code variants.
Improved handling available law-statement channels. Now lists all available radio channels + any additional variants (such as "Binary", "Holopad", etc.)
Fixes a bug where synths could not state laws on the binary channel due to improper return-value.
