Adds a fairly simple system that allows adjusting various numbers like max health, incoming damage, outgoing melee damage, etc. The nice part is that changing certain variables this way (like max health) is a lot safer than manually setting the max health var directly.
Changes a lot of short lines of code to point towards a variable's getter or setter helper instead of reading the var directly so the modifiers can work.
Endoarmor, delayed toxin sting, Enfeebling sting, and recursive adrenaline overdose now use the modifier system.
Enfeebling sting now only lasts two minutes, from five minutes, however it now also reduces the victim's melee damage by 25%/50%, and increases the damage they suffer by 10%/35%, for normal and recursive respectively.
Delayed Toxin Sting's effects are now felt all at once instead of over the course of a few minutes.
A lot of new defines are now in inventory_sizes.dm, which contains;
All the size identifiers (the thing that tells the game if something is bulky, or w/e).
Storage costs for all the sizes, which are exponents of two, as previously.
A few constants for inventory size.
Also changes all storage item's capacity definitions by basing it off of how many 'normal slots' exist for it. This allows one to change the definition for all of the defines in the file, and everything will follow along without needing to change 500 files. In testing, I made all ITEMSIZE_COST_* defines doubled, and nothing had broke.
The benefit of doing all of this is that it makes adding new weight classes in the future much simpler, and makes knowing how much space a container has easier, as seeing ITEMSIZE_COST_NORMAL * 7 means it can hold seven normal items.
Bioelectrogenesis effectiveness can now be hindered by their gloves' electrical resistance. Wearing insulated and making your hands create electricity won't be a good idea now.
Fake death is now much more real, inflicting the changeling with a large amount of oxygen damage, causing actual death, which fixes a lot of inconsistencies and bugs involving the game not checking for FAKEDEATH, as that is no longer needed with actual death.
The text received when obtaining the revive verb is now much larger, to make it easier to see.
Revival now undislocates all limbs.
Changes failure message received when you try to revive when absorbed to be consistent in style with other ling messages.
Lings transform name and species together
Ling always get languages from the DNA, be it by absorb, channel, or DNA

Removed gender honorifics in lingchat because sometimes there's only one
