The new global list is called mechas_list, it contains all the mechs (sadly the 8 mechs of centcomm are added to this list, just to avoid problems with other servers with different maps)
Clowns, goats and spiders still use the old way to track targets (the view() proc).
The goal of this commit is to reduce lag, it will be really noticeable on the carp migration event, they should be 70% less laggy.

How is this an improvement? Before we looped through every possible reaction to see if a reaction would occure with our list of reagents. Now we already make a list of reagents which can have a reactions, cutting down on searching every single time. This will decrease the loop expensive iterations from 100s to only a handful.
How does it work? We format our chemical_reactions_list like this:
chemical_reactions_list[reagent_id] = list()
And then we fill that list of possible reactions. Thanks to Exadv1, to cut down on redundancy we only need to have a reaction in a single list at a single time, because our handle_reaction() loop will handle that.
Here is a paste of the structure of the list on runtime. http://privatepaste.com/327bb61628
(has: = an entry in the list that it is nested in)
- Fixed mecha weapons shooting over people lying down.

Moved helper for checking if mob is down on some operable surface to unsorted helpers.
Checking for tool type now will properly work with subtypes (istype instead of comparing type var)/
Removed var/constant/Pi It's already defined in setup.dm
Moved a bunch of global_lists to global_lists.dm
Fixed hair randomisation. (still bits to do)
Moved a lot of preferences_setup.dm stuff into __HELPERS/mobs.dm They'll be FAR more helpful as generic procs, rather than something tied to preferences.
Merged mob/var/nopush into status_flags with the CANPUSH flag
Merged mob/var/nodamage into status_flags with the GODMODE flag
Removed mob/var/be_syndicate and mob/var/be_random_name as they are not used.
Added /proc/ui_style2icon(ui_style) proc. It converts a string like "Midnight" into its corresponding dmi file. The code fore creating a new hud uses it.

Likewise, removed the spawn_xeno verb and made an equivalent bit of code in the FUN section of the secrets panel.
Fixed the create_xeno proc. It was supposed to ask you which type of alien to spawn but it was sending the popup to src, which should have been usr.
Create_xeno can now spawn queens and larva.
Create_xeno is fed a ckey (optional) rather than a ghost mob. Which will make it more versatile and reliable should clients log out during popups and such.
Created an client.is_afk(duration) proc. If the client has been inactive for duration frames (11 frames is roughly 1 second), it will return the number of frames it has been inactive. Otherwise it returns 0. If no duration value is given it defults to 3000 which is roughly 5 minutes. There's a bunch of code I need to replace with this which I will do after I've got the rest of the admin rank stuff finished as that takes priority.

>tried to make the comments less confusing.
>Removed the procs for rebuilding the lists (they weren't meant to be used and half were broken anyway).
>added a directory. It maps ckey to client like so directory[ckey] = client. It could be used for PMs, banning, and various other admin tools rather than using \ref[]
>var/list/admins is now a list of clients whom are admins.
>var/list/admin_datums is what var/list/admins used to be. A map from ckey -> admin datum
Most of this is so I can add modular admin ranks in a non-horrendous way and fix some existing issues.
>var/list/client_list is now var/list/clients (laziness sorry)
>removed some needless loops and stuff.

>Replaced dd_text2list, dd_text2listcase, tg_text2listcase and tg_text2list with text2list and text2listEx. text2list will return a list of each and every character in the string if you set separator=""
>added return_file_text(filepath) which returns text from a file after doing some checks: does the file exist? is the file empty? It prints helpful error messages to the world.log if it runs into problems
>Replaced dd_file2list(filepath, seperator) with file2list(filepath, seperator). It just calls text2list(return_file_text(filepath), seperator). rather than copypasta
>Replaced time_stamp() so it's not as retarded
>Lots of the world setup stuff uses file2list now, rather than file2text -> sanity -> text2list
>Added error() warning() testing() procs. These print messages to world.log with a prefix. e.g. ## ERROR: msg.
