* Hooks up informing Master the gameticker actually starts and stops the round subsystems will actually fire! What ho!
* We should convert the gameticker as an MC subsystem someday, and probably completely rewrite it while we are at it becuase it is crazy. But this should bridge the gap until then.
* Based on https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/25386
* Create macro for defining new subsystem types.
* Create PreInit proc to handle setup that needs to be done before the map loads
* Rename garbage_controller subsystem to garbage so it matches its global SSgarbage variable name.
* Optimized garbage collection of radiation sources until we get qdel() hints.
* Made the RADIATION_LOWER_LIMIT configurable (option for people to save some cpu time)
* Added some comments and broke the proccessor into separate procs for profiling purposes
* Added a changelog.
* The performance of the radiation controller as-is was not fast enough for inclusion in production servers, but it has some nice featuers, so rewrote it to be more performant.
* Instead of storing the radiation strength for every turf, we only store the sources of radiation, and calculate the strength only for mobs who might be in range.
* Old method was ray-tracing to every turf in range whether anything was there to be irradiated or not. Could be hundreds of turfs. New method only lazily calcualtes strength at a turf if we actually need to know it. Often times this is zero turfs if nobody is standing in engineering.
* Removed the automatic processing of objects with "rad_power" set. Objects are responsible for calling the repository to create/update their radiation sources. Saves some extra overhead that in practice was redundant with other process controllers.
* Also tweaked to be more respectful of qdel'd objects and added some comments.
* New atom to hold a turf's decal overlays instead of the turf itself.
* Change floor_decal initialization to use it instead, and change other decal/overlay interaction procs to use it instead.
* Add floor decal initialization to master controller to do them in one fel swoop instead of nickel and diming.
* Stop area init from updating open space turfs; let the open space controller do it.
-Arrival airlocks have no controller/default bolts
-Backup atmospherics on the space station has no filter discharge if you arent venting to space - it filters O2 and N2, and no outlet for anything else
-Medical maintenance APC is unpowered, next to Chemistry and Psychiatry
-Resleeving lab window tint doesnt work
-The stairs just outside the warden's office, on the lower level, have no guard rail/window
* Its much easier to test out and decide what explosion scalar is nice if you can configure it.
* As an added bonus, by setting it to zero this lets you disable multi-z explosions altogether without turning off all of multi-z.

* Creating new objects is cheap, in fact comparable to the cost of getting it out of the pool, so it doesn't help there.
* Placing items in the pool is far more expensive than letting them garbage collect due to the resetting of vars and such.
Controller with deferrals and SCHECKs to be specific. Won't lag while updating the sun, weather, or temperature.
Also moved some vars around. Namely the planet walls are stored on the planet, not in the weather_holder.
Planets now have their own turfs, the controller 'gives' them to the planets each cycle if there are any unallocated turfs in the global lists, to avoid iterating over other planets' turfs if you have more than one, then cuts the lists if you were crazy and some turf added some invalid type. This saves us type-checking in the for() loops later to make them crunch faster. The former operation should only happen once at the start of the game (and maybe very rarely when turfs are added/removed from a map during the game).
With regards to the temperature updates, rebuilding the zone entirely is an intensive operation. Instead we can use this new cheaty proc to do it from over here. ZAS code outside ZAS oh noooo. Well, the option is to snowflake this case into ZAS which is maybe worse?
Only downside to all this is that if you manually set weather and time it might take between 1-60 seconds for the controller to get around to checking if you wanted to update it. That's not that big a deal. If you really want you can now debug that controller and call doWork on it.
* Adds a verb for debugging any of the running process controllers. Unlike the old debug controller verb, this one is not hard coded, so any present and future processes will be included. Requires R_DEBUG (and R_ADMIN if in paranoid mode)
* Adds a verb for debugging the process scheduler itself. This is hidden by default until debug verbs are shown. Requires R_DEBUG (and R_ADMIN if in paranoid mode)
* Adds system for turfs to have "footstep sounds" that play when someone walks over them.
* Adds system for floor types (the kind of turfs where you can put tiles on them) to support the footstep sounds.
* Adds sounds to plating, tiles, wood, and carpet floor types.
* Footstep sound system is configurable in game_options.txt, it can be turned off completely or the volume adjusted.
* If the "scheduler" controller is restarted by the process scheduler for
any reason, it will start throwing runtimes every status panel update
because the new replacement instance doesn't initialize its list of
schedule tasks.
* Fix that by copying over the unfinished list from the old instance, but
doing some safety checks to make sure it doesn't copy over bad stuff.
