Replaced every l_hand = and r_hand = and all that if(hand) crap to use standardised procs. This means we can use procs like Dropped() reliably as they will always be called when things are dropped.
Thorough documentation to come. But generally, if you want a mob's icons to update after deleting something in the inventory...use drop_from_inventory(the_thing_you_wanna_drop) just before deleting it. If you wanna put something in a mob's hands use put_in_hands() (or one of the variants). It'll try putting it in active hand first, then inactive, then the floor. They handle layers, overlays, screenlocs calling various procs such as dropped() etc for you. Easy
mob.equipped() is now mob.get_active_hand() because there was another totally unrelated proc named equipped() and stuff was confusing.
Weakening was made instantaneous.
Minor optimisations for human/handle_regular_status_updates(). I'll port these changes over to the other mobs next. Basically it should stop it constantly incrementing every status effect even after death.
umm... bunch of overlays related fixes... I think that's everything. :/

update_clothing() has been broken up into it's key parts. A full explanation can be found in code/modules/mob/living/carbon/human/update_icons.dm
the tl;dr of it is that overlay updates are no longer called by the gameticker. Instead they are called by procs such as u_equip db_cick etc. This means faster updates (although admittedly, more of them can be called per tick). This however is offset by the fact that specific overlays can be updated now, vastly improving its efficiency. This will especially help when there are large numbers of dead mobs.
Fixed the throw code for TKgrab so it can be toggled.
Cloaking for aliens/humans/ninjas was changed. It's very crude at the moment and for that I apologise. But it works and is very efficient.It also stops cloaked individuals becomming invincible due to people being unable to hit them (even when they know exactly where they are)
Fixed a bunch of bugs with damage-overlays. They were updating FAR FAR to frequently. They were also horribly inefficient. They should now be virtually seamless when updating and only use cached icons, so they aren't affected by lag as badly. This may help with explosions lag a little.
There's still a tonne of stuff I need to refine with this. I'll be refining it down into some helper procs to reduce on code duplication and such

Fixed a missing tile on the salvage shuttle.
Reverted it back to cultists getting one random word each because I broke something apparently.

The Staff of Change no longer works on dead targets (to prevent resurrection when the new mob is created and the ckey transferred).
The Staff of Change can now cause a mob to change into a human (and a chance for said human to be a lizardman/metroidman/plantman/golem/normal human)
