Species now 'suggested' by robolimb manufacturer, helps with getting the correct hairstyle choices for each synth, so Taj have access to Taj hair styles and whatnot in mirrors if they are using a Taj-based synth. Also adds a DSI Akula variant that Zalvine should touch up later hopefully.
* More accurately, it automates updating your character setup. None of this code does anything you could not already do manually on the Character Setup screen, it simply does it automatically for you.
* Specifically a few things are saved either at round end or when you cryo:
* Your late-join spawn location is determined by which cryo/elevator/etc you used to leave last time. Departing thru the elevators will set your spawn location to elevators etc.
* Your weight is saved (also any extra or deficient nutrition is resolved into weight gain/loss)
* Your limbs settings are updated based on your status at end of round (whether limbs are normal, missing, robotic, etc)
* Your markings are saved so they will be the same as when they were at end of round.
* ALL of these changes are optional, toggled on the VORE tab of character setup.
* Replaced hard coded numbers for weight gain with constant defines.
Like plus or ampersand or single or escaped quotes in the name, it goes crazy. You can't remove Socks+Belly because it has a plus, once you've added it. I have no idea why. But here's a quick fix.

So you can customize your character with tattoos or fur colors for Taj or whatever. I'll let Anewbe work out what he wants to whitelist other than what I did already.
The icons are sliced up with the HumanScissors program I wrote, so they are per-organ. So, lop off a limb, put it on someone else, they have the tattoos and whatnot. It's part of DNA so it comes with when cloning.
They are defined in the normal sprite_accessories file and the icons are all in markings.dm in the format of "markingname-organtag" so if you have a marking that spans both arms and torso you need "thatone-torso", "thatone-l_arm", "thatone-r_arm" icon states.

* If a custom item can't be equipped to a character's inventory it is dropped on the ground. For late join characters, equip_custom_item() was called before the mob was placed at their starting locations; their coordinates were still 1,1,1. Which is the edge of a map so they get bounced to another z level.
* Fix: Equip custom items AFTER job_master.LateSpawn places the mob at the starting location, so it flows in same order as roundstart join characters.
Links many map-specific details such as the station name, z-level information, and allowed jobs from global vars to map datum vars, which should help us maintain multiple maps at once in the future, which will be needed for the future Southern Cross.
Note that a config change will be needed to change GENERATE_ASTEROID to GENERATE_MAP, otherwise no changes should be required to continue normal map usage.
To change to a different map, it's suggested to tick the file that ticks all the other needed files, which for the Northern Star is called northern_star.dm.
Ghosts should be able to hear things once more.
The big bold NEW NEWS notice should remember if one has already seen the news, as the hash was not actually being saved. It's being saved now.
Adds ability for admins with R_SERVER perms to be able to set a persistant 'news' announcement that works similarly to admin memos, but for the public. This is ideal for telling the public things such as when an event is scheduled, directing people to a forum thread, new lore changes, new policies, etc.
The news window allows to define a title, and the body of the text, using an admin verb. The author and date are added automatically.
Any players can read the news window in the lobby. The button will bold itself, and display (NEW!), if the player has not seen the news before. This is done by comparing a hash of the body that the client remembers verses a hash the current news body.
