Improvements to Telecomms. I wasn't happy with my relays and having telecomms send several messages on different Z levels was not effecient. I decided to overcome this by removing the need to attach Broadcasters and Transmitters to relays. Then I made relays just add to the signal data which z levels the message will be broadcasted on, instead of sending the message several times. It's a bit hard to explain but basically it should be better then ever, and adding more relays will not create serious performance issues. Since you can't control whether the Z level could only receive messages or only send them, I added options on the relay itself so you can set it. I then made an additional feature, which Nodrak gave me the idea for, which is that busses can change the frequency of a signal. It's an option on the Bus and you can set it to change the signal's frequency, which can create hilarious situations such as the command channel being redirected to the general channel. No way to duplicate a signal with a different frequency at the moment. Since relays earlier depended on a stupid system in order to become a off-site relay, I instead just made it limited to the satellite Z level, which makes more sense. Broadcasters and Receivers are linked to the HUB, but it's still possible to create a simple telecommunication system with a "Receiver -> Bus -> Processer -> Broadcaster" (though it will be slow) OTHER Smartfridge limit was lowered to 999, just below the infinite loop check limit. This is to prevent further issues that may occure. Moved creating some icon datums above the SQL procs, just to make sure that the SQL itself isn't sleeping and causing issues with the datums being used before being loaded. git-svn-id: http://tgstation13.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@5183 316c924e-a436-60f5-8080-3fe189b3f50e
