## About The Pull Request
I finally have the pleasure of killing decl by giving it a new name and
updated handling.
Also abstract_types now have universal support!

Based on:
Baystation12/Baystation12/pull/32114
Baystation12/Baystation12/pull/32687

## Changelog
🆑
code: /decl/ is now /singleton/
code: abstract_type is now on the /datum/ level
/🆑

<!-- Both 🆑's are required for the changelog to work! You can put
your name to the right of the first 🆑 if you want to overwrite your
GitHub username as author ingame. -->
<!-- You can use multiple of the same prefix (they're only used for the
icon ingame) and delete the unneeded ones. Despite some of the tags,
changelogs should generally represent how a player might be affected by
the changes rather than a summary of the PR's contents. -->

/**
* Abstract-ness is a meta-property of a class that is used to indicate
* that the class is intended to be used as a base class for others, and
* should not (or cannot) be instantiated.
* We have no such language concept in DM, and so we provide a datum member
* that can be used to hint at abstractness for circumstances where we would
* like that to be the case, such as base behavior providers.
