Fixes the ability to climb railings by removing the forcemove call that teleports players and instead refactoring the do_climb and climb_structure procedures in structure code itself.
Uses a similar method to tables of briefly turning collision off for the railing when the object is climbed in order to let players climb it, without moving the player into otherwise occupied space.

Allow players to construct railings of their very own, unfasten them from the flooring, deconstruct them including with RCDs, and all the good stuff from grilles, like electrification. Also solves the bug whereby you could climb over railings into solid tiles.
---Why---
My personal gripes is that this is a mechanics (among a few others) that will immutably change your char for the rest of the round. To reverse this process is either jarring from a pure IC view (if they have a clone backup you just kill them + clone and act as if it never happened) or immensely tedious, bothering the xenobiologist to breed a very specific slime and make extracts, and even that might not have guaranteed results.
This is a furry rp server with rounds that routinely last 4 hours and longer. I think it's also safe to assume that the majority of people who play here do so to play a character that they have specifically created. Having a meme that turns you into a flyperson doesn't feel very compatible with these traits. Sure, it's a punishment yes, one that can be avoided with a simple button press, but in the same light, isn't that a bit heavy handed?
---Balance---
I wrote the values as an initial guesstimate. I am not going to pretend I know how to balance an alternative to the fly meme, but I think what I did is a suitable punishment.
you will receive a lot of clone damage, some rads and for each limb it's a 50/50 on whether you loose it, including the head.
