* bioluminescent kidan! 🐜🏮
Gives Kidan an IC tab ability that makes them glow! wow!!!!!
This adds body and head markings, a new glowy organ to kidan lower body,
and glowing space ants! wow!!!!!!
Bioluminescence eats away nutriment, you can be glowing for some 13
minutes at roundstart before you starve out and the light goes out.
Dying also turns off the light. And shadowlings veil too.
Light color is based on a mix between head and body markings colors,
where the body markings color is slightly more predominant.
How bright you are depends on how much clothing you have. A full nakey
kidan is as bright as a flashlight, while a fully suited kidan isn't
bright at all. Rolling down jumpsuits makes you more bright too. Basic
idea is less clothes in the way, more brightness.
Oh you can also remove the light organ and implant it on other things,
and they will gain the ability to be bioluminescent. Yes you can be a
hot pink glowing neon green in the dark vulp. If you implant the organ
on someone else, the light will be based on the original kidan's colors.
kudos to Traveling Merchant for the sprite work, and KasparoVv for
helping me out with the markings part. Only one set of body markings is
done yet, but hey they're easy to make

When a new Vox spawns in, your tail won't suddenly break (become a
different colour).
Abstracts icobase/deform/tail from the species definitions a bit so
individual mobs can have a different icobase/deform/tail than other mobs
of the same species.
Removes some mystery pixels and tidies up the Grey sprite a bit.
Fits tattoo markings to Grey bodies. Let the ink flow.
Greys still need to be sprite-fitted for all suits, headwear, eyewear,
facewear and uniforms.
Makes the code a lot more consistent to all the other locations it's
implemented as well.
Works the exact same as it did before but with a few less lines of code.
Also sorts out an issue with two facial hair objects having the same name. Woops.
Previously, your markings would only randomize if you clicked the randomize button and were of a species that had body markings. Fixes that and tidies up the proc calls for marking randomization a bit.
Furthermore, a bug existed where if you changed a mob's species via CMA, the mob's cosmetic attributes (hair, hair colour, skin colour, skin tone, marking styles and colours, head accessory style and colour) will not have changed correctly. Delaying appearance update fixed that.
Finally, a mob's body will now correctly render as fat if they become fat and skinny if they become skinny and show deformities immediately.
Further explaining this fix: It required an override to be implemented in update_body that re-cached the mob's bodyparts in order to reflect changes to the limbs (i.e. fatness/slimness).
As for deformation, I just needed to modify the existing update_body() proc call.
