No mechanical changes come of this change, only the ability to have an antagonist faction, as well as having specified visbility for the affiliation itself.
Also adds Skrell home system to the home system list.
Fixes auto blindness and no click on 510 servers, lessens the lag of
mesons and material scanners, and I suspect the general speed as well.
I only made it work for Polaris (and by extention, to our server, Eros),
and adapted it a bit.

'chu heard me. S'what it does. When you're on a call, there's a "Start Video" button next to each person. When you click it, you actually look through their thing, like a ghost might if they ghostcalled. You have to stay within 1 tile of a video showing communicator to see it.
Multiple people can share one communicator video stream by setting it on a table or whatever, and examining it. There's a message like "It appears to be showing a video: [view]" and you can click view and you can all look at the video. COLLABORATION. SYNERGY. OTHER BUZZWORDS.
I also added the feature of DECLINING requests from people.
Also communicators show up on a special camera list on security consoles, but the same EPv2 network visibility turns this off as well if you wanna be all hidey. This does mean that people with the visiblity on serve as sort of roaming AI cameras for the AI as well. So the AI can watch you repair the outside of the station or whatever if you want.
Adds variants of ID cards for each department and head, and adds several new colors of wallet. The wallets self-color the little ID in the corner based on the ID inserted so they always show the right picture of the ID, without needing to sprite each ID. Some are snowflaked, notably Gold and Centcom, but the rest are generated on the fly based on colors on the ID.
Print 'em out, slap an MMI or Posibrain in. They come from a new machine, the Prosthetics Fabricator. You can order license discs from cargo to print the proprietary limbs. Making FBPs requires a bit of research as well, otherwise you only get arms/legs. Also requires a bit of plasteel to make the critical parts. Mostly just need every limb, plus eyes. Torso comes with the snowflakey FBP battery.
Also adds an FBP 'self-diagnostics' verb. More vague than an analyzer.
**This adds a machine that needs to be placed on the map. "/obj/machinery/pros_fabricator"**
Personally, I would replace the right-side exosuit fab with it. I can add this to my PR but I'm unsure how you guys feel about non-devs submitting map changes.
This updates synthetic limbs to make more sense. It tweaks what you can 'see' when examining people. If someone has a robotic leg but is wearing pants, how would you know that? If someone has a burn on their arm, but their jumpsuit sleeves down, how would you know that? If someone has a replacement Vey-Med arm, how would you know it's robotic? It also treats examining FBPs more 'realistically'. If they are covered except for their head, it doesn't matter if their whole body is Bishop robotic. If their head is Vey-Med and that's all you can see, they just look human to you.
So FBP manufacturers can have a 'lifelike' var set. Vey-Med has this. This makes the limbs not show obviously non-organic damage (dents) until they are more damaged and start showing wires/metal. Attempts to treat these limbs with medical stuff results in a different message. Manufacturers can also set individual blood colors. Vey-Med blood is now white, ala Bishop from Aliens.
isSynthetic proc = Is the mob actually synthetic, as in, mechanically for breathing/tox purposes?
looksSynthetic proc = Does the mob display outward signs of being synthetic? Based on head and torso and what's revealed.
Other fixes:
You can no longer attach limbs to non-existent parents. You can't give somone a foot on a leg that doesn't exist.
You can't attach fleshy limbs to robotic ones. BODIES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY.
'Synthetic' var on humans points to manufacturer if you need to grab it quickly. isSynthetic returns this as well.
Robolimb count (and thus overheating speed) updates whenever your limbs change.
Lifelike FBPs do not show a 'system offline glyph'.
isSynthetic and looksSynthetic moved to human_helpers becasue they were defined on human in mob_helpers
Nanopaste correctly repairs limbs using the new procs (both burn and brute, making it an expensive welder+wire)
