[UPSTREAM] TGUI Say

[Bobbanz1]

About The Pull Request

This PR ports TGUI Say from Beestation

It accomplishes this by pulling from upstream the following PR:

• TGUI Say BeeStation-Hornet#8404

That PR in turn ports TGUI Say from TG Station, those are in particular the following PRs:

• TGUI Say: Upgrades chat input with modern features tgstation/tgstation#67116
• TGUI Say no longer deletes your currently typed message on history tgstation/tgstation#67971
• Add replace_html to tgwindows (for real this time) tgstation/tgstation#67137
• adds the "refresh TGUI" debug verb tgstation/tgstation#67265

What the Beestation port does is it implements TGUI Say. However it does it in such a way that allows the player to choose between either using the TGUI Say interface or the original interface.

The PR also introduces the ability to let the player choose between using TGUI Inputs, such as tgui buttons/tgui lists and the original interface.

Additional Changes ported from Beestations TGUI Say PR:

• Added explo (although we don't use it), uplink, :l, :r and :h channel handling
• Added support for .channel prefixes
• Colors were tweaked
• The entire new window is draggable, excluding the textbox.
• The border has been tweaked slightly, it is not animated but has a minor gradient on both the top and bottom
• Added a border around the text input part of the box.
• Added LOOC channel (Quickly accessible by pressing L on your keyboard)
• Legacy support pref, with typing indicators and all
• Typing ; in Say mode will convert the radio prefix to ;, and removing it will go back to Say.
• Shift+TAB and right clicking the button will go back in channels.
• Re-opening the window on a different channel will no longer break the button contents.
• Added "show prefix" mode which treats :s as text in the input box while still updating the color and button.
• Pressing ESC on the game window with the say unfocused will exit the say.

SQL Update that needs to be done before test-merge and/or full merge

UPDATE SS13_preferences SET preference_value = preference_value | (1<<14) | (1<<15) | (1<<16) | (1<<17) WHERE preference_tag = 2;

Todo:

• Figure out how to record this stuff in action without reaching the github's file size limit

Why It's Good For The Game

Keeps the codebase somewhat up to date with Beestation.
This also makes it easier to import a future pull request from Beestation if we have the preferences and code required for it already in the codebase.

Want to add configurable hotkeys for chat messages; z being a permanent hotkey means qwertz keyboard users are getting their keybinds mixed up.

I can see what I can do when I get the time

And I'll certainly try

We can do the hotkey update in a next PR, so we don't have this open forever
