…ude coroners and heretic paths instead. (#82923)

## About The Pull Request

Recently had the virologist tip show up before the round and people on
OOC flared that "there's no such thing anymore!". Quite an easy thing to
fix, so I thought I'll get to it, and added tips describing heretic
paths and for coroners while I was at it.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Virologists are no longer in the game, so tips for them are of no much
use.
More tips don't hurt, and Coroner and Heretic had none up to this point
which seems bit like an overseight.

## Changelog

:cl:
fix: The start-of-the-round tips will no longer feature virologists, but
will, however, start featuring heretics and coroners.
