Beam Devastator (RPG Replacement) and Beam Cannon (research)

[Stop-Signs]

About the PR

Adds the beam devastator, a much more powerful version of the beam cannon in #2221. Since the RPG is on the chopping block this could serve as a worthy replacement. It shoots several small damage beams a second and can be sprayed effectively. mag size of 500. takes incredibly long to recharge (about 10 minutes with a standard recharger), however it can be slotted into a cage recharger which has also been buffed, at this rate it takes ~3 minutes to fully charge.

#2221 was closed as this PR adds it anyway, adds the beam cannon as well to the sec research tree

IMPORTANT NOTE!!!!!!: This item is UNOBTAINABLE and in order to replace the RPG will need to be MAPPED/MIGRATED to do so. I am willing to map it myself but I don't exactly know how to do so.

Why / Balance

Curators were looking for an RPG replacement, this gun has a fairly low TTK and instead relies on sustained fire to be as oppressively as it is. A worthy successor to the RPG while not being just a no-skill one-tapinator

Technical details

Also, it won't really help as a breaching tool unless you're breaching an airlock since the lasers go thru the girders + the slowdown, you can just use a breaching charge instead

Requesting review, should be good to go honestly as it's balance approved & the RPG replacement happens per map.

RPG REPLACEMENT REAL RAAAAGH.
I like it. It feels more suppressive instead of "Fire and Forget" antag obliterator. Zombie Mains weeping.

This sentiment is shared by direction. (Who also hate the RPG) :blunt:
I would ask mappers after this PR is merged about this change.

Really the only thing that I'm curious about is how effective it is at clearing standard and reinforced walls. Other than that, it has the Direction Seal Of Approval.

I did test this, it takes over 100 shots to do so!

Alright, that's all I really need. This has Direction's approval to merge.

[therealDLondon]

This isnt code approval, but its approved as far as im concerned.
Direction approved, millions must merge

[deltanedas]

removed the beam devastator line from cl as this pr doesnt replace anything and it isnt likely to get migrated for every map
