Banana Touch > Cluwne's Curse

About the PR

Banana Touch has fully replaced Cluwne's Curse as a spell in the wizard's spellbook.

Why / Balance

Getting cluwned is a roundabout way of round removing someone and it sucks. Cluwning has become the go-to for wizards that want to round remove as many people as possible lately, and given that it is as uninteresting as ye olde smite, I'd like to see it gone. We now have Banana Touch, turning them into a True Clown instead (IE with the Clumsy trait). This is potentially still quite a strong curse as there is currently no way to remove curses, so you could end up crippling a security force over time or forcing the captain to put their laser pistol away, but hey, at least they still get to play the game.

Technical details

Made a new spell event, TransformSpellEvent, taking heavy inspiration from how ss14-harmony#524 was worked on. This event can both add or remove components and apply a new outfit to the target. Could make for some interesting spells in the future beyond just Banana Touch if we ever do a proper Ronstation Spell Pack. Also added a WizardTransformationComponent as a stop-gap to prevent you from applying one of these spells multiple times. With Banana Touch, this wouldn't necessarily result in much, but future spells might be more abusable without this restriction. The component could be worked on more in the future to allow for multiple Transformations to apply at once without applying existing ones multiple times, but that felt outside the scope of this project.

Debated also turning off the injector spilling. Did want to mention it here just in case clowning medical becomes the New Thing to do. That is a lever we may yet pull.
