New Update: Solaris, attachments and many bug fixes

New planet map: Solaris! Contributed by Tunguso4ka

This is our second planet map, which will be randomly picked each round.

It features a large cave system for the xenonids to build their hive in, with an open space where the marines start pushing from.

This will also allow us to implement survivors in the future, who will have to defend themselves from the xenonids until the marines arrive on the planet.

Many new attachments. Contributed by Siigiil

This includes all standard attachments, excluding the bipod, under-barrel extinguisher, under-barrel flamer, and any attachments specific to weapons that are not implemented yet.

The Warrior's lifesteal passive. Contributed by DrSmugleaf

The Warrior was missing its passive from SS13, which restores its health with each attack.

Limited to 1 heal per melee attack, it heals the Warrior for 7% of its current missing health, adding 1% for each marine within a 3 tile radius of it, to a maximum of 9% total. Minimum heal of 20, maximum heal of 40. A popup is displayed to the Warrior and marines if the max of 9% is reached. This does not count nested nor dead marines.

Remember to split up when fighting one as a marine!
