*removed the inexistent reagent/plasma subtype of hellwater
*hitting someone with unholy water in body with the bible now turns the unholy water in holy water instead of space cleaner
RESULTS:
sorting 10 random lists of length 3 to 303 in increments of 3
(Meh, I forgot to refresh this one, there were only 338 trials rather than 1010, can't be bothered to recode the test)

Summary, all the new procs are faster than the old ones. TimSort is ever so slightly slower than Insertion and Merging on random lists. But on lists with natural runs (partially sorted data) it is far faster than all others.
The old merge sort was removed and replaced with timSort. Other algorithms are provided as alternatives.
All algorithms use a central datum, so accept many of the same parameters. For instance, setting associative=1 will make them sort associative lists by their associated values, rather than keys.
They also accept a cmp argument. This allows sorting of lists of datums, text, numbers or whatever. The pre-existing helpers in lists.dm were rewritten as examples.
-Singularity engine is now sealed off from outer space, making it more secure from saboteurs and safe from meteors
-Deputy armbands (red) added to HoS office. These can be ad-hoc distributed by the HoS when deputizing crew
-Slight remap of HoS office to fit everything in there. added a filing cabinet and paper, too
-Shutters added under robotics and R&D's primary hallway windows
-Filing cabinet and paper added in bridge
