Better Control of Weeding and Areas - Landing Zone edition.

[Nanu308]

About the pull request

This PR adds the feature of; On Marine drop to the planet/station, weeds will be deleted from set areas according to the landing zone they select, and a non harmful gas will spawn and disappear shortly after as a lore reason for the weeds disappearing (Agent Orange). The areas which the weeds are deleted from can not be weeded for Eight Minutes, Original test had Five Minutes.

Both timers and areas selected are subject to change. The old system has been removed from playable areas. No longer do you need to wait for 20mins to weed an area after marine drop. All of the colony belong to you xeno!!! (Until Marines land) Survs might have it harder :D)

Features for timed blockers like caveins etc. has been added, see next paragraph as an example of usecase.

Big Red, South West Cave now has timed blockers to hinder a SW hive and Marines alike from going a straight line to attack each other. These blockers dissappear in a "cavein" at fourty minutes from roundstart, Roughly on average twenty minutes after marines land.

Ovi Queen Feature. Restricts areas queens can ovi & place the hivecore in at roundstart. This also has a set timer on it, making it so queens are only allowed to Ovi+Hivecore in mapper set areas on roundstart, but as the round progresses all areas unlock and the queen can move anywhere. Currently set to 25 Minutes from roundstart.

If you believe an area is intended to be Ovi'd in but missed, message or ping me on Discord about it.

Explain why it's good for the game

This is to hinder instant FOB sieges and give Marines a bit more of a headstart into the early round so they do not immediately get pushed back to the FOB, and the game turns into a siege which are boring for several xeno castes and marine players alike.

This will hopefully allow more skirmishing across the middle of the map. If this is a success we might be able to get rid of the non-weedable areas from roundstart & for 20mins after marine drop which the game currently has in effect on several maps.

This keeps the game the same up till Marines land, so survivors do not get a free holdout anymore like on the past test. This change is also less limiting on Xenos with both duration and area zones selected.

I might add further areas that queen can hive in, if so, you can come with recommendations but i will let it be known i disagree with for example hiving right next to the LZ, or akin which makes the entire map go un-used.
