About The Pull Request

This will be needed for tgstation/tgstation#82449 because this removes the machine's ability to make infinite chems.
Basically in tgstation/tgstation#29139 they removed medipen's ability to have reagents injected into them, but never removed the ability to take reagents out.
You could take a syringe, remove all chemicals from a medipen, put the main ingredient in a medipen refiller, then refill. You could do this right now on live servers with an epipen for infinite formaldehyde.

This doesn't affect the hypospray.

Why It's Good For The Game

Removes a way of infinitely making reagents with a medipen refiller and also removes a dumb mechanic.
You could take all chemicals out of an EHMS autoinjector, which removes the visual and feedback tell to the target that they've been injected, and even with 0 chemicals they get the disease anyways.
You could buy medipens as a miner, take the chemicals out, and put them in a syringe or pill that you can inject yourself instantly with.
You can take otherwise hard-to-get chemicals like fungal TB's 2-use cure injector, and make 40 cure pills instead.

Changelog
