Xenomorph Endgame changes

[Git-Nivrak]

About the pull request

1. Added a preference for being chosen as King, under special role candidacy. You will no longer be prompted on whether you'd like to be King or not.
2. The King hatchery now spawns around the hive core (make sure you have enough space!), Destroying a pylon will now only pause the timer, in order to fully reset it you will have to destroy the hatchery itself.
3. Replaced the armor hive buffs with two new hive buffs: Boon of fire resistance - Makes all xenomorph immune to being ignited (you still take damage walking over fire), Boon of adaptability - Grants all xenomorphs a new ability "Transmute" (will appear under aliens tab) which allows them to change to a different caste of the same tier.

Explain why it's good for the game

Makes it more in-line with nuke, should reduce cat and mouse and actually end the round faster

Replacing the pure stat hive buffs has been a goal for me for a while, Will have to see how these new buffs perform and adjust accordingly

Changelog

🆑
qol: Added a preference on whether you would like to be chosen as King or not, you will no longer receive a prompt asking you for that. This can be toggled under "special role candidacy"
balance: The King hatchery now spawns around the hive core. Destroying pylons will no longer destroy the hatchery but will instead pause its progress. To fully reset the progress you must destroy the hatchery itself.
add: Replaced the armor hive buffs with two new hive buffs: Buff of Fire Resistance - Makes all xenomorph immune to being ignited by fire. Buff of Adaptability - Gives all xenomorph a new verb under the alien tab named "Transmute" which will allow them to change to a different caste of the same tier.

while you are at it if you can somehow make it so you can revert a strain if you have more than 100 evo it would be pretty neat
( not as a boon but as a normal thing)

I don't have any more time right now to test in game to see if there's anything else.
