Alerte á la Machinist rework: Adds additional corps (Zavod/Zeng), makes Machinist a civilian role

[FearTheGabby]

Summary: This PR redefines the Machinist as a "civilian" role, removing it from Operations for a particular purpose: Allowing more megacorporations to take the role without diluting the department-megacorp connection currently in place. There's been a lot of past discussion about what department Machinist is meant to fit into, and I decided to use a similar format to the one that the Corporate Reporter now goes by to hopefully satisfy those who don't feel it belongs in Operations as well as those who felt that some megacorporations who did robotics were left out of the fold.

The Machinist now gets the medical-research headset as well, both to communicate with Medical about patients who are synthetic or who have cybernetics, and to communicate with Research about R&D progress or other necessities. This does not make them part of either department, nor does it mean they have the relevant access.

I am happy to put up a feedback thread on the forums if needed, and to cooperate with maintainers as-needed if the PR is accepted in part or in full. Thank you.

Honestly? This might be the best option to include all four robotics/cybernetics companies. The job role is just too diverse to be limited to one department - cybernetics are firmly in the realm of medical and science, IPCs kind of flirt with engineering and science, while mechs are a bit more of a pure engineering-esque role, so it's kind of a mess all around, and I think this is the best way to do it

Something that would need clarification - do they have an immediate Head of Staff supervising them? Since they're under the Civilian branch, will that be the Executive Officer, or will it be fully like the reporter where they fall under the purview of their parent corporation and have strict privileges/rules on station? If the latter, I'd imagine there's also need for CCIA approval on this?

MD as this would need evaluation from both lore and CCIA perspective of how this would even function in such a scenario

Unfortunately, I cannot accept this PR. Reasons:

• The machinist doesn't really fit in the civilian department -- by nature, it's a department that doesn't have any designated leader, much less any sort of real responsibilities, so it's thematically unfitting.
• It being in the civilian department while having a medsci radio is very inconsistent.
• We don't particularly want to bring back double radios because they cause a lot of confusion over who should listen to who (this is the reason why all non-head of staff roles have only one radio).
• It is intentional that every department barring exceptions like liaison/reporter has two or three corps at most.

I do think machinist needs a lot of changes and the state of the role isn't satisfying to me, but this is the part where we have to realize that we're working with constraints placed on us by the setting.
