Short description

Cherry pick of https://github.com/ProjectOmu/OmuStation/pull/1438

Wag wag wag

Why we need to add this

Having a button for wagging the tail is pawsome

Technical details

Renamed and disabled all of the animated states and added the wagging component to the all the base mobs.

Additionally, I've updated the wagging system to only show the button when the equipped tail has a wagging animation.

I don't think this needs to give a warning, feels like bloating logs in my opinion. Some species (humans) can have multiple tails and they are not required to be animated. So this should be expected and normal.

This if branch is only reached when they're already wagging (Note the wagging.Wagging = !wagging.Wagging; assignment before the loop). This means the revert fails to the non animated version, not when a human or whoever doesn't have a wagging animation for the specified marking.

This method is basically 1:1 copied from the upstream wizden wagging system:

Transition to wagging can fail as well.
Try a human character with Demon Tail 1 and Vulpkanin (Animated) markings.

[WARN] system.toggleable_wagging: Alyson Parkinson (165007/n165007, MobHuman, localhost@JoeGenero) tried toggling wagging but DemomTail1Animated marking doesn't exist
[WARN] system.toggleable_wagging: Unable to revert wagging for DemomTail1

It's nice for debugging, but I don't think it's important enough to be in production. This can be left as is I guess.
