Short description

I reverted all of the firelock changes. I hope I grabbed all the changes done to them.

I also brought in this change from wizden https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/pull/37523

And I made it so that firelocks can only be opened with crowbars now.

Why we need to add this

Copy pasted from a discord forum post:

Before we had a nice system where you'd have a doafter with a crowbar, which let non engineers open it just like the current firelocks. And the firelocks have lights for pressure and temperature that weren't obscured by the bolt, and there was a system for 'are you sure this is a good idea' when crowbaring it open.

also, bolting firelocks with the firelock remote was an easy way to make an area atmos only until fixed

this is all gone now. The bolts don't add anything but frustration for non engineering, cause problems, and solve nothing. They effectively disabled a feature that is used to help with fire control.

the firelocks already automatically closed. having an automatic bolt doesn't add anything but make them require a different tool to open, which is less clear and less safe than when they required a crowbar.

remove the unbolting panel, kill auto bolting, and the bring back the fire remotes!
