Swing combat Plus

[FalloutFalcon]

About The Pull Request

Fairly heavy rework of #142, putting a focus on making it a little more configarble and the code less snowflaky

Combat now has 3 options

1. No ranged swings (present gameplay)
2. Directional attacks (only a 1 tile check based on click) (which is a port of Directional attacks 2, probably better implementation edition tgstation/TerraGov-Marine-Corps#15089)

3. Swing attacks (3 tile sweep with an associated visual, which also means we whiff punish to not have the animation spammed. some differences in target choice)

Why It's Good For The Game

Swing combat is primarily an accessibility thing that helps level the playing field on actually landing attacks compared to ranged.

As for why its config?
Both methods have some associated tradeoffs so I want to be able to experiment easily.
