Prospective patch notes

This patch will include audiovisual improvements and mild balance adjustments.

Internals:
- CPU throttling is now disabled, as it offers no benefit to modern CPUs (c. Veeq7)

Omnipresence:
- Now limited to two races, from three, based on player selection
- Terran adds Protoss, Protoss adds Zerg, Zerg adds Terran
- Can be overridden in scenarios using new crig action set_omnipresence_state
The Turning:
- Fixed order limit being reached by zombies

Stability:
- Prospectively fixed a rare nullsprite crash (r. The Shambler)
Gameplay:
- Analogue Empathy Core now properly takes into account actual damage dealt (e.g. splash, Clarion Phase Link) when reflecting projectiles
- Removed detector flag from Axtoth Axis (r. TheBeaver99)
Audiovisual:
- Savants now correctly play their weaponfire SFX when attacking while garrisoned
- Losing a structure with an addon still attached no longer plays the "abandon addon" advisor event (r. TheBeaver99)
- Fixed advisor events not playing for structure warp completion if your race was not Protoss, and addon completion if your race was not Terran (r. TheBeaver99)
- Corrected Vagrant Shade portrait (r. TheBeaver99)

Revised graphics for:
- Kalkalisk (c. Solstice; cocoon birth animation not yet implemented)
Added unit responses for:
- Empress (c. M & Chumbeque)
Added birth animations for:
- Protathalor, Tethzorokor, Gorgrokor, Vilgorokor
Added SFX for:
- Terran addon self-construction
- Madcaps reaching full stacks of Cabeirus Feeders
- Cikralisk weaponfire
Updated icons for:
- Terran supreme construction; All Protoss constructions (c. TheBeaver99)

Hachirosk, Caphrolosk, and Gathtelosk:
- Collision size normalized with other town centers
- This is primarily to avoid poor resource returns that only impact some races, but also allows Zerg to potentially create walls where they couldn't previously.
