Psionic Power Feedback Messages

[VMSolidus]

Description

This PR implements the previously planned feature whereby obtaining a Psionic Power plays some form of notification to alert the player that they have gained a new ability. Since some Psionics like Xenoglossy are purely passive, it's very important to give an indication to players what's going on. To that end, PsionicPowerPrototype has been expanded to include new datafields related to Initialization Feedback. There are now three kinds of feedback messages: Popup, Feedback, and Metapsionic.

All feedback will only play for powers obtained during the round, rather than for entities that innately start with powers.

• Popups will appear over your character's head as a small, brief message. These should be no more than a sentence at most.
• Feedback will appear in the Chat window as a message only visible to the Psion themself. These can be as much as a paragraph in length.
• Metapsionic messages are coming in their own separate PR: Psi-Potentiometry Power #774

In a separate PR, I also wish to add Audio feedback as well.

Media

I apologize that the video has been bitcrunched to a point that the chat window can't be read.

What's the use case for displaying a message in chat but not over your head, excluding situations where you use both

Make this something that contrasts better with chat

[VMSolidus]

I'll take it one more step up the chain. That should be good. :)

Oh damnit I hit the wrong button.

Who could have forseen these unfortunate circumstances?
