Adds a Coroner job to the game, they work in the Medical department and have their office in the Morgue.
I was inspired to make this after I had played my first round on Paradise and messed around in there. The analyzer is copied from there (ParadiseSS13/Paradise#20957), and their jumpsuit is also mostly stolen from it (i just copied the color scheme onto our own suits).
Coroners can perform autopsies on people to see their stats, like this
They have access to Medbay, and on lowpop will get Pharmacy (to make their own formaldehyde). They also have their own Secure Morgue access for their office (doubles as a surgery room because they are edgelords or whatever) and the secure morgue trays.
Secure Morgue trays spawn with their beepers off and is only accessible by them, the CMO, and HoS. It's used to morgue Antagonists. Security's own morgue trays have been removed.

Surgery changes
Autopsies are a Surgery, and I tried to intertwine this with the Dissection surgery.
Dissections and Autopsies both require the Autopsy scanner to perform them, however you can only perform one on any given body. Dissections are for experiments, Autopsies is for the paper of information.
Dissected bodies now also give a ~20% surgery speed boost, this was added at the request of Fikou as a way to encourage Doctors to let the Coroner do their job before reviving a body.
I also remember the Medical skill, which allowed Doctors to do surgery faster on people, and I hope that this can do something like that WITHOUT adding the potential for exploiting, which led to the skill's downfall.
Morgue Improvements
Morgue trays are no longer named with pens, they instead will steal the name of the last bodybag to be put in them.
Morgue trays are also removed from Brig Medical areas and Robotics, now they have to bring their corpses to the Morgue where the Coroner can keep track and ensure records are properly updated.

Why It's Good For The Game

qol: Morgue Trays are now named after the bodybags inside of them.
balance: The morgue now has 'Secure' morgue trays which by default don't beep.
