About the PR

This PR gives the HoS a variant of the sec implant that prevents them from being mindslaved while it is inside them. (job code doesn't support multiple starting implants)

As of yet this doesn't affect mindslave cloners yet, I'm not sure what the nicest way of going about that is. Mindslave cloners are pretty rare and much more involved than a hit-and-run with an implanter, so maybe HoS is fair game for someone putting in that amount of effort.

Why's this needed?

Not having HoS rights I can't speak from experience, but the main server(s) apparently have the issue that HoSses burn out on the role after a while. One of the stated reasons is frequent mindslaving, sometimes several rounds in succession. Someone suggested this a day or two ago on discord and I thought it'd be a nice way to help alleviate the problem.

This PR is intended to provoke discussion. I figure this might be a controversial change.

Changelog

(u)BatElite:
(*)The Head of Security's health implant now prevents mindslaving while it is inside them. Traitors will have to put in some more effort to get one on their side. The mindslave implant is not consumed if the implant fails.

The mindslave item is a traitor item. If NanoTrasen had a technology to make people immune to mindslave implants they would grant that to every Head role.

Nonetheless - I think if someone buys a mindslave module for a not so cheap price they should be able to convert whoever person they see fit.

I sincerely do not agree with this change.
