Add conjunctivitis from boomer bile

Summary

Features "Add conjunctivitis from boomer bile"

Purpose of change

Reimplementation of a piece of #69555 by @fairyarmadillo.

Currently you can tank gallons of zombie bile directly to your eyes with no lasting effects.

Describe the solution

Now tanking gallons of zombie bile can inflame your eyes (conjunctivitis, AKA pink eye).

A few notes on the effect:

  • The chance of getting conjunctivitis is based on eye coverage, with 100% coverage granting immunity.
  • The duration is 2-5 days, with the random potion being reduced by coverage.
  • Eyedrops can reduce the duration to 2 days, to reflect the contaminant being washed out.
  • Poison resistance and immunity, as well as a few other mutations, can help against the effect.
  • The effect causes occasional itching and stinging/watering (smoke_eyes).

Describe alternatives you've considered

Make boomer bile injectable as a low-cost alternative to heroin.

Testing

I took a bunch of bile to the face until I caught a case of the pink, and then I used the wait function to verify that it was adding occasional additional suffering.

Additional context

None.
