Tidies up grenades.
What Does This PR Do
All grenades with a modifiable timer now tell you that you can use a screwdriver to modify it.
You cannot modify the fuze length of any grenade that doesn't show you how long the fuze delay is. This only affects IEDs and smoke bombs, which are not intended to be modifiable anyway.
(not player facing) All grenade times are now labelled explicitly in SECONDS and DECISECONDS.
Gives the flashbang, viscerator, and space carp grenades a description explaining what they contain.
Modifies the smoke bomb's description to explain what it does. The fuze's time is now shown in the examine() proc, which also tells you that you cannot modify the fuze.
Both instances of "Syndicate" in the minibomb description are now capitalised, and the description is slightly tweaked.
Slightly modifies the IED's description and examine(), but the core meaning remains unchanged.
Uncontracts the name of the fragmentation grenade and gives it a more informative description, autodocs it.
Gives the flashbang grenade a more informative description and autodocs it.
The EMP grenade now explicitly tells you it works on implants.
Clusterbangs now go out of their way to tell you that bomblets do exist. It's a cool word, we must use it whenever possible.
The mega clusterbang and mega minibomb now have descriptions.
Why It's Good For The Game
More informative grenade descriptions good.
Game actually telling you you can do something is good. Defining things in seconds good.
Testing
Tossed many grenades to see they didn't somehow break. Screwdrivered grenades. Examined them. All was good.
Changelog
:cl: tweak: Tweaked the descriptions and names of many grenades. New examine() text for grenades. tweak: You cannot screwdriver grenades that don't show you their fuze length. /:cl:
Fragments is much less descriptive than shrapnel. I don't like it.
Fragments is much less descriptive than shrapnel. I don't like it.
Fragments are in fact more correct. They refer to bits of an exploded thing (fragments of a thing, if you will).
Shrapnel are entire premade, discrete pieces that are launched whole by an explosive without any fragmentation occurring.
Because these are superficially similar, the two terms are very often confused.

Please document and explain your pull requests thoroughly. What each commit changes and why. We do not want to have to read all of your commit names to figure out what your pull request is about.
If you are adding, removing, or changing things your PR description should of a proper list of changes. In example with this PR, we should not have to hunt down the changes in the commits to find what descriptions are being added to items or changed.
