Reduce frequency of extended rounds
About the PR
This might be a controversial PR and I understand if it gets rejected, but right now I feel like extended shows up way too much in rounds. The whole novelty of the gamemode in SS13 was that it was a rare break from the chaos that happens every round, but it shows up so often that it just devolves into selfantag shittery once nothing exciting happens. This change isn't intended to be permament, mostly just a bandaid fix until mirror adds that Survival mode he's working on.

- add: Extended is now less likely to appear as a gamemode.
If this is to reduce the frequency of extended on mid-low pop secret Salamander rounds, how about making Secret reroll instead of the "Failed to start gamemode!" message?

I was thinking more of the LRP shitters who start selfantagging when they realize its Extended, but I can see if I can do this with another PR

Also, if I just forced a reroll again, wouldn't that mean it would be possible to create an infinite reroll loop if there isn't enough players for any gamemode?

Maybe pick from a list of gamemodes, pop one, if it's too much then pop again? Not sure how to explain this but it'd look something like this in Python
modes = ['extended', 'nukeops', 'traitor', 'zombies']
selected_mode = None
while selected_mode == None:
# .pop() removes it from the modes list so it cant be picked again
chosen_mode = modes[random()].pop()
if validated(chosen_mode):
selected_mode = chosen_mode
