helping people is stupid you should just disarm or harm them (or grab)

Help intents is so powegaming. Like, you can pick someone up and skip stun times or slip times. And you can give people a mood boost. I agree, it should be removed. Harm intent is so much better and balanced

## About The Pull Request This PR removes intents and replaces them with a co…mbat mode. An explanation of what this means can be found below ### Major changes: - Disarm and Grab intents have been removed. - Harm/Help is now combat mode, toggled by F or 4 by default - The context/verb/popup menu now only works when you do shift+right-click - Right click is now disarm, both in and out of combat mode. - Grabbing is now on ctrl-click. - If you're in combat mode, and are currently grabbing/pulling someone, and ctrl-click somewhere else, it will not release the grab (To prevent misclicks) ### Minor interaction changes: Right click to dissasemble tables, racks, filing cabinets (When holding the right tool to do so) Left click to stunbaton, right click to harmbaton Right click to tip cows Right click to malpractice surgery Right click to hold people at gunpoint (if youre holding a gun) ## Why It's Good For The Game Intents heavily cripple both the code and the UI design of interactions. While I understand that a lot of people will dislike this PR as they are used to intents, they are one of our weakest links in terms of explaining to players how to do specific things, and require a lot more keypresses to do compared to this. As an example, martial arts can now be done without having to juggle 1 2 3 and 4 to switch intents quickly. As some of you who saw the first combat mode PR, the context menu used to be disabled in combat mode. In this version it is instead on shift-right click ensuring that you can always use it in the same way. In this version, combat mode also no longer prevents you from attacking with items when you would so before, as this was something that was commonly complained about. The full intention of this shift in control scheme is that right click will become "secondary interaction" for items, which prevents some of the awkward juggling we have now with item modes etcetera. ## Changelog :cl: Qustinnus add: Intents have been replaced with a combat mode.
