Ghost rulesets

Rulesets which select an observer/ghost player to play as a new character

Implementation notes:

• prepare_role will handle making the body for the mob for you. Avoid touching it if not necessary.
• create_ruleset_body is what makes the new /mob for the candidate. It handles putting the player in the body for you. You can override it entirely for to spawn a different mob type. You can also override it to spawn nothing, if you're doing special handling in assign_role, but you'll have to handle moving the player yourself.
• assign_role is what gives the player their antag datum.
