Skubman 0db014ecd1 Plasmaman Damage Resist and Density Changes (#1769)
# Description

Plasmamen receive these changes:

- Density reduced by 13.5% (185 to 160)
- Reference: Human density = 185, Felinid density = 140, Skeleton
density = 130.
- Slash resist increased from 15% to 20%, Piercing resist increased from
25% to 40%
- Reference: Skeletons take 10% more Blunt, 20% less Slash, 40% less
Piercing damage.
- Upon being gibbed or ashed, spew out plasma everywhere
  - Not in changelog to catch players by surprise :trollface:
- Reduce price of extinguisher refill in Loadouts to 5 points to 4
points.

## Why / Balance

Plasmamen are "just" skeletons, so it makes sense that they'd be lighter
than average. But not Felinid-levels of light, because that's not really
the selling point of Plasmamen and would increase their difficulty in an
unintended direction. Why they'd be heavier than Felinids and Skeletons
can be explained by the plasma in their body having a lot of weight.

To compensate, they will get 20% Slash and 40% Piercing resist. For
comparison, Slime People have a 40% resistance to Blunt, a more common
damage type than Piercing. This will give Plasmamen a niche of being
excellent against spears and ballistic weapons especially with
additional armor, while still being vulnerable to Space Wind throwing
Blunt weapons and opponents closing in on them with a Blunt weapon.

## Changelog

🆑 Skubman
- tweak: Plasmamen now have a slightly lower density and thus lower
weight than the average species (this is a nerf).
- tweak: Plasmamen have their Slash resist increased from 15% to 20%,
and their Piercing resist increased from 25% to 40% (this is a buff).
- tweak: The cost of the envirosuit extinguisher refill in Loadouts has
