Summary0025922: Reintroduce beacon factions, but in a new way.
DescriptionBeacon faction design:

1. No factions are marked as "beacon factions," that's not a thing. PlayerDiscoverable, etc, to be removed.

2. Instead, we have a variety of beacon objects that are seeded by tag. These are all part of the NaturalObject faction.

3. Each of these has a specific hack that players can do against it. This hack is all xml-defined beyond the first one, so setting up a new faction is just xml.

4. Add a new set of sub-data under the faction object, which includes data on how the faction would be configured. This includes custom settings, difficulty levels, allegiance, and whatever else. These each have display-names and descriptions that explain what they are in however much or little detail we want (somewhere in the middle is probably ideal).

5. When hacking one of these beacons, they are linked to a single faction based on their hack, and it shows a list of options with the appropriate descriptions to get the various styles of that faction that you might want.

6. Xml-oriented folks can add more of these pieces of data, hopefully, and for more factions as well.


Note to self, in code look for //BEACON_TODO all over the place.
