Minor generic zombie balance edits 4

[Karol1223]

Summary

None

Purpose of change

Weirdness caught during the creation of #72534 that I was advised to PR separately for the ease of reviewing

Describe the solution

• lowered scientist speed, day vision and upgrade frequency to match baseline zombies
• took away the dodge from scientists, marines and soldiers
• removed scientist's improved pathing
• swapped the scientist's melee and specials to be the same as default zombies
• took away the security guard's reduced vision range since they don't appear to have helmet weakpoints
• buffed security guard, soldier and marine grab strength to match tough zombies
• edited security guard's specials to match tough zombies
• took away armored zombie's nose
• took away ACIDPROOF from bio-op, and reduced their vision to default values
• removed special pathing from zombie runners so they don't avoid danger

Describe alternatives you've considered

• give milbase personnel back their ears - they were accidentally removed during the Military Pilot Deafening of 2024 - but this is copy-from shenanigans so I'll take care of it in Connect zombies via copy-from - Part 2 #72534

Testing

Additional context

[Karol1223]

So I just fucked up the DPS tests, because instead of using a custom monster it used our soldiers - meaning they're untouchable unless you're willing to edit the tests. I need an adult.

It's not something I feel strongly on, but the variation in a lot of these zombies is meant to capture that basic zombies aren't actually uniform... They have some variation in abilities and stats that our monster system doesn't represent too well, so in the olden days we made various of the base zombies have slightly different capabilities. Particularly the scientists are examples of that.

I agree that zombies should not all be identical, but I disagree with it being done via different zombie "job-types". Instead of highlighting individual variation, this just makes it look like they are different because they're scientists, and that's just weird.

I could be persuaded to take back the changes to speed and melee stats (not special attacks though - them not biting just makes no sense), but most other things just don't make that much sense to have different. Especially dodge. It feels like dodge used to be spread around really eagerly when all shambling corpses should equally suck at it until they start evolving not to suck at it.
