About the PR

Removed death acidifier from being automatically implanted from Ninja at spawn.
Put an implanter for the death acidifier in the Ninja's hand at spawn.
I also removed the upcoming change from upstream that would make the Ninja's appearance randomized. And same for Nukies/LoneOp.

Why / Balance

Reducing unwanted round-removal. Sec has a tendency to continue damaging a hostile even after they're Crit. When this happens to the Ninja, the acidifier causes them to gib upon becoming Dead. Or maybe the Ninja got unlucky and had an allergic reaction, or maybe it just simply died to something silly and unavoidable. Whatever the case, if the Ninja dies, it gets instantly round-removed.
Many people dislike this for multiple reasons. Perhaps they were a friendly ninja that was murdered by an overzealous officer (this has happened to me). Perhaps they want to continue their RP, even after being critted/killed and arrested. Whatever the reason, I think the RP is better when you're not forced to be round-removed.

Some people do want to use the death acidifier though, so I made it so an implanter for it should spawn in the Ninja's hand.

Now, it's your choice on whether you want to be round-removed or not.

Also, an upstream merge was going to cause the Ninja's appearance to become randomized, so I commented that out.
We have a number of people who do recurring Ninja characters, and that would've basically eliminated them.
Same thing for Nukies/LoneOp.

Technical details

Just some simple yml changes.
