Mind Expansion/Shared Consciousness [New Path Symptom]

[Noah Buttes]

What this patch does:

1. Adds two new event handlers to pathology, oninfect and oncure.
   
2. Oninfect triggers when an individual is infected.
   
3. Oncure triggers when an individual is cured.
   
4. This means you can now have a sort of initialization phase for your pathogen's symptom along with a cleanup step for when the host is no longer infected.
   
5. I leveraged these new event handlers to create a new symptom that links the minds of all hosts infected with it into a shared consciousness. One might even call it a hive-mind.
   
6. It basically works exactly the same way as the psychic link bracelets you can find in heavily reinforced research crates except with more than two people at a time.
   
7. Note that there is one pool of expanded minds at any given time. Even if you have the same symptom multiple times as a result of harboring multiple disease strains, you will only ever have one entry in that one pool.
   
8. You are removed from the pool on death or once all symptomatic pathogens possessing the mind expansion symptom leave your body.
   
9. The mind expansion symptom also functions as a powerful brain damage healer, with brain damage being healed every disease_act() and scaling based on disease stage.
