This patch adds group messaging functionality to PDAs. It changes a PDA's assigned mailgroups to a list to let you join multiple mailgroups. Starting job mailgroups like command and security can't be left or joined, but you can use the "Create/join group" and "Leave group" buttons to manage any other mail groups, allowing for players to have simple PDA group texting. Every PDA will also start connected to a leaveable "Party Line" group that allows mass texting the station easily.
I've also added a quality of life improvement to group text responses - if you get a PDA message addressed to a group, the from line will contain not only a link to respond to the sender directly but also a link to send a response to the group.
