[MERGED PR] Swap out spy thief flash for a special spy camera

[BALANCE][FEATURE]

About the PR
Swaps the flash a spy thief starts with for a special type of camera with a built in flash.
The camera flash gives 8 flashes before needing to recharge, taking about two minutes to go from 0-100%. It uses a self recharging cell that cannot be replaced/removed or inserted into a recharger.
In flash mode the camera has a modified sprite with flash animation by Gannets.
Renames obj/item/camera_test to obj/item/camera because it's hardly a test at this point. This causes the map changes.
Deletes:
/maps/unused/cogmap_new_walls_xmas_2017.dmm
/maps/unused/cogmap_xmas_2018.dmm
Because both of these fail to convert with the mapmerge tool.

Why's this needed?
Spies spawn with a flash. If you aren't a detective or a head this is a dead giveaway that you are a spy or at best have hacked a secvend. This camera replaces the flash and can be used to change it's mode between photo and flash.
The number of cameras in public areas can be limited and there are up to 5 spies. Did you know Donut3 only has two cameras?
This doesn't have AOE which may or may not be significant. Could possibly add it as a special attack in flash mode?
