Fix jailbird-security interaction

Honestly the lazy route seems like the best route here, because sure it can be fun, rarely, however most of the time ive seen it is unfun. And if something is overall unfun then yeah it isnt grand.

why is it unintuitive? it's a simple association thing. I rarely see newsec stop folks with the paroled symbol. an orange/green J would break the association that people place with the bright red exclamation mark. I think people will ask what it means and get told by experienced sec that it's something better off ignored.

Compare it to the red !, most frequently seen on top of a wizard/traitor/ling getting the snot batoned out of them.

Deleting jailbird from the game also deletes it from RP, where it's often used positively. It also deletes the interaction of being beat on by beepsky, which some people might want as a challenge and not know how to aggro him otherwise.
