Antag eligibility for roles need to be better communicated. #30678

Description

There is no in-game information about whether a "learning role" can become an antagonist in the game. There should be proper communication about these things so players can make a well informed decision on what they want to que up as.

I think this needs a couple things.

One is a mechanical way for antags to be categorized. @Errant-4 was talking about doing this, so I'll let them explain more, but my understanding is it would allow different roles to have the different antag-levels stored somewhere sensible on them. i.e. Team Antag, Solo Antag, Free Agent, etc.
Better integration of the character/objectives panel so that you dont have to be a traitor or whatever to have objectives, and probably also to remove a bunch of the chat clutter that gets sent along with roles and is then almost impossible to reference afterwards.

Antag eligibility cannot be confidently determined based on just the antag "type" - for example Nukies and Head Revs are both Team Antagonist, yet only Nukies are available to Sec and Command
