Reduce chem smoke logging spam (#6345)

# About the pull request

Smoke reactions are now a niche admin log, and somewhat spam reduced by
storing the last event in a static var. The reason why I say somewhat is
because say two different people spray at the same time the last event
will swap between both people each cloud. Now the hour/minute, area,
chem, and user are used to create a siganture.

# Explain why it's good for the game

Chem smoke is now commonly used in rounds so its better to keep
information sent to admins more relevant rather than spammed.

# Testing Photographs and Procedure

Second log was after a minute elapsed (which makes the signature unique
again)
