Replace Robotics Dome Operating Table with Bioprinter (LVL-624) (#3969)

# About the pull request

As name says, robotics dome LVL-624 will have it's operating table
removed and replaced with bioprinter.

# Explain why it's good for the game

Operating Tables are one of the most powerful objects in the game. The
reason is simple: larva removal. They are the only way to get it
removed, and as such, securing a area WITH a operating table ends up as
a worthwhile side-objective for marines.

However, with LVL-624, it's robotics dome ALSO has a operating table.
This becomes problematic for the following reasons:

- It is VERY VERY VERY close to LZ2, making LZ2 by far the usual best
option in a large part due to this, as robotics dome can easily be
fortified by expanding the FOB.
- Due to above nature, xenos cannot reliably try to contest this area
compared to other ares in LVL (medical dome) or other maps (Big red:
medbay)
- Combination of both these factors makes robotics dome, and by
extension lz2, extremely powerful, as the ability to have shipside
quality surgery at FOB greatly shortens the time a marine can be 'out of
action'.

Overall, I feel that replacing this operating table with a bioprinter
fits the spirit of robotics, while still giving a advantage to securing
that area, that being a nearby source of prosthetics.
