About the pull request

Facehuggers (and other ghost roles? (#3939))[this functionality will have to be added in said PR] now bypass the five minute time of death check, letting them join as a larva via queue or.. join as larva button.

Explain why it's good for the game

With infection timer at 7.5 minutes, this means that after you die as facehugger, a large portion of the infection time is spent as unjoinable, which isnt a problem for a host YOU infected, but for others, you would get skipped over due to time of death. This allows for more leniency when playing as low-survivablity ghost roles.

Code added can also be expanded, I am sure the new variable can fit in other places.

Changelog

🆑
add: Facehuggers now bypass time of death checks when being considered for larva.
code: new variable for observers to handle bypass of time of death checks
