Title: Uniforms now fit differently on women than men

These changes are made to reflect the differences between the male and female character sprites. This pull exists mainly to delineate women and men more clearly since I've seen a lot of female crew members getting called dudes all the time.

This is accomplished by a special uniform, "female", that removes the few pixels that don't exist on the female sprite but do on the male sprite (on which all clothing is modeled). The net effect is subtle, but effective. Women actually look like women now, as opposed to dudes with a near imperceptible blush.

Besides "female" there are no new sprites in this pull, all "female versions" are generated by taking the default outfit and removing those pixels. These pixels don't reveal skin, they're literally just covering void.

To keep certain unique outfits from looking weird with this, a blacklist var for the effect has been created in "fitted", which tracks if an outfit looks like a standard jumpsuit and defaults to 1.

This effect only changes uniforms. Some exosuits can still hide these details very well through there coverage.
