Make Drying Racks Not Rely On Power.

[Aligote]

This has been discussed before and I am primarily motivated for the same reason. I'd like ashwalkers to be able to make leather for things like goliath cloaks. I was able to make drying racks work on lavaland by changing

/obj/machinery/smartfridge/drying_rack/power_change()
    if(has_power() && anchored)
        stat &= ~NOPOWER
    else
        stat |= NOPOWER
        toggle_drying(TRUE)
    update_icon(UPDATE_OVERLAYS)

to just

Spoiler

/obj/machinery/smartfridge/drying_rack/power_change()
    if(anchored)
        stat &= ~NOPOWER

along with changing the power consumptions to 0.

I dont know which change is the primary reason it works, but it works. There was the implied assumption that the PR would be looked into, and I guess it just never was. But now the work is mostly done, we can have a drying rack that doesnt need power and allow ashwalker to produce leather as a result. I'd love to see the drip :)

A la Cunningham's Law, here ya go.

There should be a variable on `/obj/machinery` that's called `requires_power`. You should set this to `FALSE` on the drying rack, and then remove any code on the drying rack that checks for it needing power, and after that, making sure it will always work!

I couldn't find that solution referenced from the previous PR, unfortunately.

Swapped for this solution.
