Removed automatic paper printout from virus analyzer.

Rob Nelson requested to merge pull/12862/despotate-printout-remove into Bleeding-Edge

Created by: despotate

No one cares about virology so I might as well be honest and say I'm doing this for my own convenience. Why?

  • Printout information is redundant. You can just examine the virus dish directly and it provides the same information.
  • There's a manual "print" button in the machine anyway. Use that if you really like paper.
  • The printouts get spit out all over the tile and clutter up the top of the machine if you let them pile up. Makes it hard to stuff the next dish in if you work fast.
  • It's inconvenient to constantly have to flush them down disposals, especially on non-Box maps that have disposals far away from the analyzer. Virology is really cluttered as it is; a single person has to deal with monkeys, beakers, vials, syringes, radium, antitoxin, virus food, blood, infected blood, virus dishes, four machines, two scanners, etc., and getting rid of paper would make the virologists' job just a touch less intimidating.

Fixes https://github.com/d3athrow/vgstation13/issues/11673, which had no comments and a single upvote (that means the gods assent to merging this ASAP). While this doesn't add a toggle, the option to manually print has always been there, so it's essentially the same thing.
