Disable Xeno tackle while they are resting

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Same as the title. Disable xeno's actions when they are in rest, just like humans. The salt this caused me was real. Literally about to kick some hive ass when a young runner tackles me first time while IN REST.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): It just makes sense.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Xeno rests. Xeno can't do anything while in rest.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): Coding.

-1 xenos should be able to take on a human while asleep.

I've seen it happen numerous times where a young runner rests ontop of a nest and is still able to tackle you regardless.

On the suggestion itself, +1

If I were to explain it as a bug:

1. Be any xeno.
2. Use the 'rest' function in the IC tab.
3. Be on disarm intent and click an unsuspecting and escaping marine.
4. Laugh as you tackle them first time as a young runner while resting.

As far as I know, 'resting' doesn't carry any benefits to the xeno so it's not exactly beneficial bug abuse. Unless it prevents bullets hitting them without being targetted directly on their sprite? Otherwise it's just a sprite change so they're lying down.

You're not supposed to be able to move in rest position.

Disable everyone from doing shit on the ground. I'll test this though.

Xenos intentionally are able to tackle/slash while stunned, I think it carries over to resting
