Summary	0002862: Doors no longer need to send visual stims if they aren't marked shouldBeClosed
Description	Doors that aren't marked shouldBeClosed have no need to send stims to passing AI. Allowing doors to do so can create situations where a door in low light conditions is never 'seen' by AI who aren't using it, so the AI are never given a chance to shut off the stim, so the stim endlessly pings them. Since determining whether an AI can 'see' a pinging door involves LOS, FOV, and illumination calculations. Doing all that and then in the end finding that the AI doesn't care if the door's open or closed, seems a waste.
Additional Information	Doors were sending stims for two reasons: 1 - to alert AI that a shouldBeClosed door was open, and 2 - that a locked door an AI had been unable to unlock was now open (and passable). The second reason is now satisfied by new code that was added in 1.05 to solve issue 0001145. This leaves the first reason, so doors NOT marked shouldBeClosed should no longer need to send visual stims.
