IPC's, Vaurca, and Diona made able to sleep while standing up, and sleep toggle

[Colfer]

This suggestion is asking for all IPC chassis's, diona, and Vaurca to be able to initiate sleeping but stay standing if they are not already resting, as well as making sleep able to be toggled on and off for these species, where toggled sleep will prevent you from waking up, even if someone is shaking you or you take damage. You have to use the sleep verb again to wake up.

What does this hope to accomplish?: More interesting dynamics for these species, IPC's realistically could have some sort of subroutine to lock up and become a statue if they arent needed in the  moment or feel threatened, Diona could have some sort of catatonic introspection state, where they are oblivious to their outside surroundings in a sleep like state, and Vaurca state in their lore and some item descriptions that they sleep while standing (As far as I remember atleast) (These are not mechanical, and just justifications for these species using the sleep verb to sleep while standing)

Sleeping in this manner, ideally, shares the same behaviors that it does with mobs and things that regular sleeping does, where mobs won't attack the character because they are unconscious and the like, with the downside that you will still catch projectiles that come your way. 

Other notes and complete spitballing:
It could be interesting in the lore if there was a mind caste for diona that is known for entering introspective, statue like states on a regular basis, and only snap out of it under certain conditions, or for a certain new brand or submodel of IPC (Like hazels) to have lore that states something like; "Due to [some hostile condition prompted by pirates] in [the location they are manufactured], these units are programmed with an anti-tamper and anti-damage mode where their components and all processes lock up until restarted, while easy to steal in this state, they are generally recovered by law enforcement unharmed" (This is just spitballing, I do not have any bigger picture for this lore, its purely for speculative and idea generating purposes)

The text for sleeping could type to chat something like; "[name] becomes unnaturally stiff, and their gaze trails for miles, no longer responsive to the world." and "[name] abruptly re-animates, and returns to motion." when waking up

Bumping this because I think its neat and I would be happy to code it. Not sure if this needs lore approval for any of it though.
