Explain why it's good for the game

Players now have visual display of time of active ability, previously it relied mostly on "gut" feeling making it very bad in some situations, best example i could give is, witnessing people missing their "For The Hive" timing, because of my previous poor implementation in #9367 of visual display, people keep missing their timing even if it was more responsive than slower status update, it still make people impatient during last 2 seconds.

With this change now you can actually SEE how much time is left on active ability instead of need to "guess", there are other abilities that have duration like ravager rage, but this one apply cooldown immediately to ability and had visual display so i didn't touch them.

Looks good at a glance, need to look again later and then we should TM this

Also please stop changing all the if () spaces and variable names when you don't touch them, it makes for huge diffs and is awful to review 😭

it was supposed to be smaller when side PR's are merged, but yeah i will try to decrease size when possible.
(also reason why it is as WIP for now so i can fix stuff up)
