New "hidelinkedentity" or "hidelinkedentities" subelement of MapEntityPrefab causes backwards compatibility issues and limits what can be done in the sub editor

[Sharp-Shark]

The Companion Update adds to "Barotrauma.MapEntityPrefab" the new "hidelinkedentity"/"hidelinkedentities" subelement that accepts a tag or tags. This automatically overrides the HiddenInGame value of linked entites (see the method "HandleHidingLinkedEntity" of "Barotrauma.MapEntity"), even if the subelement isn't present. This changes the behavior of items compared to the public version and limits what can be done in the sub editor.

For example, you are unable to make this coilgun loader hidden in game because by linking it to a coilgun, it will always be unhidden unless you override the coilgun with a mod to add the "hidelinkedentities" with the tags of the coilgun loader. But if you do this, then every coilgun loader linked to a coilgun will be hidden in game.

The best solution would be to make it such that if a map entity prefab lacks the "hidelinkedentity" or "hidelinkedentities" subelement, it won't override the HiddenInGame of linked entities.
