About the PR

The following changes were made in this PR:
The max programs a PDA can have was set to 3, but now excludes the ones that come pre-installed on it.
The Brigmedic PDA now comes with the wanted list program. (No CL since it is not in use.)
The HoS and Detective PDA now come with the logprobe program.
Captain, ERT, CC, Admin and Deathsquad PDAs now all come with more programs (wanted list, logprobe, medtek, astronav), with admin and DS PDA's getting 9 extra program slots instead of 3.

Why / Balance

With more and more PDA programs being added as functionality is moved from PDAs to these programs, some PDAs were only able to install one more program or even no extra programs. This PR changes that to be 3 + whatever you already have roundstart.
In regards to the logprobe, this is essential equipment for the detective, and I believe they and their boss (the HoS) should be given it roundstart just like how doctors or salvagers are given their programs roundstart.
As for the cap and admeme pdas, these are all high-ranking positions that should realistically have access to all of these programs.

Technical details

Just changed the max numbers for now, if somebody can code them to ignore the pre-installed ones thatd be nice.

Media

Not much to show.

Requirements

imo pda programs interface should be reworked to be able to contain more programs on one screen

Surely software capacity will need to be upgradeable (by the HoP) so that promoted crewmembers will be able to install all their needed software.

3 extra programs should be enough for that, though itd be nice if HoP could create specific PDAs.
