Describe the issue

Lings should only be able to re-evolve once after absorbing a victim. Antags during this round reported being able to re-evolve repeatedly without absorbing anyone.

How to reproduce

1. Become a changeling via uplink jumpstarter.
2. Choose your powers via the evolution menu.
3. Choose re-evolve via the changeling tab.

We ran into issues during testing, which resulted in another bug report, #21795 , but I'm also concerned that if re-evolution isn't being properly gated then horror form might be available off the jump.

Also having trouble reproducing this one. I'm getting the proper error message "You lack the power to re-adapt your evolutions!" Even after absorbing and re-evolving, then buying more powers, I was unable to re-evolve without absorbing someone else.

Also tried evolving horror form and was properly prevented.

@Fyniiy There was some non-standard setup for the antag that reported this, right? They were killed and brought back to make it a bit more cinematic? Were they rejuved? That may have affected the re-evolution.

We were unable to produce this with late admin created lings. Please see the comment I made on #21795 for the process.

This was noted to happen after the ling did their regen stasis.
