issue 2: HR manager uses wrench as a weapon to attack enemy which prevents security officer behind her from firing

Have AI crouch at random so bots can shoot over other bots, too often the AI just kind of waits in line

I am adding on to discussion #15073 about

Bots shouldn't ever intentionally shoot at you. In mp, if there's no enemies around, and a player attacks a bot, they might try to arrest the player.

They do, as seen in this video

All the issues above are addressed in FakeFishGames/Barotrauma-development#6145. Bots in mp should act like they do in sp, i.e. security officers in the crew shouldn't try to arrest you anymore. It was intentionally so, but a bit bugged (and have caused issues also before), so I think it's better to have them always behave the same.

The bots are now able to crouch and back off from the enemies when they have ranged weapons. Doesn't fix cases where bots run in the line of sight or when a bot with a melee weapon blocks the path, but should remedy the issue and at least make the bots sometimes able to shoot past each other.
