Remove flirting from negative companion affinity list and make companion interactions fit nonmonogamy better

The game allows you to romance multiple companions, so it doesn't make sense to me why some companions don't like you flirting with other companions in their presence, or expanding your relationship. I know jealousy is still a thing in real polyamorous and/or open relationships, but this doesn't seem to be a direct-enough way of representing that for that to be an intentional design choice. I would like to see flirting and romancing other companions (and characters like Magnolia) be made neutral affinity actions rather than negative affinity ones across all romanceable companions.

 

I would also like to see some changes to how companions interact with each other. Just as an example, Piper reacts negatively to Cait's "threesome" line. But if you're romancing both of them, and considering that both of them can date a Sole Survivor of any gender, I'd personally expect Piper to be open to the idea, or at least less snarky in turning it down. I'm sure there are more interactions like this. Replacing some of the dialogue and facial expressions in these interactions with other lines of dialogue or even "hmm"s and grunts, where appropriate, should make them more reasonable for if both companions are being romanced.
