scout ammo and economy nerf

[Red-byte3D]

About the pull request

This pr aims to make high impact and incindeary mags rarer.

Explain why it's good for the game

Currently you get 5 mags per req buy, which is while normally not alot for any other weaponhigh impact rounds can bascially stun anything thats a stunnable caste.
Having this easy access to this many mags is a bit broken in my opinion. I dont think this nerf will make scout useless, but it will definetly make you rethink where and how you use your ammo. Which in my opinion is important when you can solo juggle 3 xenomorphs alone.

I didnt think touching the actual cost of the crates were important as the 2 mag removal should really make a difference and make your special ammo feel special and rarer.

I also decided to not change the numbers on the normal bullets because i think they're already not that great, and have instead decided to remove the ARMOR_PENETRATION_TIER_10 (which equals to 50 ARMOR PIERCE ??) from HIGH IMPACT ROUNDS and change it to 10 ap instead.I dont think it needs that much ap, especially since your main combo is incin round into stun mag. This should help armored caste feel like they arent instantly dying to the stun gun.

I've decided to buff the damage of the normal mags to 60 from 55, while i dont think it will make the mags BETTER then other options, it will certainly give it a chance to deal with tier threes so you arent constantly locked to the backline, alongside its 35 AP.

For accuracy of information the change to Impact AP will have the denoted changes on the following T1 and T2 xenos regrading shots to crit. I've not accounted for T3 xenos, but T3s are far harder to kill now as well. Any xeno not mentioned already has no or insufficient armour to make a difference.

Also, changelog is incorrect, it states that impact ammo has been lowered to 15 AP but it has in fact been lowered to 10 AP. PR title should also reflect this is changing the damage and armour pen values of the scouts weapons as well as changing the economy of its acquisition

I don't think the damage numbers or penetration need to be changed at this time. However I am fine with a reduction in how many mags the scout has access to at round start. Please revert the pen and dmg changes and just keep your magazine amount changes. Ultimately I would like everything to have an increased reliance on req keeping them supplied.

Also need to update the names of the crates:
