Squad Prep Weapon Vendors now scale with number of marines

About the pull request

latejoining now adds to the stock of squad vendors, meaning that latejoiners will no longer suffer from a lack of ammo due to someone emptying out most of the vendors of ammo.

I greatly reduced the starting stock of ammo to compensate, you can see my quick testing below for "number of marines joined" vs "number of mags added", but in short, every 3rd player adds 1 mag to every prep vendor (12 per prep). 65 marines joining will bring the number of mags to their previous starting amount (10 -> 25)

Explain why it's good for the game

Joining onto 3 hour rounds only to find that all the m41a ammo has been taken and sent to FOB kinda sucks, I don't want to visit requisitions for basic ammo (or loot the shooting range).

why did you reduce the initial amount?
This looks to be less than it was before despite the ability to scale.

If I didn't reduce the initial stock, assuming 50 marines join, the preps would have roughly 50 mags per vendor (and there are 24 vendors), which is a little absurd seeing how on some rounds there's 100+ marine players.

Also dynamic scaling is based on the initial stock. By reducing initial amounts control how many marines need to join per 1 mag to be added to all vendors (3 at the current rate.)
