Caps system changes

Major

- Army costs are now linear, instead of exponential - More unit type cost modifiers - Trade node map removed and replaced with map-mode lens - New caps ledger replacing the old decision menu GUI

Minor

- Caps ledger sort modes - State node GUI expanded to better support trade route creation - Remove node residence requirement for organization shops - Node levels are now roughly exponential. Early development is much easier to obtain, while later development becomes more difficult. State development modifier remains the same at 1.0 = 1 level at all levels - Nodes have no member states by default - Nodes grow outward towards areas of high development each level Node upgrading now requires a few days. - Node upgrade event can be turned off (node will still upgrade)
