(obsolete) No Reaper's Tax

Description
The devs finally added an option to switch between (Legacy) permadeath, Reaper's-Tax, skill loss, and (Retail) permadeath. So this mod is entirely obsolete.

This was originally going to be a large set of balance & gameplay additions which aimed to flesh out the 'Reaper's Tax' respawn mechanic, such as slightly nerfing the captain's cigar & adding other methods to heal reaper's tax late-game when outposts are not available. However since that time, the devs have instead rolled back their changes to respawning and made it once again 'restart with a new character' - whichs begs the question, why does reaper's tax still exist now because it applies a skill penanty on top of you already losing all your skills to begin with.

So: here's a patch that just removes reaper's tax from the game entirely, making it so you no longer have to manually select "create new character" every time you respawn to avoid getting the skill penalty on top of your starting stats.
I was surprised to find nobody had already done this, considering how long this problem of 'double respawn penalty' has existed.
