Better Reactor Boosters for CSS [3.*]

Better Reactor Boosters compatible with Cultural Special Ships with some experimental changes from the original.
This mod can work on vanilla without CSS as well, if you want to try the experimental changes.
Short description:
This mod moves the Reactor Boosters from auxiliary slot to being a required component (just like reactors, thrusters etc.) with different cost, upkeep and power values depending on the ship size. Also adds a dark matter variant of a reactor booster (unlockable after reseaching dark matter reactor and advanced reactor booster)

Changes for this version:
Tier 1 reactor booster you get as a starting tech and only increases power and daily shield regeneration for a small increased energy upkeep
Tier 2 reactor booster unlocks with a tier 1 "improved reactor boosters" technology with it prerequisite being fusion reactor tech.
On top of it generating more power and daily shield regeneration than tier 1, it gives a small 10% shield nullification protection, so instead of loosing 100% of your shields inside of a pulsar system or space storm for example, you only lose 90% of your shields. Has a medium increase in ship energy upkeep
Tier 3 reactor booster unlocks with a tier 3 "advanced reactor boosters" technology with it prerequisites being animatter reactor, improved reactor boosters and shield hardeners.
Generates a lot of power and daily shield regeneration, adds 25% protection from shield nulification and 20% shield hardening with increased ship energy upkeep
Tier 4 dark matter reactor booster unlocks with a tier 5 "dark matter reactor boosters" technology with it prerequisites being dark matter reactor and advanced reactor boosters.
Generates enough power to fit all of the most power hungry components from vanilla, adds high daily shield regeneration, 50% protection from shield nulification and 25% shield hardening with increased ship energy upkeep

All power, cost, upkeep, daily shield regeneration scales with each ship size. To put it simply: bigger ship - more power, cost, regen and upkeep. With platforms and ion cannons having less upkeep and cost per power generation, since they are stationary.
