[WOTC] Covert Slot Reward Restrictor

Allows removing rewards from soldier slots on covert actions. Blocks stat gains by default, but can also be set to block promotions and other mod-added rewards.

Everything can be configured in the bundled XComCovertSlotRestrictor.ini config file. A ListCovertSlotRewards console command is also provided to find new rewards, in case you have a mod that is not covered by the defaults.

If adding this mod to a running campaign, note that it will only take effect for newly-rolled covert actions. (usually after the month ticks over)

This mod is a spiritual successor to Hotl3looded's excellent No Stat Boost From Covert Actions, which does not seem to be under active development anymore. If switching over from that mod, note these changes:

• CSRR uses a configurable blocklist instead of blocking everything.
  
• CSRR allows the promotion reward by default.
  
• CSRR runs after other mods, fixing an issue where rewards could randomly pop back up.

The first change ensures compatibility with mods like Iridar's Bounty Hunter Class, which rely on having their own rewards always available. The second allows Covert Infiltration's Exhaustive Training covert op to work.

Note that while everything should work fine with Covert Infiltration, I have not yet tested it on a full campaign. I did not notice (and do not expect) any issues, but this mod does technically override some of CI's slot reward logic.

Rewards from both Psionics Ex Machina and Long War of the Chosen are included, but the LWOTC side is untested and disabled by default. I have not played LWOTC yet, so I don't know if those settings are correct -- let me know if you try them!
