Flamethrower Panic Fix

Fixes a bug where flamethrower has 0% chance to cause aliens to panic (Fun fact: the only thing it can cause panic to is mind-controlled soldiers)

To balance out some aspects, I removed the 100% panic chance from vanilla code and replaced with a custom will check roll of 50 for flamethrower and 80 for hellfire projector (Long War numbers), customizable in INI. Change to 200 if you want them to guarantee panic.

Also makes panicked aliens able to hunker down, previously they are not able to do so and will always team killing when panicked, this gives them a small chance to hunker down when panicked (they will not hunker down normally due to lack of AI instructions to do so, also customizable through INI)

Known Issues:
Hellfire projector will now show up as 'Fire Flamethrower' in ability bar, this is a limitation in the flamethrower panic check that is written in XComGameState that I can't override, there's a hard way to go around this but I don't think it's worth the effort.

WARNING: As any XCOM 2 mods do, saving a game with a mod enabled will cause the save game only work if and only if the mod is enabled, since this is a tweaking mod using existing templates there shouldn't be missing content after disabling the mod so for now you'll have to use this mod to fix it if you decide to disable the mod https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=619141883

Compatibility Note:
This mod slightly modifies Heavy Weapon 'FlamethrowerMk2' and ability template 'Panicked' and may not behave correctly if other mods modify the same thing. This mod also adds a 'Panicked' ability to a lot of character template and may not behave correctly if another mod clears their ability list.
