Shadowrun QoL Fixes

What it changes

RetchE's patch keeps the Genesis Shadowrun as it was designed and only removes a few long-standing annoyances:

• After a defeat, when you are picked up, you come back with full physical and mental health instead of a partial refill.
• Characters fitted with Wired Reflexes no longer die instantly when they get into melee combat, a bug that could ruin a run.
• The Contacts entry for Agira Tetsumi now names the level of Power Focus he really sells.
• Tar Pit ICE in the Matrix, which wipes programs from your cyberdeck, is swapped for the milder Tar Paper almost everywhere. One Tar Pit is left in Seattle General Hospital, so you can still delete programs you no longer want on purpose.

Combining it

The fixes can be played alone, and the author also made a Decker rebalance and a new omni class that are designed to stack on top of this patch.
