Subtle sword adjustments

Content introduction:

Small adjustments to swords to make them more useful without making them OP.

The goal of this mode is to make Swords just a little better at what they already do, while respecting the ethos of XCOM where every move is a carefully considered tactical gamble.

This mod intentionally does not guarantee 100% accuracy, as guaranteed hits are rare and valuable, and the skills and items that provide it always have a cooldown or limited use. So the sword should not be infinitely usable, with zero cooldown to guarantee hits. But it should be reliable in a pinch.

detail:

Sword accuracy is increased across the board by 5% (regular), 10% (stun) and 10% (fusion). This means that a squad ranger's expected accuracy should be around 92%. Level 2 and 3 swords gain greater punch in later game enemies to account for innate defenses. The accuracy improvements also make Bladestorm more consistent.

Stun Sword's chance to stun has been increased from 25% to 40%, giving you a better mid-range crowd control tool. 40% of the time, you can develop a better strategy around using stuns in your offense.

The Fusion Sword's damage range reaches 6-7 and pierces 1 point of armor. This makes the sword slightly more reliable as a trash mob killer later in the game.
