Campaign balance updates

Main points of interest: Cyborgs do more damage than their tank variants. New Cannon, Rocket, and Flamer cyborgs added in Beta campaign. Heavy Gunner cyborg is based off Medium Cannon instead of Light Cannon to be of better use. All Nexus units spawned or manufactured use the internal sensor "NavGunSensor". Gamma 9 hack event tweaks and fixes. Mega VTOL anti-cheese abilities added to the HQ, VTOLs not initially blown up anymore upon seeing the final base. Various improvements to some VTOL weapons from previous balance update. Enemy VTOL wave spawn amounts tweaked to be more forgiving where necessary. New Depleted Uranium Mk3 upgrade unlocked during Gamma 4 artifact tech so Assault Gun can be not too shabby up to Pulse Laser (which obsoletes AG and Inferno at the same time). First Scavenger factory on Alpha 8 rotated to face North rather than South, preventing units sometimes getting trapped behind the Cannon Tower next to the factory.
