Overmap hazard rebalance (#21571)

Browse Source 
# Summary

This PR rebalances the spawn count and radius of overmap hazard
clusters, as well as adjusts some of their overmap movement behavior.

## Justification

Mining trips to exoplanets distant to the Horizon can force miners to
spend large portions of a given round just trying to navigate around
overmap hazards; in the worst cases, the sheer number of dead ends and
blind spots can result in their effective removal from the first 60-90
minutes of a round, and the worst delays can obviate the need for their
materials in the first place. While reducing these hazards would also
benefit the Horizon and offships, the primary motivation was to reduce
mining's "dead time" in any given round.

## Details

Most overmap hazard types have had their 'count' (the number of clusters
spawned) and radius reduced, to open up more navigable space on the
overmap. This has been compensated for by modifying movement
probabilities, speeds, and behaviors of overmap hazards.

The intervals between overmap hazards moving (their effective speeds)
has been made variable; different clusters of movable hazards will no
longer always proc movement at the same time.

Carp continue to have a random chance to move in a random direction
every interval. Space dust and meteors now also have a chance to spawn
in as movable hazards, but they will only ever move in one direction.
While more dangerous to passing shuttles and ships than carp, they are
also much more predictable.

The current numbers were based on observation of several randomly
generated maps during testing, but will likely need adjustment as it
faces actual miners and we accumulate their feedback. I erred on the
side of 'less difficult' to avoid overtuned rocks from smashing crew to
pieces every round.
