Additional Pylons (#1870)

This PR adds a new utility mechanic for the cult. Pylons can now be upgraded into arcane defensive turrets, which fire bolts of demonic energy. These turrets are entirely automated, somewhat-rapid firing, extremely accurate and quite long ranged, but their damage is very low, and thus their total DPS, even with the fire rate, is still far lower than most real ranged weapons.
