Buffs surplus crates (#94665)

## About The Pull Request

Buffs surplus to 40 TC, united to 100 TC. Reduces haunted eightball
spawn rate and removes bee smoker from the surplus pool, and adds
advanced mimery tome.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Surplus crates are in a weird state after the progtot changes. They were
removed with the progtot implementation, and re-added later on but with
a measure for them to respect reputation system. The author that
re-added them intended to do so without the rep limitations, but was
asked to implement them and did as told (also note that the pr was done
when there were still side objectives to gain reputation). That's fine,
except for the fact that in the current state of reputation it is only
detrimental for the loot the surplus will hold in the first 30 minutes
of a round, and in after that it's just as it was before progtot (but
you ve had to wait the required time to gain the rep). This pr aims to
compensate that fact by simply increasing their contained value. United
surplus were buffed as well to not be irrelevant after the basic surplus
buff.

Touched a few items in and out that I thought were logic to have/not
have.

Bee smoker requires botany gameplay, which demands certain knowledge and
tools the rest of the traitors item pool doesnt
Haunted eight ball is non functional (in the end i reduced it s spawn
rate to minimum)
Advanced mimery was banned from surplus and I couldnt find a coherent
reason for this, so I added a 10% spawn rate, similar to the values of
pie cannon and clown car (seemed thematically right)

## Changelog

smoker from syndi surplus pools. Added advanced mimery guide.
