Profakos 28540f275b Bepis techs can be found in bitrunning crates, removed from vendors (#82872)
## About The Pull Request

This PR adds Bepis disks to the main rewards of the Bitrunning crate in
addition to the minerals and domain specific rewards. It also removes it
from the Bepis vending machine.

Once per domain, if its difficult was Medium or higher, and the
completion score was A or S, and if there are still any leftover locked
Bepis tech nodes, a Bepis disk will spawn.

<details>
  <summary>Original PR text</summary>
If domain has a reward value greater than one, it has 10% chance per
reward value to drop. No disk is gained if they ran out of techs to
unlock. Most of the domains have a reward value of three, so by the law
of great numbers they probably get one disk per every three domains run,
which should be one disk every 20-30 minutes. At least, if I am correct
that domain runs take about five to ten minutes, and the server cooldown
is three minutes. If I am incorrect, I can edit the drop chance as
needed, of course.

Edit: As I have underestimated how fast Bitrunners can be, I have
decreased the chance to be 5% per reward tier.

## Why It's Good For The Game

- Bepis disks are expensive, and bitrunners need to spend almost all
their NP on gear and abilities
- Downloading secret research data, is flavourful, fitting for invading
the forgotten nooks of cyberspace.
- This will allow Bepis tech to be actually used in rounds

## Changelog

🆑
balance: Bitrunners can now earn Bepis disks, once per medium domain or
above, if they scored at least an A.
del: Bitrunners can not buy Bepis disks from their vendors.

Ghom 76fa5bcdad Skillchips are now copied to bitrunning avatars, plus a new chip to dodge bullets while flipping. (#81980)
## About The Pull Request
Active skillchips are now copied on bitrunning avatars. To celebrate
this, I've made a skillchip, which can be ordered through the bitrunning
vendor, that lets you dodge projectiles for the duration of your flips
plus 1/10 of a second (so 8/10 of a sec), at the cost of stamina (if you
think 20 is a bit too low, tell me).

I've also renamed the files containing the orderable bepis disks and
bitrunning tech because they inconsistent with the names of their
sections shown in the UI.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I think (active) skillchips being copied to bitrunning avatars makes
sense as after all they're both tech-y, brainy stuff. It's a bit of a
shame that no one thought of doing that.
