Hatterhat 13fdf964cf Dramatically reduces upgraded exoscanner power draw (#95531)
## About The Pull Request

Exoscanner power draw is now based on total energy tier of the parts
divided by how many parts there are, instead of 1 + total energy tier,
as this would result in excessively large power draw when fully
upgraded.

## Why It's Good For The Game

A single machine hitting 81x power draw (81 kW) at tier 4 is probably
not great, especially if they're meant to be built in large sets for
scanning array purposes.

## Changelog

🆑
balance: Upgraded exoscanners no longer have skyrocketing power draw
when upgraded, following an incident where a station's chief engineer
declared vendetta upon their Cargo department for drawing an excessive
amount of power, resulting in massive casualties.
