Jacquerel be2f292253 Gulag boulder mining adjustments (#81971)
## About The Pull Request

This PR does two fairly simple things.
Firstly, it triples the gulag point value of every material except
glass.
Secondly, it allows mining skill increases to effect the speed of
boulder breaking and reduce the stamina "exertion" you take.

I tried this out personally on Lavaland and Icebox and while this is
very much dependent on RNG (and storm timing) this got earning 1000
points purely from mining and smashing boulders down to _about_ ten
minutes of work, which I believe is the rough estimate of how much
effort it was before that. It may skew a bit higher than that if the ash
storm happens at a bad time or the game gives you predominantly iron,
but not a _lot_ higher.

The mining skill = faster smashing thing is... barely perceptible after
ten minutes of mining to be honest but it's saving _some_ time and I
think if it gives you the exp it might as well benefit from it too.

I didn't do anything for _glass_ because you can just pick that up off
the ground in Lavaland and I didn't want to make _that_ the ideal route
to getting your sentence finished.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Since ArcMining was merged, the gulag has changed to a system primarily
about digging up boulders and smashing them with a pickaxe for random
rewards. I think the chain gang thing is pretty flavourful, but the
inability to just target high-value materials (because you could see
them on the mining scanner) and the overall decrease in output has made
it take a lot longer to get a similar amount of points.

People are sending prisoners out to mine for 1000 points of materials
assuming this is about 10 minutes work, when in reality it was more like
30-35 minutes. Longer on Lavaland, where you need to take breaks for ash
storms.

This was not an intentional "nerf" to prisoner miners and should
hopefully bring it back down to somewhere closer to the previous level.

## Changelog

🆑
balance: All materials except glass are now worth more gulag points than
before.
balance: Mining skill decreases the time it takes to break boulders, and
makes it less tiring.
