First Patch for The Festering - Withdrawals.

Thank you so much for playing my game and sharing it around, it means a lot to me. I hope its not too hard though, as from the stats it seems like it may be a bit...too unforgiving.

Hopefully this small patch will help out a bit, as its focusing on the negative luck drugs being a bit buffed (Negative luck drugs won't have such a big negative anymore) and buffing the melee a bit in terms of damage so slightly, extra durability, stamina usage lowered by 50-75% including the stamina usage while charging!

Also should clear up console logs if playing in the game + do checks if you've completed an achievement and give you that achievement (Effects the people who already has stats indicating they completed an achievement).

More fixes noted further down this post.

(Not saving score properly on any run or when meeting the dealer, is less of my issue and more of a S&box issue AFAIK, i'll keep looking into it though:D)
