PVP Dynamic Tracking Beacon, Thermal Signatures

Adds a Tracking Beacon to the game, an alternative requirement for Beacons on servers that use them as ship identification.

The tracking beacon broadcast radius is not fixed, but based on the ships **current** thermal output. Stations are ignored from the calculation. Players should be requires to place one on all ships. Thermal Signature decays naturally over time, 10% of the most recent max output every 100 ticks (around 1.6 seconds)

Small ships broadcast at a rate of 15KM/30MW (2 large basic reactor), and Large ships broadcast at a rate of 25KM/300MW (1 large basic reactor). Hydrogen engines contribute to the thermal load, based upon their thrust output, and should work with most Thermal Engine Mods.

Different Thermal sources affect the broadcast range at different ratio:

Power from **Reactors have a 1:1 ratio** (1MW of output is 1MW for broadcast purpose)

Power from **Hydro Engines have a 2:1 ratio** (2MW of output is 1MW for broadcast purpose)

Power from **Batteries have a 4:1 ratio** (40MW of output is 10 MW for broadcast purpose)

Power from **Solar/Wind wont affect broadcast range** (always 0MW for broadcast purpose)

A Large Ship Hydrogen Engine generates roughly 1.5 kilometers at full burn.
