Retrothrusters QoL

Quality-of-Life improvements for retrothrusters, that make these more fun to hurtle around Night City in.

Retrothrusters are adjusted to be a smooth traversal late-game item that pairs well with air dashing and double-jumping, but will still save you from dangerous falls. They also afford you the versatility to downward-hover earlier, should you prefer. They shouldn't leave you floating in the air while gangoons shoot you to pieces. Additional care has been taken to set an activation threshold that is pseudorealistic--V can still sometimes land hard and elicit a bit of pain after a moderate fall--perhaps because of overconfidence or gauging it poorly. The changes made, in greater detail, are as follows:

Retrothrusters

... are now a legendary quality iconic item

... are renamed from "Retrothrusters (from Rogue)" to merely "Retrothrusters"

... grant immunity to falling damage (now listed on the item)

... grant immunity to death by falling (should they screw up and fail to notice an approaching surface)

... no longer restrict you from air dashing or double-jumping while active

... don't inexplicably activate at the apex of a double-jump

... grant +35% Jump Height to compensate for the aforementioned change (v1. 1)

... now only activate at dangerous fall speeds (v1. 1)

... can be activated manually, while you are falling at a dangerous speed, by pressing jump (v1. 1)

... can remain active if you continue to hold the jump button (v1. 1)

... override a default restriction on jumping/dodging, allowing you to jump/dodge even if falling too fast (v1. 2)

... no longer go bonkers when you fall from excessive heights--you can jump off a skyscraper now
