Commodities, Bounties, and Performance, oh my!

Commodities changes
--------------------------------
- Commodities (asteroids/gas) will now try to spawn in an area that belongs to an economy that can refine said commodity. This will be a gradual change as only commodities spawning from now on will try to adhere to this rule. So give it a few days and a lot of mining/scooping before you start seeing them in relevant areas.


Xenozoology Bounties
--------------------------------
- Xenozoology bounties are active once again and will reward you with a random weapon and armor mod each day.
- The possible bounty targets list has been expanded and will include some wilderness mobs as well.


Performance
--------------------------------
- There are now rehearsal rooms in the faction cities and on Omni Station (musical instruments for purchase will be coming soon!)
- If you find a rehearsal room, you can now PERFORMANCE BAND REHEARSE [color] [emote] to try out your emotes before a concert.
- There are now RANKINGS BANDS, where you compete against already established bands in popularity.
- Some popularity bugs were fixed.


LUCENT
--------------------------------
- Some LUCENT Soundwavez bugs were fixed.
- Typing LUCENT SOUNDWAVEZ PLAY while already playing a song will skip to the next song.
