ACE3 Overheating & Cookoff (Weapons)

[JamesTheClarke]

ACE3 v3.14.0 has introduced a new weapon overheating and cookoff mechanic which makes it possible, that weapons misfire on their own when overheated. Reference PR #57

This feature is fairly controversial due to it introducing semi-random misfires which can either injure friendlies or give away our position after retreating from a firefight. If this feature will be implemented it will definitely require some testing in mini-ops before we roll it out to regular operations.

Testing Focus

• Consistency across various weapon mods: we've only ran this feature once so far and my 3CB RPK did not noticeably misfire even though I was going through several drum mags at the time - in comparison RHS AK-74s were misfiring quite often.
• Consistency across various rifle types.
• Dialing in settings that are reasonable and enjoyable across various mods and rifle types.
