feat(balance): Cut Wanderer sun reactor energy capacity in half + -20…

…% energy generation on the biochemical cells (endless-sky#9743)

Wanderer sun reactor energy capacities were doubled back in 0.9.15. The Wanderer sun reactors were already dominant before their energy capacity was increased, and they have remained dominant due to not losing out as much relatively to the energy capacity buff that was given to other outfits. Reverting the energy capacity buff gives other reactors and battery outfits more breathing room.

In that same update, biochemical cells received a 10x energy capacity buff. This pushed them into the realm of being great batteries with some energy generation rather than a weak energy generator with some energy capacity, although the combined effect has ended up being a bit too strong. As such, reduced the energy generation by 20% as opposed to reverting part of the energy capacity buff to keep them in their niche while not being too overpowered.
