* Prepares for advanced item and nitro usage strategy
Replace the bool determining if usage is random or not by an int allowing several levels of AI item usage.
Add NITRO_ADVANCED mode for nitro usage.
* Adapt for more item and nitro levels
The XML files have to be changed. The logic for the item_skill still has to be done.

* Update bubble gum AI to new system
In addition of making some functionality depends on AI levels, there are a few overall improvements for the better AIs :
1)Remove the "drop the gum in the last lap" logic. Bad strategy since ever the shield has been added to the gum
2)The protection against flyable is not used if the user holds a swatter and the flyable is a plunger
3)Holding a swatter no longer blocks the AI from using the shield against a flyable nor from using the gum behind
4)The shield is used to remove bad attachments (bomb, parachute, anvil)
5)Reduce the distance with the kart behind when dropping the gum to reduce misses
* Update swatter AI to new system
The swatter could benefit from several kind of usage improvement. This patch introduce only one, but probably the more important : the better AIs now use it to remove bad attachments

* Activate shield before hitting box or bad item
Meant for higher AIs.
* Increase lookup distance
Some distance will be needed for the switch

* Update handleNitroAndZipper to the new system
Also fix a naming error, remove the 95% speed limitation on nitro usage
* Adds a small engine boost to nitro
Currently, nitro is very counter-intuitive as it only affects max_speed. This change corrects it. The effect remains small to not upset balance. It is mostly felt when below max_speed, so the can of nitro potential power doesn't change much.
* Improve AI nitro handling
Summary :
1)Makes the AI use nitro by bursts, greatly improving its efficiency
2)Makes the AI use nitro when close to max speed (to unlock the max speed increase)
3)Remove the overtaking logic as the AI will now use its nitro anyway
4)The AI tries to keep a reserve of nitro for use towards the end of the race.
* Allows estimated finish time to be checked at any lap, fix a crash
* Makes the AI use its nitro reserves
* Better tuning for nitro reserve usage to reduce the probability of unused nitro

(fixes karts getting stuck at borders), use a longer less bevelled collision
shape better kart stability), and reduce angular factor to make it less
likely that karts can drive on walls.
