* 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

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.
Fixed position of physical (raycast) wheels to be in (or on the edge)
of the collision body, not outside. Removed support for defining
kart-specific physical kart position (was never used).
took ~1.6 seconds for a kart to stop, now 0.5; while hardly any change to
short brakes to slow down the kart a bit only). Also made the impulse to
keep karts parallel to the ground configurable.
Unfortunately I can't test (since the shaders don't work for me).

Made speed-weighted animations slower. That was part of r14324, but appears
to have been done accidentally. Auria, can you please confirm that you did
this on purpose?

Now that the nitro meter no longer features visible marks, adjust back the max nitro amount to what it was before, and restore back the old less easy nitro challenge on XR591

if either the estimated jump duration is long enough,
or the texture the kart was on before it jumped has
a jump property set.

damping of velocity, but as a max_speed restriction.
2) Bubblegum parameters are now fully configurable in
stk_config.xml.
3) Apply slowdown fraction also to speed increases
(e.g. previously a max speed of 23 with a zipper
giving a 15 additional speed with a slowdown of
0.3 would end up as: 23*0.3 + 15 = 21.9.
Now it is (23+15)*0.3 = 11.4. While this was done
mainly for bubble gums, it can affect other items
as well.
4) Used bubblegum as one word consistenly in variable
names and xml files.

in their animation, best use a kart like suzanne which doesn't
do that).
