- (#6339) Balance changes to the Fatboy

In general the Fatboy has been in an awkward position for a while now. With these changes we try to mitigate some of the perceived issues while preserving the identity of the Fatboy.

- (#6360) Increase the hitboxes of a wide range of units to fix them being able to evade torpedoes due to their hitbox being too shallow. Lots of units, such as ships or Cybran/UEF engineers, have part of their hitboxes below ground level to enable torpedo weapons to damage them when on water. Prior to this PR however, the hitboxes of many units were not submerged deep enough into the water, which caused torpedoes to not be able to hit them reliably. This was the case for almost 30 units, most notably the Cooper, but also all movable and immovable Sonars.

- (#6329) Fix the selection box of the Uyanah (Seraphim T3 Lightning Tank) being unusually thin. Fix the life bar and selection box of the Vulthoo (Seraphim T2 Gunship) not lining up with its model. The Vulthoo was made physically larger in a previous patch.

- (#6390) Fix a bug in the navigational mesh that could significantly slow down the simulation.

When we generate a navigational mesh the map is split into areas of terrain that units can walk over. This is done for each of the four layers (land, water, hover and amphibious). Heightmaps can be noisy, and therefore there can be thousands of tiny (the size of a wall) areas scattered across the map. These areas are to be culled, reducing the number of areas to take into account by a significant factor. Think in terms of going from 6000+ areas to (usually) less then 10. The culling did not work however.

Some computations of the AI take into account the number of areas. These computations would blow up with thousands of areas, significantly slowing down the simulation.
