This patch fixes a rare crash when scanning planets or anomalies, makes it a bit safer to do some quests for races relation wise, adds some diplomatic immunity to diplomat ships, makes race traits impact relation changes and treaties more, and fixes several more minor issues.

* now doing quests that help an entire system but are for an enemy have only 25% as much relation penalty as before (Kurama Kitsune)
* now resources that give race ships a status effect, they give that effect immediately and end when they run out instead of being permanent but only on ships build while having the resource (new way should be a much more consistent boost)
