Rebalance slings
Slings numbers (along with the other launchers') needed to be
rebalanced after the recent ranged combat rework. The approach
here is essentially analogous to the staves skill; good return
for xp investment, but a limited power cap, especially if you
don't find the rare upgrade weapon type.
Slings renamed to 'hunting slings' and upgraded from 2->5 base
damage (and 12 base delay); new, rare "greatsling" added, with
8 base damage and 14 base delay. Punk upgraded to the latter
type.
Thanks to Lasty for providing a baseline math suggestion!
