Implementation EventualSkills

[Josharias]

Name: Eventual Skills
Summary: A library for adding time based skill leveling. Borrows some math from EVE Online.
Scope: Mod
Current Goal:
Curator: Josharias
Github: https://github.com/Terasology/EventualSkills
Compatibility: Singleplayer, Multiplayer
Vision:
Provide a set of systems to allow a player character to train skills. The skills would be trained over time without being required to be currently logged in. Players can train only one skill at a time.
Leveling up skills can then:

• Alter the character's attributes
• Unlock various in game mechanisms

Borrowed EVE math is:

skillPointsNeeded = rank * 250.0 * Math.pow(5.66, level - 1)​

Skill point gain is static at:

37.5 skillpoints/min​

Added an integration module with ManualLabor. This puts some skill requirements for crafting certain items. Also, there is a skill to improve the crafting time of assembly.
