dynamic handicap

This mutator changes the handicap of players based on difference of their score to the mean score. Linear handicap value is calculated using the following formula:

linear_handicap = |(score - mean) * g_dynamic_handicap_scale| ^ g_dynamic_handicap_exponent

After that the sign is restored and final handicap if calculated using this formula:

if (linear_handicap >= 0)
{
	handicap = linear_handicap + 1;
}
else
{
	handicap = 1 / (|linear_handicap| + 1);
}
