Bugfix: When a squad had the scouting trait, CAN_DETECT_ENEMY_PRESENSE_IN_SECTORS_AROUND = TRUE and CAN_DETERMINE_ENEMY_NUMBERS_IN_SECTORS_AROUND = FALSE the map always showed enemy teams next to the player squad because of the false positives feature. I disabled this feature completely until a believable mechanism is implemented for a chance based false positive reporting.

Enhanced Description Box (EDB) Compare Feature (by anv & Buggler)
- Now, when alt key is pressed, statistics of any item displayed in Description Box will change to show comparison with another items in sector inventory, allowing for quick revision of available equipment.
Two items can be compared, if they belong to the same class, with exception of:
- armor items can be compared only if they are of the same type (vest vs vest, helmet vs helmet, no point in comparing item if it can't be replaced by),
- weapons can be compared with any other weapon (including throwing knives vs guns, knives vs blunt weapons, etc.),
- explosives - bombs can be compared with grenades too (makes sense since TNT can be armed and thrown too).
