Significant Store progress and Heat Changes

There have been several major changes in this version, as we try to find the best balancing of all the variables.

- The store is now free again: it doesn't increase heat to go there
- There is a free bag of chips in the store
- The Comptroller now requires payment in heat (as he's messing with the machine)
- Destroying a chip can be paid in heat, in case you don't have enough money
- The score curve has been completely redone. It has a linear component to increase difficulty in early game, as well as the previous exponential one.

Plus several minor fixes and changes.

Enjoy, and please let us know of any issues, and how the balancing feels -- try with modifiers as well!
