Updates to Cyber Rigs, text bugfix for localizations, fixes for client crashes and update to the NPC Power Growth Rate

PTS is coming down at Sunday March 1 at 7:15 PM PT for a client update. Estimated downtime is 1 hour.

Here are the rough incomplete patch notes:

Cyber Rigs now drop with fixed EGO requirements instead of the requirement scaling to the EGO of the looter: Mark 1 = EGO 10, Mark 2 = EGO 1000, Mark 3 = EGO 3000.
Fix for client crash related to the new salvage matrix (Thanks for the detailed reproduction steps Fuzzy, et al).
Fix for incorrect options sometimes appearing in the salvage matrix content sensitive menu
Disabled dueling in Alcatraz - it is a jail after all. No fighting.
Text bugfix for DE cutoff when Expedition round number is double digits.
Text bugfix for FR cutoff of Tier label.
Adjusted the way that player and NPC power grows from EGO 10 - 4500 to alleviate spikes in difficulty. These were particularly noticeable when fighting NPCs at a higher EGO than you. Power grows at a steadier rate now, both for PCs and NPCs. Due to this, players will notice their equipment and health stats may change. Depending on your EGO rating and where that was relative to the previous spikes in power, those stats may increase or decrease. NPCs (and other players) are also modified the same way, so fight difficulty is unchanged when fighting like-EGO NPCs, but will be easier in general when fighting higher-EGO NPCs.
Expedition cost warning messages were switched around for group followers and leaders.
NPCs.
Potential client crash fix when pulling chips.
Additional DE/FR localization
