Research buildings no longer have a Promethion cost

There's no limit on the number of cities you can have on a planet but they now cost 1 promethion in addition to food.

Commander abilities text no longer pops out of fleet tooltip
Added size check to remaining available faction list when setting up random players (prevents edge-case crash)

Tabbing between players in the trade window now correctly updates trade offers.
Updated Star Surfer description better explain its functionality

There have been no changes to being able to play MP with mismatched DLC: with a few exceptions, the host's DLC is available to everyone.

Research buildings no longer have a Promethion cost
