Rationalize and buff the stats of all Cybran Shield Generators

Explanation of the changes

I was going through the blueprints of these units and noticed how all over the place their stats are. Especially their mass/energy consumption figures are very unintuitive. This PR aims to remedy this, and make their behaviour easier to learn. If you are looking for an example, the ED2 will no longer use 7.6 mass/s when upgrading to the ED3. Additionally, all buildpower figures are now dividable by 5, the buildpower of a Tech 1 engineer. No more 29.3 buildpower, like with the ED3.

While doing this, I also threw in a buff for the three mid/late game shields. It is widely accepted, that the ED3, ED4 and ED5 are extremely bad, while the ED1 and ED2 are good/fine. These changes make them more competitive/usable, while still keeping them considerably worse than the shields of the other factions, as to not break faction diversity.

Stat Changes

ED1 BuildRate: 19.2 --> 20

ED2 BuildCostMass: 460 --> 440 BuildRate: 21 --> 20 BuildTime: 775 --> 800

ED3 BuildCostMass: 1260 --> 1140 BuildRate: 29.3 --> 30 BuildTime: 2200 --> 2000

ED4 BuildCostEnergy: 41000 --> 39000 BuildCostMass: 2460 --> 2240 BuildRate: 50.7 --> 50 BuildTime: 3515 --> 3300

ED5 BuildCostEnergy: 67666 --> 63000 BuildCostMass: 4260 --> 3920 BuildTime: 7100 --> 6000

The Balance Team is currently discussing this and currently doesn't see a need for the changes.

I reduced the buffs considerably, could this get another review?
