Fuel consumption changed to account for power #295

Changes the fuel consumption to be proportional to engine power and throttle, instead of RPM.

Did some quick research on BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) of average piston engines, most plots look as such:

For all intents and purposes, that's a straight line across the RPM range, and so fuel consumption is calculated simply as throttle times power.

This is consistent with the definition of BSFC.

The constants were tweaked so that idle and peak fuel consumption remain roughly the same for the engines I tested.

The remaining linter issues are due to the playermodel chairs, not gonna change that on this pr
