Add a parameter to Exterminate to allow percentage of that population to exterminate.

This would allow people to cull large populations to save up some FPS - but not wipe them off the face of the planet.

"-thanos"

To implement:

[ ] update docs with new flag and behavior (do this first so you make sure you know what is supposed to happen)
[ ] add commandline flag processing
[ ] ensure flag is passed to where you need to act on it
[ ] call a random number generator (lua has one) to make the decision of whether to return early from a function

I'd also suggest naming the parameter -p, --percent, with --thanos being an alias for --percent=50
