Matrix Initiative for AR should match non-matrix initiative roll #2

Hello!

My friends group has been using your Roll20 sheet and have been enjoying it a lot.

Tonight, I realized that the Matrix Initiative button doesn't correctly account for the AR setting in the Cyberdeck section. It works correctly for Cold Sim and Hot Sim, but AR falls back to Hot Sim dice roll math instead of falling back to the non-matrix initiative roll.

This line is in the README:

Matrix Initiative always assumes you are using Hot Sim. If you use Cold Sim consider inputting a -1 in the second input for matrix_dice_modifier.

This isn't strictly true and it confused some of our game play.

Thank you for all your hard work on this! It is really well done!

Ah, I just saw this on page 229 of the Core Rules book:

When in AR, you use your normal Initiative and Initiative Dice.

So perhaps it's not worth changing. Sorry for the confusion!
