- Fixed Airports not reducing trade maintenace

Both effects were introduced in the Bonny update but weren't affecting players with the mod

- Updated mod to work with Bonny Patch 2 (v1.0.25.4263)
- Fixed bug that was sometimes preventing Biplanes to be built
- Increased Science collaboration treaty yields with IP in Classical and later eras - old formula was PopulationCount + DistrictCount * GlobalEra * PatronageShare, new formula is (PopulationCount + DistrictCount) * GlobalEra ^1.5 * PatronageShare ^ 0.5.
- Removed the extra +1 influence on Academy of Arts and Artist's Studio as their bug was fixed in Vanilla
- Ransack Yields increased from ((TechnologicalEra + 1) ^ 1.1 * BaseRansackValue + TradeRouteDestructionBonus) * RansackOwnershipFactor * RansackBountyGlobalFactor to ((TechnologicalEra + 0.8) ^ 2 * BaseRansackValue + 4 * TradeRouteDestructionBonus * TechnologicalEra ^ 2) * RansackOwnershipFactor * RansackBountyGlobalFactor. This will increase by a LOT the importance of protecting your trade routes as ransacking them will yield lots of money.

Uploaded an EXPERIMENTAL patch. I really want to hear your opinion on these Neolithic changes.

- Added 6 CS to Biplanes (51 -> 57) so they can survive better against anti-air and more modern fighters
- Increased by 6 (from 10 to 16) the CS penalty from bombardment on Fighter planes (so Biplanes bombard is unchanged, but both Monoplane Fighter and Reisen now are weaker on bombardment). This does not affect Strategic Bombers, Multirole Fighters nor the American Lightning.

- Reverted the trade upkeep formula to vanilla and added a 30% linear discount to trade upkeep. This fixes the UI problems with the trade screen the mod was introducing.
- Fixed "resource being sold" incompatibilities by reverting the French Exhibition hall and Knowledge Authorities' Foreign Innovations effects to vanilla.
- Fixed a bug introduced by the mod that was making the USA LT's influence effect not work

- Fixed Cubans's Empresa Farmaceutica which was providing 0 pharmaceuticals instead of 1
