Global Lootdrop Boost

[cbodmer]

I've come up with a new Rule to allow a server administrator to boost droprates across the board without having to modify the underlying database. This can be used for server special events and occasions, etc. The default setting does not change anything so this is save to apply, even if you don't intend to make use of it.

Patches are vs -1030. Common sense required for rule setting, I recommend a maximum of 30.
