UI fix: • Menus updated with option to return to main menu

Balance Fix: • Improved balancing of Disadvantages • Made Head Injury penalty is now 2 turns instead of 3 • Decreased roll odds for Exhaustion and Two Left Feet (rolls every hour) • Adjusted damage for range weapons to balance non-melee builds • Tweaked balancing of early enemies with respect to difficulty
