Subject: [PATCH] Debuff outpost and remove un-necessary technologies.

Outposts ought to be used to get more vision, not as an accessory to
rushing.
Technologies were not very potent and hardly ever researched.

Patch by: borg-
Reviewed By: Nescio, wraitii
Differential Revision: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D2933
This was SVN commit r24016.
