Title: Mil drives5 to9

I have redone the addition of the Military drive classes 5 through 9 from my (hopefully) clean master.

I'll copy n' paste some of my reasons for doing this that were in the original pull request #747

"We might want only military ships to have these drives, currently that's not possible because they just don't exist in the game. Or should we be able to create missions where we acquire them, again not possible if they don't exist. The values, prices etc all need discussion but this was meant to provide a constructive starting point where no-one had to do any further work to get it running."

This isn't necessarily something that should go into the game, but as can be seen from the forum response it does seem like people like the idea of getting these drives. Perhaps we can make that into some compelling gameplay. Their certainly seem to be people stepping up to learn the Lua system that would make such a thing possible.

So lets discuss it and the code is here if anyone wants it.

Thanks :)
