Passive Race Abilities

I always saved up the single shot racial powers for when I need them. And then I always forget to use them. Thus I decided to end it and replace them with passive abilities where possible or create new passive abilities fitting to the race and lore.

I tried to keep it reasonable in power level and took the opportunity to balance some things around. From my preliminary testing, it's working out alright. Should you encounter bugs or incompatibilities, let me know and I'll see what can be done.

[Update 18th June 2013] Got a bug report with mounted combat and added the missing entries.
[Update 25th June 2013] The values in the description are now highlighted, Breton Dragonskin ability has a 15% chance of 100% absorb, Nord shout cooldown bonus no longer cancled out by the Blessing of Talos, Redguard Adrenaline changed to +25% stamina regeneration out of combat and +100% during combat.
[update 25th July 2013] Fixed some ability descriptions and names. Changed the flavour text of loading screens to fit with the new abilities.
