1.55f/g

I privately released VSH 1.55f for testing, but then I ended up finishing 1.55g before releasing 1.55f, so I've compiled a combined changelog below.
I have not marked this version as a pre-release, because I feel it deviates too far from what would legitimately make it into stock VSH. Please look over the changelog thoroughly before updating your server to 1.55g, to see if your playerbase would enjoy it or not.

*_NB:_* Please remember to update your translations file! (only the English translations file was updated, if you require a different language translations file I'm afraid you'll have to translate it yourself, sorry).

A minor release for the 'unofficial pre-release of 1.56' branch. Just fixes a few small issues that were introduced by me in the last version, plus one more addition that I forgot to add.

• Fixed Claid having the wrong attribute (Charge on hit instead of is_a_sword).
• SpawnRandomHealth/Ammo() will spawn at least one pickup now.

• Minor code cleanup of addthecrit.

Compiled .smx was compiled using Sourcemod 1.7.3-dev+5292.

1.55c

Another unofficial 'pre-release' of 1.56. There are several issues present in 1.55, and with still no ETA for 1.56, this unofficial release was created for anyone who wanted fixes for those issues. This release also includes some minor new weapon changes that are quite likely to be present in 1.56 or at least in a future version of VSH. Compiled plugin compiled using Sourcemod 1.7.3-dev+5292.
As this is unofficial, I'm releasing it in an 'as-is' state. So if there any bugs with any changes I made, please file a GitHub issue/PR.

Unoffical pre-release of sorts for VSH 1.56, as there is currently no ETA for it. Compiled using SourceMod 1.7.3-git5275.
This is not the complete version of 1.56, rather it is a portion of what may be included in it.

Adds missing attribute to Scorch Shot.
Fixed throwable weapons not being critboosted.
'tf_spec_xray' is set to 2 by default. Allows players to see outlines on all players regardless of their team.
