Tabled list of goals.txt

[WesW]

I have written out the goals.txt in a tabular form so that we can compare how the values for each setting change from one goal to the next. Hopefully this can enable us to see how the settings affect AI behavior.
If those of you who have been experimenting would paste in versions of the table showing the changes you have made to the file, and a summary of the changes you have observed, then perhaps we can figure some things out.
