[L4D2] Balance changes

We're trying to balanced the difficulty more for smaller 4-8 player games to be closer to default difficulty while dramatically increasing SI encounters for bigger games without overloading tank spawns on every corner. We realized this is a positive change for some situation as it makes bigger games much more interesting and challenging but can be overly challenging for smaller games especially for newer players.

• Tank random spawn rate reduced. (5% -> 3%) [Does NOT affect director/campaign spawns]
  
• Min SI spawns increased by 1 but still maintain 2player:1SI ratio(eg. 4players-3SI, 6p-4SI,..., 20p-11SI)
  
• Certain mods will be disabled due to performance issues like notably using primary weapons while incapacitated will be disabled until further notice
  
• Due to inactivity and higher than usual usage of infectedCoop, server #8 VS will be changed to infectedCoop
  
• Due to recent update breaking 8player coop sessions, all coop servers will be reverted to the usual 20player servers (will be session based for the first 4 players as usual)

We're aware of a serious memory leak issue affecting some high activity servers notably #2 which usually runs the whole day. We're highly suspecting it's due to the shop plugin and may without warning disable it for testing. Please understand that we're trying to fix all performance issues to ensure you get the best experience possible no matter how long a server has been running.
