Gothic 1 Remake Permanent Bonuses

Every permanent stat gain in the Colony: potions, orc medicine, quest rewards, craftables and two Xardas restocks. Attribute points from these never cost Learning Points, so each one you skip is LP spent at a trainer instead. Patches 1.02 and 1.03 moved several without patch notes; version tags below track what we know.
