What Does This PR Do
The stun effects on mech punches now knockdown instead. The heavy mech knockdown is 6 seconds, the light mech knockdown is 4 seconds. Mechs that didn't stun still don't knockdown.
Additionally, stamina damage equal to the brute damage dealt is now applied.
Part of the stun removal project by @hal9000PR
Why It's Good For The Game
Mech punches from combat mechs are currently a devastating, round-ending stunlock. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the combat system and its intended direction. Knockdown is still a significant effect (good luck surviving against a mecha), but at least it is possible to try and do something about it. Stamina damage was added, because getting punched by a mech probably knocks the wind out of you a little bit, and it makes mech punches remain very threatening.
Changelog

tweak: Mech punches now knock down instead of stunning, and deal stamina damage equal to brute damage dealt. Heavy combat mechs knock down for 6 seconds, light combat mechs for 4 seconds.
