Reduce income_10 cost 30k→22.5k and income_11 80k→60k (25% cut each)
to ease the late-prestige runestone cliff without collapsing the timeline.

Change prestige milestone bonus from linear (n×25) to quadratic (n²×25)
so high-prestige milestones feel meaningful (P100 = 10k stones).

Replace linear prestige combat multiplier (1 + count×0.1) with exponential
(4^count) in both the tick engine and server-side boss route. Without this
the final boss (2×10^145 HP) was unreachable by ~112 orders of magnitude;
base-4 makes it achievable around P190, consistent with the 6-month target.
