[Mod] More Upgrade Variety

• Many cards now have more than 2 possible upgrade variations.
• More than 2 choices can be available when you enter the upgrade screen (depending on the total variations a card has).
• Not satisfied? You can use the Reset button to set the card back in XP in exchange for changing the choices next time.

Can you guess the difference between the two following snippets of code:

self.card:ResetUpgrades()

local card = self.card
card:ResetUpgrades()

The answer is that the first one crashes.

I am thoroughly flummoxed, but since the second one just works, I will let it be.
