Implemented and pushed in 8d089d6.

The interceptor's Thrusters upgrade (int_speed, scaling that one vessel type's own top speed) was redundant now that fleet speed is a single global multiplier via the space-time distorder (#59/#62/#70) - it created confusing, hard-to-reason-about double-scaling and had no clear place in the new mental model. Removed the upgrade resource and its ExtResource reference from InterceptorVesselDefinition.tres (and the equivalent, already-unused one on ShieldVesselDefinition.tres), and deleted InterceptorSpeedUpgrade.tres/ShieldSpeedUpgrade.tres outright.

Updated tests/test_ship_lab.gd, which had asserted a 4th visible upgrade card for the interceptor - now correctly asserts 3.

Tests: tests/test_ship_lab.gd (bash tests/run_tests.sh ship_lab).
