Warn about perishable scalers and rental money jokers at buy time

Browse Source 
Per-instance sticker cautions, unlike the per-joker CAUTIONS table: the
same joker is a fine buy without the sticker. Perishable debuffs a joker
for good after 5 rounds (Card:calculate_perishable, card.lua:2652), so a
perishable Ride the Bus or Hologram is investment about to be wiped --
the new SCALERS set in synergies.lua lists the jokers whose stored gains
die that way, excluding computed (Bull) and round-scoped (Hit the Road)
values and Egg, whose sell value survives a debuff. Rental charges
every round (card.lua:2647), which can eat a money joker's whole payout.

The scaler-key integrity test caught j_canio for j_caino on the first
run -- the misspelled vanilla keys strike again.
