Subject: [PATCH] docs(fifa17): record discard economy validation evidence and
 impact

Adds scripts/fifa17-discard-impact.py (owned-instance economic impact, computed
from the shipped implementation's matrix -- informational, never a reason to
alter a value) and records the measured results.

Owned club, 1993 instances: legacy 1,820,700 -> recovered 19,128,031 = 10.51x.
Players 10.53x, manager 1.88x, consumables 0.19x (the ladder overpaid them ~5x),
staff 0.24x, club items 900 -> 0.

+"""Economic impact of the recovered discard table, over OWNED instances.
+
+Informational only: it exists to make the promotion decision explicit, never to
+justify altering a value. Values come from the matrix emitted by
+`cargo run -p openfut-adapter-fifa17 --example discard_matrix`, i.e. the shipped
+implementation.
+
+Usage:
+    python3 scripts/fifa17-discard-impact.py --matrix /tmp/discard-matrix.csv
