(svn r10541) -Fix [FS#1028]: cargo payment rates overflow.
-Fix: cargo payment rates diverge from cost rates making it impossible to make any profit after a certain number of years. Both are solved by stopping the inflation after 170 years; there is absolutely no point in continueing the inflation after that as it only makes the game have overflows at some point that cannot be solved; using larger variables only delays the inevitable.
