Fix consumer subscription pricing exploit with perceived-value-based elasticity

Players could set astronomical prices and still retain subscribers because price elasticity floored at 10% for any price above $100, satisfaction ignored pricing entirely, and churn had no price component. Introduces perceived value per tier (model quality × reputation), replaces the broken linear formula with sigmoid decay, adds price-aware satisfaction blending, and applies per-tier price-based churn multipliers.
