This commit is a starting point for generalizing skill Items. I think the 'source' field is a great idea but overloading it to also indicate that a skill is psychic limits its usefulness going forward. For instance a custom psychic skill with a source other than "Revised" could not be added without a loss of data. By adding another field for psychic skills we also no longer have to string compare against 'source' to calculate effort.

I noticed the migration that had been written to change from "psychic" to "Psionic." This commit labels the skills "Psychic." This is based on a search of the core book. It is definitely inconsistent though! There are 45 instances of "psychic skill" and 6 instances of "psionic skill." To be fair it is also true that "Psionic Skills" is used as a sub-section heading. Let me know if you want me to change the naming to "Psionic" instead.
