Torches: Reduce light source level from 13 to 12

As part of the original plan for a new lightcurve. With the old lightcurve lights were so dim all light sources had light source level 13 or 14 to compensate, resulting in almost no difference between torchlight and a maximum brightness light. The new lightcurve makes all light sources effectively much brighter by spreading visually-bright light further, torches are now slightly too bright. So now we can reduce the light source level of torches while actually making them effectively brighter than with the old lightcurve. This also creates a desirable difference between torchlight and a maximum-brightness light source.
