Improve upgrade card dealing and shuffling

The basic upgrade system and the breaking of the learned skills into tiny pieces makes for more options and the element of chance is fun. However, there is a lot of frustration because you keep getting the same cards over and over again.

I suggest that the algorithm for dealing/reshuffling be changed to skip cards which have just been dealt. The card(s) dealt would still be random, but not all with the same weight.

Specifically:
- on reshuffle, don't deal any of the same cards just rejected
- don't deal multiple of the same card at once
- weight cards by how (least) recently they were last dealt

I realize that the last one would require keeping track of a lot more information, so if that's too much even the first two suggestions would be a big improvement.
