Speed Comparision

Flipped the speed of Copper Rails and Gold Powered Rails so that Copper Rails are the vanilla speed, and Gold Powered Rails are twice as fast. I found this to fit the resource difference better (copper is far more abundant and an early game item, gold is rarer)
Renamed vanilla Powered Rails to Gold Powered Rails
Made both the recipes for the Copper Powered Rails and Gold Powered Rails result in 12 rails
Removed oxidizing rails as I find the mechanic too unncessary and burdensome

1.21.2+

1.21.2 and onwards seems to have a bug where on ascending Gold Powered Rails, there's about a 50% chance the minecart shoots backwards. Unsure of how to fix this at the moment. If anyone has any suggestion, I'll be sure to credit you.

So this mod will currently only be available on 1.20.X - 1.21.1
