Updated some player career histories which I missed.

General Updates:
- ** Increased NHL club contract limit to 60, this is due to the game lacking the ability to NOT count players signed to ELCs but assigned to juniors from counting against the 50 contract limit (some teams have close to 10 players assigned to junior teams at the start of the 2018-19 season). Increasing this so human/AI GMs don't have to waive/cut players immediately. If I find a way to implement this will revert back to 50.
- Fixed SHL/Allsvenskan relegation issue (I hope for the final time), thanks Shark Fin!
- Increased roster size limit to 30 from 23 for WHL, QMJHL and OHL clubs
- Updated Quebec Bantam AAA clubs
- Added transfer rules for Maritime Hockey League (MJAHL), copied QMJHL, league can now use player rights
- Added transfer rules for Manitoba Junior Hockey League (MJHL), copied WHL, league can now use player rights
- Added transfer rules for Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL), copied WHL, league can now use player rights
- Added transfer rules for Greater Metro Hockey League (GMHL), copied OHL, league can now use player rights
- Added transfer rules for Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL), copied OHL, league can now use player rights
-- I understand that adding player rights to these leagues doesn't do anything special without an attached draft (which I cannot add), but at least it will mean players will have accurate rights and it may lead to some more player movement in the first few years of the sim.
