[Cs5500] strengthening

[Madhuvanthi Balasubramanian]

Haoran,

Ideally, you could strengthen by any value, but using this expression
"claim.getQuality() - scg_cfg.getMinStrengthening()" lets the avatars learn
by improving the quality in small increments, and also prevents them from
strengthening with an invalid quality. I believe this could be the idea
behind having this expression to calculate quality.
