Issue #32323: Nick Valentine stops matching player level after level 99

 
Steps to reproduce:
  1. Gain xp past Level 100
  2. Recruit Nick Valentine as a companion
  3. Recruit one other vanilla companion for comparison
  4. Compare levels of both companions

Expected Results:
Both companions (all vanilla companions) have the same level, matching the player

Actual Result:
Nick stops levelling past 99

Fix:
Nick is, like other companions, set to PC Level Mult x 1, but inexplicably the default Fallout 4 record has his Calc Max Level set to 99, whereas all other companions, it is set to 0 and thus unbounded.

A Level 99 Nick still kicks ass, so this is hardly game breaking, but for those playing at very high levels, they may notice him being downed more, or in mods where companions are mortal, this starts to become more of a problem.
