Back by popular demand; patch requested by @borg-. This gives the "War
Dog" Kennel building back to the Britons. Previously removed in Alpha
24. Its removal widely lamented since then.
War Dogs removed from the Briton Stable as a consequence.

This mixin is genericized in order to be useful for other units if
desired. It adds a splash attack, but removes some regular attack to
balance. With this, a champion or other unit can be easily
differentiated. In this instance, it is applied to the Macedonians'
champion swordsman, the Thracian Black Cloak. These guys use the very
long Rhomphaia and Sika swords of Thraco-Dacian origin.

Celtic women were famous for their ferocity and aggressiveness against
enemies and it was common for them to fight alongside men in battles,
especially if the battle had been lost, the women being a strong last
line of defense.

Reduce prepare time for catapults and bolt shooters. Catapults have
recently been nerfed and buffed with a small splash attack. Bolt
shooters are a little underutilized. Both of these units share a
'clunkiness' which is due to their pack/unpack time, minimum range, and
long prepare time. This patch hopes to address part of this clunkiness
by decreasing the prepare time for catas and bolt shooters. This makes
the unit seem more responsive to new commands to attack a different
unit/structure.

Druids increase attack rates of soldiers near them slightly. This
fulfills a decade+ design element in the old Celtic civ design profiles.

Attempts to address Invalid warning messages for capturable farmsteads
and creates a mixin as suggested by @Langbart
Renames the "farmsteads_" template files to "mill_" to eliminate
confusion with standard buildable farmsteads and changes the refs in the
skirmish maps to suit.
Genericizes the name to Rotary Mill instead of Farmstead, again to
eliminate confusion between the two (the former is a capturable map
object, while the latter is a player-buildable structure).

Catapults and heavy warships received a nerf to their range, which was
also designed to stop infinite targeting of structures outside of vision
range. This was a substantial nerf, from 100 range to 85. This change
compensates for this range reduction by slightly improving their
versatility.
This is not the same splash we have seen in previous alphas, as it is
only a radius of one meter. It also makes them exciting as you could
land some epic shots if your enemy is very tightly bunched.

With the change to the Spartan bonus, it is interesting to add +10%
health to the hoplite tradition tech.
The hoplites dominated warfare for a long time, and it is fair to keep
this bonus somehow.

When playing a network game with at least one AI, and an AI dies, after
a while there will be an increasing lag on the system, eventually
freezing the screen for e.g. 4 seconds every 5 seconds.
It turned out that once the AI is dead, the savedEvents grew endlessly.
Causing issues down the line (hashing).
That is now fixed by discarding savedEvents when the AI is defeated.

This differentiates Sparta by giving them P1 champions, a Hero-oriented
team bonus and a new unit.
Sparta should rely heavily on their extremely powerful melee infantry,
hence the focus is on that with choice and upgrade.
