Compatibility Patch - Erin's Au Ra and Variety Matters

Description
Patches Erin's Au Ra race mod's incompatibility with Variety Matters Improved by giving each race a unique label. This means that the Raen and Xaela variations of Au Ra will be labeled as Au Ra Raen and Au Ra Xaela respectively.

The only reason this is needed is because the mod settings screen for Variety Matters Improved throws an exception if it finds two races that have the same label. That mod isn't technically required to use this one, but there's very little point otherwise, unless you would just prefer the Au Ra to have their tribe name as part of their label.

@Danroak: Yeah using Replace was the right approach for the Rim-Hivers patch. Well done.

I used Remove and Add for this patch because Erin set up both Au Ra sub-races to use a single parent def, which is where she placed the label. I had to remove the label from the parent def and place separate labels under each of the two child defs with the different labels.

I made Rim-Hiver patch. Thanks a ton for teaching me how to do it. Ended up using replacer operation instead but would've been lot harder/confusing to do without you point me to right direction. Figured I'd hopefully return the favor for your next playthrough. (Since I am using yours for the au ra for my playthrough as well. XD)

Yeah I figured that might be the issue (regular/savage hivers) but just didn't want to start touching stuff in case things broke etc. I might try to patch it locally myself in the mean time. Thanks for the help and for this patch!

@Danroak: The only part that needs to be patched to work alongside Variety Matters Improved is the label for each race, to ensure that there's no duplication. In the case of the Rim-Hivers mod, the regular hivers and the savage hivers have the same labels, so that's the root of the issue.

I actually plan to use Rim-Hivers in my next playthrough and hadn't noticed this issue yet, so I'll definitely be creating a patch for it in the near future. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Hey...would it be possible to get similar patch for https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2506643795&searchtext=rimworld+hiver+kenshi by any chance? If not can you tell me exactly what part you did to patch it so I can do it myself? Thanks for your time!
