Vanilla material elasticity fixes

Description
Patches material raws to have more realistic properties. Since Dwarf Fortress's materials are assumed homogenous and isotropic, there are only two degrees of freedom for elasticity, and therefore they can be calculated using only two data points. Some metals thus have incorrect elasticity properties.

Good to know!

Nothing to weapons.

It might not be worth adding! I made this as a workshop test, as you can see by how old the first comments are.

So it makes armor slightly weaker, but what does it do to weapons?
Cool mod just wondering if it's worth putting into my game if the change is so small it's not even noticble.

so specific but i like it

@Propagating @Shyning it doesn't change the strength of these materials, just their elasticity, i.e. it changes how much they can bend before they dent permanently. For the most part, this actually makes the materials very slightly weaker as armor, but only very slightly.

@Shyning It changes Bronze, Steel, Brass, and Bismuth Bronze to more accurately reflect the level of force the material can take before bending, deforming, cracking, or shearing. It seems to make these materials slightly stronger and less likely to break if I understand the values correctly.

Could you please list the changes? I am not certain I understand what this mod does, as a newcomer. If it patches things, I would love to hear more about it!

Top DF Steam Workshop mod for a month is nothing to sneeze at!
