MOGG - GL (Dairy) - Mustelids

This introduces updated mustelids (weasels, badgers, otters and more) and their diary products, to Mammals of Gluttony and Greed.

As usual, every creature has at least four preferences and all names for gender, juveniles and collateral adjective. They produce mustelid's milk and mustelid cheese which can be described as "musty" (I couldn't help myself, and I don't know that weasel cheese wouldn't be musty). I also noticed that some biomes were missing from the traditional ranges of stoats and wolverines so stoats now also appear in any temperate forest, temperate shrubland and mountains, and wolverines can appear in glacier and tundra biomes.

Based on actually knowing people who have raised otters or looked after them in a zoo, I went with their terminology for males and females, which is backed up by most peer reviewed sources I could find. I will be releasing* a prude patch for them as I did with dogs, for people who would prefer more sanitised terminology. This wasn't a decision to be obnoxious; a lot of the mustelid terms are quite generic, so I wanted to include as much variety as was backed up by common language usage, rather than name them all sow/boar and pup.

Due to their variation in size, all prefix types are available to mustelid dairy (normal, exotic and luxury) and wolverines and sea otters are big enough to be relatively productive, plus none of them are grazing animals, so there is an advantage there. However they all have the 5x penalty to milk production I have given to all non-traditional dairy mammals, so they will be no replacement for goats, cows, etc. Mink, stoats and weasels all produce luxury milk, as unless you make them immortal, they can only be milked once.

Adding mustelids has inspired me to do something a little different for the next mod I add, but first I'll be taking a break and actually playing the game with my mods for a while.

Esoterica:
- Unlike most other mustelids, the collective adjective for otters is "lutrine".
- Honey badgers and wolverines have some of the highest bite force to body size ratios in the animal kingdom, somewhat reflected in the game by the physical bonus they get when going into a rage.
- The term for a female wolverine is an "angeline".
