MaxRavenclaw's Vanilla FOTS Unit Stats Fixes (Reload animations and times) + Spencers for US Marines

Alternate, more sensible version of this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3409314292

In the original I just kept the models and change the behavior of the unit to match the weapons with which they were equipped. But then I figured out how to change gun models on the units so I did that. I was considering giving the US Marines the actual repeating rifle projectile type, which would have made them quicker to reload than the other Marines, but that would have also led to an increase to their range to 150 (see Tosa Riflemen). Anyway, I guess this is fine. Now the Marines have the exact same stats they had in Vanilla but just use an actual US gun instead of the British Enfield Pattern 1861 Musketoon they were using in Vanilla.

The rest of the changes are the same as the original mod:


Imperial, Shogunate, and Republican Line Infantry
Gave these three proper breech-loading animations. They all use Sniders, but their man_animations_table was set to a muzzle-loading animation, which limited their minimum reload time. They did get the correct default_missile_type value which means their base reload time was fairly quick, to the point where reload skill didn't really matter for these units. Now they no longer fiddle with the muzzles of their breech-loading rifles in combat.
Also fixed ammo count for Shogunate Line Infantry to 15 from 20. Boshin_Inf_Line_Shogunate_Infantry for some reason had 20 ammo, while the Republican and Imperial Line Infantry only had 15. Otherwise these three appear to be identical.

Kihetai
Gave Kihetai proper breech-loading animations. They use Sniders, but their default_missile_type was set to a value normally assigned to muzzle-loading rifles, which meant they had a very long base reload time. They did get the correct man_animations_table value which means they technically did use breech-loading animations, except they took their sweet time until their reload skill got super high. Now they don't fiddle with their breeches as much. This means they're probably super OP right now for the price.
