[RF] Tribal Pawn Names [a19]

This mod overhauls tribal pawn naming. Why? Well, the tribal names in the game have always felt a bit… "off" to me. It’s probably nothing more than my own unfamiliarity with the cultures from which the names are drawn, but I always thought they seemed a bit more "Spanish" than tribal.

The changes made by the mod are as follows:

– Tribal pawn names are now Native American in style. (I drew the names from online "Native American baby names" lists, by the way, which I’m well aware mix and match names from many different nations, and also feature many inauthentic names. But while they have many flaws, they provided the sort of names I was looking for. No disrespect to actual Native Americans is intended.)

– Tribal pawn nicknames can now include various adjectives, terrain features, weapons and the like. So you might run into a tribal pawn named Vengeful Weasel, for example, or Deadly Scythe.

– Since tribal names don’t follow a "personal name followed by family name" pattern, anyway, the game no longer forces tribal pawns to share last names if they’re related.

– Pets in tribal factions will now be given tribal-style names rather than colonist-style names.

(This mod was originally going to be a complete overhaul of RimWorld’s pawn naming system, similar to what I did with "Editable Backstories." I started working on it well over a year ago, but never quite finished it, and along the way, the "Names Galore" mod came out, doing most of what I wanted to do with the colonist name database, anyway. I eventually decided to trim my "work in progress" down to just the tribal pawn name changes, resulting in the mod you see here.)
