The Gauls were part of well-connected trade networks in ancient times.
Their exports mainly centered on slaves, mercenary, and military
equipment.
As such, a team bonus reducing blacksmith costs makes much more sense
than one reducing technology research time (particularly since the
historical justification for the existing team bonus was... thin).

'Hack' melee units had a preference towards Siege units. This made them
awkward to use in some fights.
PreferredClasses is not intended to remove Micro from the player's hand
but to prevent units from attacking unlikely targets (e.g. ships for
land units).
As such, this reworks PreferredClasses so that:
- Ranged & Spearmen/Pikemen (which deal Pierce damage) target Human
units, against which they are reasonably effective.
- Other units target either Human or Siege units with no particular
preference (Unit+!Ship).
This further specifies the preferred classes for all base templates for
easier modification, since extending this list (ordered by priority) is
tricky.

Techs which enabled training advanced/elite mercenaries directly also
increased the train time of those units.
It is more consistent and more maintainable to increase the train time

This does not affect promoting units since those are not trained.
Also rename and use a consistent order.

For those lucky enough to have screens with a high enough resolution to
display
a chosen civilisation's tree in its entirety, the Structure Tree page
now
determines the minimum space necessary to do so, and sizes itself
accordingly.
(e.g. The page no longer scales to fill the entire screen.)
For those on lower resolution screens, the page now takes up slightly
less space
vertically.

Formation were reshaping in cases where they should not (such as when
the controller is waiting on members).
This made them look very odd for some orders.
This also cleans up held positions for formations somewhat.
Also:
- ed54ad3486 fixed units not facing correctly after a formation-walk.
The fix is correct, but we can actually make it slightly more
self-contained by moving everything in `leave`. Also clarify comments.
- This fixes some very broken code in 4ca448a686 in
FORMATIONMEMBER.WALKING.MovementUpdate. It never errored because
formation controllers weren't moved out of the world before.
