Add SpecificNames to the Germanic units

The names are in Proto-Germanic and mostly taken from Wiktionary. They can be confirmed by directly searching the individual Proto-Germanic terms online. Champion Cavalry: "Aþalaridjô" (noble+rider) Cavalry Spearman: "Gaizaridjô" (spear+rider) Cavalry Javelineer: "Skeutaridjô" (quick+rider) Worker: "Būraz" (dweller, farmer) -- deliberately decided against the most literal translation, which would be "Arbijaz", because that seems to be more connected to serfdom and the unit rather represents a generic commoner. Infantry Swordsman: "Swerdamannaz" (sword+man) Infantry Spearman: "Gaizamannaz" (spear+man) Infantry Clubman: "Kulbawigô" (staff/club+warrior) Infantry Javelineer: "Gaizawerpanaz" (spear/javelin+thrower) Infantry Slinger: "Slingwanaz" (swinger/slinger) Scout Ship: "Skeutabaitaz" (quick+boat) Fishing Boat: "Fiskārijaz" (fisherman) Fire Ship: "Brandabaitaz" (fire+boat) Arrow Ship: "Harjaskipą" (army/war+ship) Wagon: "Wagnaz" (direct translation) Priest: "Gudjô" (direct translation) Ram: "Rammabagmaz" (strong+tree/beam) Trader: "Kaupô" (direct translation, also part of the word used for the market) Merchant(ship): "Mangārī" (direct translation, very similar to "Kaupô")
