Patch - 1.2.7.7 Dynamic Civilian Groups (Experimental Only)

• Added an L-shaped prefab to the list of dynamic prefabs for civvies to use
• Fixed civilian walls not running some BeginPlay logic they needed
• Civvie walls now properly landscape-away trees/etc. when their base spawns
• Added basic nav check, other structure check, and 'corner traces' to civ prefab placement to improve placement
• And added a 'Tiny' prefab, so some zones that other prefabs won't fit in can still hopefully get them, but didn't hook it in (seemed too comical for the time being)
• Lowered devirtualization range by 2000uu (from 20K to 18K). Not seeing many folks complain about units 'popping out of nowhere', so wanted to drop the range a bit to boost performance
• increased the rate of 'distance checks' that the UnitMovers do to determine if they should virtualize or devirtualize (since this check seems very cheap). Performance tweaks
• Added an early 'bounding box' check when spawning civvie prefabs, to reduce the number of situations where a civvie camp spawns too close to another
• Implemented logic so civvies will use their resources (currently, 350 supplies) to purchase a stronghold position in their zone, if there is one and if they already have three regular bases claimed
• Civilian groups will now roll aggression at their creation and have wars/infighting across groups. Some groups will naturally be more aggressive now
• Civilian groups can assimilate other groups into theirs and expand their influence across zones
• Adjusted Civvies to utilize their Aggression stat (range 0.0-1.0) when calculating whether or not they should fight the player (when rep's low, it acts as a 'multiplier' to the 'attack player' roll: i.e. (1.0 + Aggression) * Roll == ModifiedRoll)
• resolved a save/load issue so that, when a dynamic civvie faction loads warfare against another dynamic civvie faction, if the other faction doesn't have their central spawner loaded yet, it can hook into a delegate for when that CentralSpawner gets set
• Quick update to some of the prefabs in Treasure Island to resolve some small discrepancies with the pre-calculated bounding boxes (likely wasn't needed, difference was past the decimal)
• Quick bounds fixes to the Presidio strongholds 5-8 in line with the new things I added from my previous commit (Efrain if you see this, don't worry, I added new stuff so I had to re-do the calculations. You're fine. :P )
• Updated the 'Offset Non-Spline Transforms' functionality for setting up Civilian prefabs to also adjust the actor's world location in the opposite direction, so you don't have to worry about 're-scooting' the actor back into position when setting up pre-placed prefabs (such as strongholds)
• Added sfx for avenger and hooked it in avenger bp

• Nothing yet
