feat: Ground combat balance overhaul

[EttyKitty]

This PR migrated from here EttyKitty#163.

As per original description:

Intent:

• Create a definite Hierarchy for weapons including tiers and classes to ensure player has meaningful armament choice and progression in the Armamentarium for his marine's equipment.

• Rebalance damage and max kill values in line with the established hierarchy and class system.

• Balance durability for all ground units so that chapters can tackle targets as less than a doom stack.

• Create descriptive guide documentation for each weapon class so as to guide future additions. (Half way done)

Desired End-state

• Weapons are tangible choices with trade-offs that affect battle outcomes.

• Squad loadouts are more indicative of intended battlefield role (Tank hunters and Horde breakers).

Noticeable changes

• Heavy Bolter is no longer AP.
• Missile Launcher is now -1 AP. (Low Penetration)
• Add "martial" and "savage" weapon tags to enable custom stat scaling for melee attacks.
• Rewrite the melee damage formula, to account for the new tags and be less extreme in general.
• Adds functionality to boarding 1-3 tagged weapons.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.
