Summary

Mods "[DinoMod] Reattach sauropod legs"

Purpose of change

Realism, bugfix

Describe the solution

Assigns mtype correctly to all monster variants that use the new sauropod legs
Creates a new OR condition group for all of those same monster variants
Changes inheritance for small burned zombie sauropods and removes some duplication
Cleans up special attack for the biggest sauropods so that they spawn legs correctly and don't stomp with their faces
Cleans up special attacks for the smallest sauropods so they don't inherit giant comical legs

Describe alternatives you've considered

Also add support for the late game sauropod mutations but that's better handled in another PR IMO
Create a scorched zombie sauropod leg and EOC chain, probably the best approach but a bigger change than this bug fix is looking to do. At this time I don't think anything in the mod spawns adult scorched sauropod zombies so it's a pretty niche thing for players to see. There could be a burned stream variant special that spawned them.
Instead of duplicating EOC content for each monster species, figure out a complicated OR chain to check for each possible dino. Couldn't make that work with manual linting. Not sure if code was also bad.

Testing

Initial testing is not entirely encouraging. It looks like I missed some mtype_id groups in the first version of the special attacks update

WIP

Additional context

Thanks again to Ifailatgaming on Discord for reporting that legs on some sauropods were running away comically
