Description

Add a specialist property to unit types. This allows a script to grant a player with a Great Person unit that may become a superspecialist if joined a city. A city founder may also carry a superspecialist. I think, more than one superspecialist per unit is not needed.

That changes city founding logic a bit, so that disbanding a city founded as size 2 as soon as it is created won't raise an error.

This is a sub-task of #1478 but does not depend on #1541.

AI handling is not included. AFAIK AI still does not add units to cities.

- Ruleload should use secfile_lookup_str_default(...nullptr...) instead of secfile_lookup_str() to not error for lack of specialist
- Unit type documentation comments in supplied rulesets, and data/ruledit/comments-3.4.txt, should be updated

Hint: Update the documentation in just one ruleset, and then run ./scripts/spec_propagate.sh

Interesting, I don't see errors, but I'll do.

Ok, I'll do it, I thought it goes to another patch.
