Removed Files:
src/doors/clans-src/src/mstrings.h
Log Message:
Make strings.txt the single source of truth for language strings.

Previously developers had to manually keep data/strings.txt and
src/mstrings.h in sync. Now:

- langcomp accepts an optional third argument and auto-generates
mstrings.h as a side effect of compiling strings.xl
- strings.txt embeds the ST_MACRONAME token on each line so the
macro names live alongside the strings themselves
- data/GNUmakefile passes the header path to langcomp when building
strings.xl, regenerating mstrings.h automatically
- src/GNUmakefile gains a mstrings.h target that calls native langcomp
directly (NATIVEEXEFILE = .$(os).$(mach).$(FLAVOUR)), avoiding the
recursive-make cycle that arose when delegating to data/GNUmakefile
- ERRORBASE moved from mstrings.h to defines.h since it is a compile-
time constant, not a generated string offset
- Two previously missing strings (ST_T2MENUSTAT3 id=163,
ST_FMENUNOAFFORD id=435) added to strings.txt; these were silent
bugs outputting empty strings
- docs/todo.txt reformatted to developer doc standard and a cleanup
note added for the mstrings.h GNUmakefile dependencies

Convert data/*.hlp from CRLF to LF (todo [1.10])

rputs() expands '\n' to '\n\r' itself, so help files passed through it
should use LF only. CRLF caused a spurious '\r' to be sent before each
newline on Unix. Converts all 15 remaining .hlp files; empire.hlp and menus.hlp were already corrected in earlier commits.

Move reset help text from standalone file into the PAK archive, aligning

Log Message:
Add Charisma follower recruitment bonus and rebalance training cost

Charisma now has a second mechanical use: leaders attract bonus followers
from mine raids based on the formula cap = |cha| * (N+10) / 100, where N is
the base follower count. A triangle-distributed roll (or guaranteed ñ1 for small caps) adds natural variance. Negative Charisma (from items/spells)
acts as a penalty by the same magnitude.

The training cost is lowered from 40 TP to 15 TP, making it competitive
with other attributes (Agility/Dexterity/Wisdom), addressing the cost
signal problem where only the clan leader's Charisma counts (making naive analysis think it's 4x as valuable).

Updates:
- Add ST_FIGHTCHABONUS and ST_FIGHTCHAPENALTY strings
- Implement bonus/penalty calculation in Fight_GiveFollowers()
- Lower TCost[5] from 40 to 15
- Update release/player.txt and data/stats.hlp documentation
- Remove completed todo.txt item [1.1]

All 288 tests pass (173 unit + 115 integration).

Print "impressed by your battles" (base count) first, then the charisma bonus/penalty line (indented, no >> prefix), then conscription (only if non-zero). Split ST_FIGHTOVER1 into two strings so the charisma line
can appear between the "impressed" and "recruited" lines.
