Cut extra icon and lua code for 'stun' weapon special.
An identical copy was already moved to core by #7323 and stun in UtBS was removed long ago anyway.
I changed some of the lines in NR The Pursuit to fit better with the different characters. Tallin, Abhai, Krash, etc.
I did not do it for every dialogue.
Addresses issues #8319 and #8772

In EI S11, the player encounters an orcish warlord named Dra-Nak. If not killed in S11, he continues pursuing the player in S12, but the current S12 gives him different traits and a different portrait. This PR fixes the issue.
EI's S17b has a gold refund mechanic, allowing enemies to build up large gold reserves in certain situations.
When gold gets high, enemies are supposed to start recruiting higher-level units so they can spend it faster. The former implementation had some inconsistent issues; this should restore the intended behavior.
In EI's S99, you gain gold from defeating and capturing hostile drakes. The drakes are physically moved to prison cells in the middle of the map.
Previously, the player could continue capturing drakes even if the prison cells were captured by enemies. This made it a strong strategy to abandon the center and turtle up in a corner of the map. Additionally, the prison cells stayed locked with prisoners inside.
This PR fixes this issue. This also adds 2 new strings; I'm planning to backport to 1.18.2, as this is arguably a bugfix.
EI's S11 and S99 have prison cells, one of which has an unintended backdoor entrance via an unwalkable deep water river. Flying units are involved in these scenarios, and can possibly fly into the cells through this unintended backdoor.
This PR changes the map hexes from unwalkable to impassable.
Owaec has a crown but little other indicator that he's a leader, and this scenario requires him to be used to recruit. Make it more obvious to the player.
Formerly, EI S13 uses various Deathblades' max-moves status instead of [filter_second] for some reason. This breaks when deathblades get rebuild, which in the bug report was caused by the sentinel shield. Use [filter_second] instead.
Resolves#8969
In EI S10, Dacyn picks up a cursed amulet and his HP drops to 1. In EI S11, Dacyn remains on very low HP, and is surrounded by orcs. There's a convenient ford hex he can hide on and be protected, but several players did not notice this hex and complained about difficulty.
In S10, this commit also drops his XP to 0. 1) showing that the amulet interferes with his MoL-ing, and 2) preventing the player from deliberately AMLA-ing Dacyn in the next scenario (partially a difficulty issue, but mostly it's bad to punish blind playthroughs / reward foreknowledge).
In S11, this commit adds a gold pile on Easy/Normal hinting towards the hex, while on Easy Dacyn's HP is fully restored. Hard is unaffected.
In S12, this commit restores Dacyn's HP on Easy (since it would be odd if he had full HP S11 but low HP S12).

EI's S10 is overly hard on Normal, and especially on Easy (which is intended to be a very accessible difficulty). This PR increases the available gold and adds several villages, which aid in both defense and upkeep. This PR also drastically reduces the number of orcs on lower difficulties.
We also move Owaec to his keep to help imply his ability to recruit, and remove the related just-added [note] string to avoid violating 1.18.1 string freeze.
