* Death Squire optional advancement and damage nerf
The existing {ENABLE_DEATH_KNIGHT} macro allows Revenants to advance to Death Knights. The newly core-ed Death Squire also advances to Death Knight, but has no {ENABLE_DEATH_SQUIRE} macro.
I suggest adding a new {ENABLE_DEATH_SQUIRE} macro, while keeping the old {ENABLE_DEATH_KNIGHT} for backwards compatibility.
I also propose reducing the Death Squire's attack from 8x4 to 9x3, to make the Revenant a more competitive advancement.
Who's the current maintainer of SotA? Should {ENABLE_DEATH_SQUIRE} be used there, or should we continue using {ENABLE_DEATH_KNIGHT}?
Hejnewar, if you approve, what cost should the Death Squire be after this change?
* Reduce Death Squire damage from 8x4 to 9x3
* Update Skele_Death_Squire.cfg

Not mentioned here, but turning on debug mode also affects which units,
and therefore which units' traits, are shown in help.
Having looked back into the history while wondering why it was done this way
in e9603e6e01, back then we needed a fix that could be backported to 1.14,
so couldn't add a new attribute to [unit_type].

This will activate the long unused female drake names list and name generator. Since drakes are a reptilian species like the naga, there is no need to create additional sprites to represent both of their sexes.
