Better Loading Screen (UI)

New v1.9 as of 15.04 - option to turn OFF Dawn of Men speech.

Displays detailed information about uniques on the loading screen. No more annoying laconic "unique unit". You can also turn off the Dawn of Men audio if you've heard it enough ;)

Works with the base game, Rise & Fall, Gathering Storm, CQUI, CQUI-Lite.
Language independent.

Should work with any modded civ or any other mod that adds unique items. On the screenshots:
- Real Building Upgrades (new unique buildings),
- Steel and Thunder: Unique Units (new unique units),
- CIVITAS Malaysia (a modded civ).

By default, the audio plays. To turn it OFF, go to file BetterLoadingScreen_Database.sql and change BLS_OPTION_PLAY_DOM_AUDIO parameter from '1' to '0'.

This mod works in two Lua contexts and reloading a save file from within a game may cause minor issues like missing arrow icons (you'd see [ICON_GoingToBlue] istead of arrows). When using mods it is generally safer to reload the game by going back to the main menu. This makes sure that all the mods are re-initialized properly.
