Templar Gauntlets For Soldiers Animation Patch

Makes regular soldiers get all the proper animations when they equip Templar Gauntlets, instead of running around with an invisible gun.
Using attitudes other than By The Book will still look silly in the armoury, but they should switch back to it any time animations are updated.

Can be configured to make the same adjustments for other weapon categories (or specific templates), which may have some niche use for modders. (I've included PZ's Psi Melee's weapon cat, although I don't think anything actually lets you equip them as primaries) (note: only works on paired weapons in the primary slot)

Additionally, does some adjusting so RPGO Universal Soldiers can equip them, and disposes of various things requiring an actual Templar to get them to appear or be upgraded.
(however, it's likely most melee RPGO specs aren't set up for gauntlets, so you may have to do some config tweaking)

Largely based on the same sort of code Primary Secondaries/etc use to update animations, so technically the heavy lifting here was done by Musashi.
