Mortar Combat

This mod adds 2 new mortar structures and 2 new mortar weapons that are craftable and usable by the player once they've researched Mortars. Additionally, this mod also adds a new raider type which will use the portable mortars against you during regular raids. These enemies will shoot mortar shells at colonists and turrets from a considerable distance, even over walls, making raiders better at dealing with turtling tactics and killboxes. These portable mortars don't have an infinite range however, and require some protection as the user is quite vulnerable while attacking.

I would like to thank Garthor for helping me with raider AI, allowing them to properly use portable mortars. Without his contribution, the mortar raiders wouldn't have been nearly as effective. Also thanks to the many others in the Rimworld discord who helped with ideas and suggestions. You are all greatly appreciated :)
