Base game keywords

Warning: This mod is still in its early stages and is more a proof of concept than a completed mod. Feel free to comment any issues you may find in it.

This mod adds a variety of keywords to the base game and modifies base game symbols and items descriptions to use those keywords. The objective of this is to reduce the size of many descriptions and clarify the difference between similar effects, as well as to make certain descriptions more accurate to what the item/symbol actually does in-game.

The keywords added are:
- Animal ("animal" group)
- Best friend ("doglike" group)
- Bird ("bird" group)
- Capsule ("capsule" group)
- Creature ("organism" group)
- Decay
- Eat
- Farm ("farmerlikes" group)
- Food ("food" group)
- Fruit ("fruit" group)
- Gem ("geem" group)
- Grow
- Haunted
- Hex ("hex" group)
- Hoard
- Human ("human" group)
- Indestructible
- Occult ("fossillikes" group)
- Pepper ("pepper" group)
- Plant ("plant" group)
- Remove
- Self-destruct
- Underwater ("poslikes" group)

To view the keyword's reminder text, hover over the dictionary symbol near the keyword in the description.

Special thanks to @DanielDavidGuy for the dictionary icon and for the idea of how to implement keywords in the game.

The following items were not changed, despite having abilities that could use the above keywords:
- Adoption papers, Capsule machine, Lunchbox and Time machine, as their effects stop working properly if modded with the current API.
- All essences, as the game would crash during startup with the current API.

Known Issues:
- Some symbols will not display the bonuses gained by essences. This seems to be only visual and they still give the proper coins in my testing.
- Many mods will overwrite the descriptions provided by this mod if they change any base game symbol or item. This is partially intentional, as I have no way to know if the mod in question changed something in the symbol/item's effect.
- The descriptions from this mod will overwrite descriptions even in languages other than English. I have limited language knowledge to be able to provide accurate descriptions and keywords in other languages.
