Better Crossbreeding

Improvements to RimWorld 1.6's crossbreeding mechanics. Example patch can be found at Example/Patches/Example.xml.

Allows animal crossbreeding to produce variable offspring (rather than always inheriting the mother's species), on a per-partner basis, using the following behaviours:

- Maternal: Inherits mother's species. Vanilla behaviour.
- Paternal: Inherits father's species.
- Random: Inherits either mother or father's species on a coin flip.
- Other: Child will be an entirely separate species, chosen at random from a list (with optional weighted distribution).

If crossbreeding behaviour is not defined for a pairing in the modExtension, it will default to vanilla behaviour for compatibility.

The code only checks the mother's ModExtension, so it must be defined for both species if you wish it to be mutual.

NOTE: Does nothing on its own. Only subscribe to this if you have another mod which depends on it.
