Regional Enemies - HLM patch

This patch allows Home of the Lost Monsters to work with my Regional Enemies mod. Basically, vanilla common enemies spawned from HLM will be swapped with my regional variants. More specifically:

• Regional cultists will now appear in Weald and Cove
  
• Regional skeletons will appear in Weald and Cove

This latest updates includes a couple of significant changes:

HLM recycles one of the enemies from the Sudden Crew boss battle. Since it's contrary to the main goal of my Regional Enemy mods, which is to reduce asset flipping, I removed this enemy entirely and replaced it with my "Drowned Crewman".

The other change was done to the "flesh" type of monsters introduced by HLM, namely:

• Flesh Vile
  
• Flesh Vanguard
  
• Flesh Flayer
  
• Head Hoarder

These monsters will still spawn in the Warrens, but no longer will they accompany any swine. This to me was also immersion breaking for another reason: these creatures appear to be derived from the vanilla boss "Formless Flesh". In the lore, Formless Flesh hunts and consumes the swine and fought the Swine King almost to the death. So even though it inhabits the Warrens, the swine are terrified of it. They are not allied factions.

As such, these new "flesh" variants will spawn either with each other as a true faction, or with mindless critters such as maggots, burrow worm, or carrion eaters. They can also spawn with my Devoured Acolyte and Ravaged Brawler to imply that the "flesh" creatures were trying to chase them down before we run into the group. After all, these new errant "flesh" variants have human parts so we can assume they consume and integrate humans into themselves instead of pigs.

NOTE: Gameplay to fight the Head Hoarder has not changed, you still need to follow the rules established in the original mod. The only difference is that the "flesh" no longer spawn with swine.

Hard requirements:

• Regional Enemies
  
• Regional Acolytes
  
• Regional Brawlers
  
• Regional Skeletons
  
• The Home for Lost Monsters
