Health & Plague for BNW

Adds a new Health yield that can boost city growth, and Plagues that can spread through the world, devastating cities and units in their wake. Cities convert Health it into food (postive health increases city food stores, negative health reduces city food stores). Cities with negative Health are also more likely to spawn and spread Plagues.

New Features for Brave New World version:
* A new summary Health Screen available through the Diplo Corner dropdown.
* If a civilization has ever been plagued, their spies (not Diplomats) have a small chance to initiate a plague when placed in foreign cities.
* A civilization can cure all its plagued cities by constructing an Academy with a Great Scientist.
* Several health-focused religious beliefs
* International Trade routes are very likely to propagate plagues
* Large Tourism can reduce a city’s health.
* Stagnant cities can no longer grow from surplus health food conversion.


Mod Mechanics
* City Health is based on access to fresh water, local resources, population, tourism, local features and buildings.
* Overall Empire Health magnifies local City Health, and is based on acquired Technologies and Policies, Happiness, International Trade Routes and Difficulty.
* Plagues always begin in cities with the lowest Health, and can quickly spread to nearby cities.
* Plagues can spread faster along roads and sea routes, but slower across international borders.
* Plagued cities are very likely to lose citizens to the disease, and heal much more slowly if attacked.
* Units near plagued cities will take damage each turn, and may get the Diseased Promotion.
* World size, game speed, difficulty, and era all effect how fast and how far plagues will spread.
* Plagues tend to peak in the Medieval Era and get less severe in modern eras.
