Call a Vampire a Vampire

A fix for some of the odd little neologisms (made up words!) that plague BioTech, particularly as relates to "sanguophages." The following things have been changed.

• All references to Hemogen are replaced with Blood.
  
• All references to Sanguophages are replaced with Vampires.
  
• All references to Deathrest are replaced with Torpor.

Personally, I just don't get Tynan's obsession with painting the thinnest veneer of sci-fi over everything in the game. Anne Rice and Bram Stoker aren't going to suddenly rise from the grave and sue Tynan out of existence for copyright infringement, and putting weird names on everything doesn't make it more original. There's perfectly good words and concepts for all of the things related to sanguophages in BioTech, so I figured I would just make a big XML patch to change it all.

Install XML Extensions! There's an optional compatibility patch which will recognize XML Extensions is installed and allow you to change the proper names and adjectives from Sanguophage, Hemogenic, Bloodfeed, Deathrest, etc. to whatever you want.

The one caveat is that there is no nice way built into the game to modify the translation language files once it's running, short of using code to transpile a bunch of strings in a messy way. As a result, a small number of references to "Deathresting" in the UI can't be changed in this version unless you edit the Language file directly in the mods folder. Since a lot of people were commenting that they really liked the term "Deathrest" anyway, I figured it's better to release the other capability than stress about this a ton.
