Add missing Norse skirmish replacements

AlexanderOlkhovskiy commented 8 years ago

Replacements are based on comments in "Faction: Norse" forum topic (https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/topic/17918-faction-norse):

ship_trireme: Drekar template is based on trireme
corral: "Farmstead (merged with corral)"
defense tower: "Outpost (stronger version, since the Vikings don't have Defence Towers)"
fortress: "Jarl's Hold (combination of CC and Fortress)"
walls: "Palisades (Improved, stronger versions of the standard palisade) (since Vikings don't have stone walls)"; since palisades have different footprints, they can't be used as replacement for walls, so walls are just omitted in the same way as it's done for Spartans in 0 A.D.

The advantage of these replacements is obvious: it allows to use Norse on wider range of skirmish maps (including ones designed for 0 A.D.). I can't think of any disadvantages.

I didn't discuss these changes with any Millennium A.D. developers, so this pull request is a change/discussion proposal.

<...> most (if not all) skirmish maps only use the CC and the standard starting units

Yeah, this seems to be the case for bundled 0 A.D. maps. I noticed the missing replacements because a couple of errors (with trireme and walls) were reported in a blogpost (http://my0ad.blogspot.ru/2016/02/blog-post.html), apparently they occurred on a custom map.

Ah, I see. Luckily Google Translate was there to help me fiddling out what's going on. (Someone tell him that those lines mark your territory :P)
