Enable various structures to be placed more easily

Description of the proposed changes

The changes in this PR allow various units to accept higher variations in terrain. Resolves #6032.

[x] All Tech 3 Power Generators
[x] All Tech 3 Mass Fabricators
[x] All Land and Air Factories
[x] All Shield Structures
[x] All Game Enders (not necessary for the Scathis)
[x] All Tech 3 Artillieries

I will go with a value of 1.2 for Game Enders and 1.1 for all other units. If the MaxGroundVariation field is not present in the blueprint, it defaults to 1.

Testing done on the proposed changes

MaxGroundVariation = 1.1 is a reasonable and safe value, visually there is almost no difference.
MaxGroundVariation = 1.2 still reasonable, but fits some structures more than others.

Additional context

Possible since #4584, as structures do not deform the terrain underneath them as much anymore.

Checklist

[x] Changes are documented in the changelog for the next game version

@Garanas is there any point in changing the MaxGroundVariation for HQs?

Placing HQs in cheat mode should be the same as support factories and t1 factories.

Note that this change also improved the situation, it did not make it worse.

I agree with @lL1l1 , best to make them match up. All structures of an upgrade chain should have the same value
