Some range-2 neighbourhoods are named inconsistently from their LtL/HROT specifications #6

The roadmap for rule table functionality contains an 8-cell neighbourhood called a range 2 von Neumann neighbourhood and a 12-cell neighbourhood called a range 2 diamond neighbourhood. This specification is different from what is currently implemented in Golly, as the range-2 von Neumann neighbourhood there corresponds to the "diamond" neighbourhood, and the 8-cell neighbourhood is instead a range-2 cross neighbourhood.

Have edited the wiki to clarify this but it may be worth also renaming and repointing the files used.
