New EU4 governments

[IohannesIohannium]

As mentioned in the Development Diary, EU4 is gonna lose its many governments and having them merged alltogether, as the only difference will be in "reforms" and "absolutism". The old system should still be supported (in case of old-patched saves) and used any time the file is found to be pre-1.26

Such system would allow a better conversion to Vic2 governments and political reforms, if applied.

• EU Monarchy, EU Tribal --> (Absolute Monarchy)/(Prussian Const.)/(HM's Gov.)
• EU Republic --> (Democracy)/(Pres. Dict.)/(Bourg. Dict.)
• EU Theocracies --> Theocracy

The monarchical reforms have been revealed:

• Feudalism vs Autocracy: this should lead to upper house policy and type of monarchy
• Hereditary Nobility: this should lead, maybe, to trade unions policy
• Bureaucracy: this should lead to political parties policy
• Growth of Administration: this should lead to upper house composition policy
• Deliberative Assembly: this should lead to voting franchise policy
• Absolute Rule vs Constitutional: this should lead to the type of monarchy
• Separation of Powers: this should lead to press rights and public meetings policies

Yeah, good ideas. Some could also change pop compositions - we could add clergy for clergy in Administration within Bureaucrats for instance.

Seeing Republic reforms:

• Oligarchy vs Merchantry vs Nobility: trade union policy
• Republican Virtues: public meetings policies
• Elections frequency: political parties policies
• Federalism vs others: type of republican regime
• Parliamentary vs Presidential: upper house composition
• Consolidation of Power: (none)
• Guiding Principles: press rights
• Electorate: voting system
• Office selections: voting franchise
• Question of Dictatorship: type of republican regime (again)

Seeing Theocratic reforms, which convert to the government of theocracy:

• Leadership: voting franchise (although no voting actually)
• Internal vs External Mission: trade union policy
• Divine Cause: press rights
• Clergy in Administration: upper house composition
• Secularize: voting system

Seeing Tribal reforms, which convert to the government of absolute_monarchy, yet with voting franchise of "Only Landed" (to simulate the clans):

• Tribal Administration: upper house composition
• Cultural Values: press rights
• Religion vs Secular: trade union policy
• Modernization: voting system

The governmental reforms are free to be seen in the Dharma Manual (page 24~30): https://forumcontent.paradoxplaza.com/public/387428/PDX_EUIV_Dharma_Manual_ENG.pdf

As #517 pulls, a new file is added: DharmagovernmentMapping.txt.

It is supposed to check out what reforms a country has and then calculating the probability to choose a government or the other. Each reform has a government mapped. If the country has that reform, a +1 is added to the probability of the government.

In a hypothetical case, having 5 points for Absolute Monarchy, 4 for HM's, the country will become an Absolute Monarchy. If no points could be found, the converter should default to Absolute Monarchy.

Although, the old governmentMapping.txt is kept for any file that is up to 1.25, for legacy purposes and for anybody preferring a pre-Dharma save for conversion.

Resurrecting this issue, it seems that in Dharma saves a country history will feature this, regardless of using the DLC or not:

    NOV={
        government_rank=1
        government_name="russian_republic"
        subject_focus=0
        ...

The government_name field could be used to determine what to map in saves that show to be of at least 1.26 version, as stated inside them at line 6

savegame_version={
    first≥1
    second≥26
...

Such new mappings are as in the pastebin following: https://pastebin.com/dFB3YgG2
