Many base traits don't have leader_trait_somethingsomething_machine or _machine_desc #42

There's plenty of text in the game for traits that have custom "machine" content. Usually instead of "leader", the language is "unit"

In making tooltips at scale, there's not a great way around this except to simply use the game default text that doesn't refer to machines. At least during gameplay when players inspect their leaders, the tooltips will be saying the "correct" things.

Iterate localisation files in English,

search lines .*trait.*_machine:, harvest the tooltip key. Infer _desc. drop _machine and just keep the trait base name.

Then during tooltip construction check this file for the trait base name, if there's a match, append _machine and _machine_desc to descriptors.
