New EVA voice after deploying a building

[FS-21]

• You can now replace the current EVA voice when a specific building is placed/deployed.
• If any buiding is undeployed/sold/destroyed EVA voice will be evaluated again looking all the NewEVAVoice.Index.
• NewEVAVoice.Index is the index of the new EVA voice. Ares is hightly recomended because these indexes are reading the new section [EVATypes] at evamd.ini introduced by Ares. Look at Ares documentation regarding new EVA voices for more information.
• In case of multiple buildings with different NewEVAVoice.Index EVA voices then NewEVAVoice.Priority establish a priority queue, being the highest value the selected one.
• NewEVAVoice.RecheckOnDeath re-checks a new EVA voice after the destruction/undeployment of of of these buildings.
• NewEVAVoice.InitialMessage plays an EVA message to the player when a different EVA has been selected.

In rulesmd.ini:

[SOMEBUILDING]                    ; BuildingType
NewEVAVoice.Index=                ; integer
NewEVAVoice.Priority=1            ; integer
NewEVAVoice.RecheckOnDeath=false  ; boolean
NewEVAVoice.InitialMessage=       ; EVA entry

The EVA voice change logic should be generalized and put in a separate function from buildings, probably in SideExt or something. Firestorm has a map trigger for this purpose and I suppose someone might want to reimplement that here as well.

Some smaller things to take note of as well.

Since Ares already has Map trigger actions for changing these voices like in Firestorm I only focused in learning how to change it and apply this logic for buildings like in the video, not reimplementing again the EVA voices.

Let me see the SideExt you mentioned because I remember one of the first attempts was storing data in that place but things happened that made me move the code and I ended here.

Applied feedback and updated documentation and initial message here.

The missing bit I have to do now is that suggestion of moving the code into a separated function from buildings to SideExt for future changes/additions, etc.

Moved the UpdateMainEvaVoice(...) function to SideExt.
