(6-08a) Update Field Gun Art To Rifled Cannon

[Rekk]

Counterproposal to:

(6-08) Change The Field Gun Unit's Art

The current VP field gun unlocks in early Industrial era and uses this icon: It is a French soixante-quinze, a WWI-era field gun. Proposal: We should change the Field Gun's unit model and icon to the one used by the Enlightenment Era mod. EE field Gun's icon: This appears to be an American...

	Current:	Proposed	Rational
Cannon Model		unchanged	Gun Model is of a Renaissance era cannon, Soldiers are wearing era appropriate uniforms
Field Gun Model			Current gun model and uniform match WWI (modern) era guns New gun model and uniforms match the civil war (industrial) era and the coloring is sufficiently different from the cannon model
Cannon Icon		unchanged	Still a good silhouette of the model
Field Gun Icon			Change to match
Cannon Portrait			Probably the most controversial change, but the portrait now matches the model.
Field Gun Portrait			This portrait actually matches the civil war era model better than it does the renaissance era model.

The proposed model and unit flag icon already exist in the Firaxis game files in the Civil War Scenario, so the only thing needed is to update the database entries to the proper values (similar to how we used the Airship from the Empires of the Smoky Skies Scenario). Would still need to introduce the portrait from the EE modmod.

I will find and provide the necessary database values to the sponsor. Tried to make this unit before and couldn't figure it out.
