Localisation

New rebel types need the following localisation keys defined:

<rebel_type>_name: "<name of the rebels>"
<rebel_type>_army: "<name of the rebels> Army"
<demands_description>: "<very short description of their demands, like Increased Privileges>"
<demands_description>_desc: "<detailed description of their demands>"
