D&D: weighted race-balance pass — tune races to equal effective power

Browse Source 
Flat net ability mods aren't equal *effective* power: a +1 in a stat a
build uses beats a +1 in a dump stat. Add dnd_race_balance.go, which
scores each race's mods against a 60/40 blend of per-class combat stat
priorities and class-independent non-combat utility (zone locks,
expedition harvest, skill checks, haggling).

Retune all races so their mean score across playable classes lands
within ±0.5 of the Standard Human baseline (6.0); best-fit/worst-fit
spread is kept as intentional race identity. TestRaceBalance logs the
report and asserts the rule.

// The weighted balance pass (dnd_race_balance.go) scores each race's mods
// against a blend of per-class combat priorities and class-independent
// non-combat utility (zone locks, harvest, skills, haggling). These blocks
// are tuned so every race's mean score across all playable classes lands
// near the Standard Human baseline of 6.0. Net mod totals vary (Elf +7,
// Orc +6) — a spiky race concentrated into high-value stats needs fewer
// points to match a flat one.
