Introduced superspecialists concept. RM #1375

Superspecialists are typically much better than regular specialists, but player can't turn workers to superspecialists at will. Instead, superspecialists are granted via methods like lua scripting, or they are present in a scenario city.

New CityStatus requirement type value CapitalConnected RM #1373

This is the first ruleset author visible feature of the new accessarea concept.

For example, if ruleset uses unit able to move only Roads as the unit determining the access areas, then CityStatus CapitalConnected will be true for those cities that are connected to the capital by a Road network.
