Per-ship scale/speed factors and updated race/class doc

Browse Source 
Give each ship an explicit sprite scale (tuned per role so an
Interceptor/Gunship/Bomber/Support/Heavy reads the same size across
all 3 races, then reduced another 25% per feedback that ships felt
oversized) and a movement speed_factor pulled from a shared
SPEED_BY_ROLE table, so e.g. every race's Interceptor moves at the
same speed as every other race's. GameConfig carries both through to
ship_movement.gd, which now scales thrust/max_speed by the chosen
ship's factor.

Rewrite overview/racesclasses.md to match what's actually implemented:
real ship names/roles for Terran Republic and Vorg Swarm, fill in the
previously-undocumented Mechanos Sovereignty roster, and correct the
chosen-race list now that Vorg Swarm (bio/acid swarm, matching the
uploaded art) replaced Void Wraiths as the third chosen race.
