feat(traits): add 12 custom death reasons and 15 nicknames

Add Mistborn-specific death reasons (Allomantic combat, Inquisitor
execution, mist sickness, pewter drag, hemalurgic sacrifice, atium
overdose, ashfall, koloss attack, Pits of Hathsin, rebellion, Lord
Ruler's wrath, smoker failure). Add 15 custom nicknames (the Survivor,
Ash Lord, Sliver of Infinity, the Ascendant, etc.). Suppress vanilla
nicknames via replace_path to prevent immersion-breaking medieval
titles. Full localization with lore descriptions for all entries.

+ # ========== CUSTOM DEATH REASONS ==========
+
+ death_allomantic_combat:0 "Killed by Allomantic power"
+ death_allomantic_combat_desc:0 "Struck down by the metallic arts — Pushed, Pulled, burned, or broken by an Allomancer's power. In the Final Empire, few deaths are as swift or as absolute."
+
+ death_inquisitor_execution:0 "Executed by a Steel Inquisitor"
+ death_inquisitor_execution_desc:0 "Taken by the Canton of Inquisition and put to death. The Inquisitors do not ask questions they do not already know the answers to. Their spikes are the last thing their victims see."
+
+ death_mist_sickness:0 "Succumbed to the mists"
+ death_mist_sickness_desc:0 "The mists took this one. Some who venture into the deepest mists sicken and waste away, their bodies failing as if the very air turned against them."
+
+ death_pewter_drag:0 "Died of pewter drag"
+ death_pewter_drag_desc:0 "The pewter ran out, and the body remembered every wound it had been ignoring. Pewter drag — the Thug's final payment. The metal giveth strength, and in the end, the metal taketh it all back."
+
+ death_hemalurgic_sacrifice:0 "Sacrificed in a hemalurgic rite"
+ death_hemalurgic_sacrifice_desc:0 "Killed with a spike through the heart so that another might steal their power. Hemalurgy demands a life for every gift. This one was the price."
+
+ death_atium_overdose:0 "Burned out by atium"
+ death_atium_overdose_desc:0 "Burned too much atium, too fast. The god metal consumed them — their mind shattered by seeing too many futures at once, their body unable to contain the power of Preservation and Ruin."
+
+ death_ashfall:0 "Buried in ash"
+ death_ashfall_desc:0 "The ashmounts care nothing for the affairs of mortals. When the ash falls heavy enough to bury fields and collapse roofs, some do not dig themselves out."
+
+ death_koloss_attack:0 "Torn apart by koloss"
+ death_koloss_attack_desc:0 "Killed by koloss — massive, blue-skinned Hemalurgic creatures of mindless fury. They do not capture. They do not negotiate. They simply destroy."
+
+ death_pits_of_hathsin:0 "Perished in the Pits of Hathsin"
+ death_pits_of_hathsin_desc:0 "Died in the crystalline caverns beneath the Pits of Hathsin, mining atium geodes in darkness and despair. The Pits are considered inescapable. Almost no one has ever proved that wrong."
+
+ death_rebellion:0 "Killed in the rebellion"
+ death_rebellion_desc:0 "Struck down in the chaos of rebellion — noble or skaa, the uprising does not distinguish. When the oppressed rise, those who stood above them fall."
+
+ death_lord_ruler_wrath:0 "Destroyed by the Lord Ruler"
+ death_lord_ruler_wrath_desc:0 "The Sliver of Infinity turned his attention upon this one, and that was the end of it. A thousand years of absolute power, and the Lord Ruler's wrath is as certain as the ash."
+
+ death_smoker_failure:0 "Exposed and eliminated"
+ death_smoker_failure_desc:0 "The coppercloud failed — or was never there. A Seeker found the pulse, the Inquisitors followed it, and the hidden Allomancer was hidden no more."
