data(content): rebalance 5 thin afrikaans systems to MENA heritage (#1019)

Browse Source 
The corridor over-represented southern-African heritage (afrikaans on 15
systems; arab=2, persian/turkic=0) as an artifact of the earlier
name-balancing overcorrecting. Convert five genuinely-thin afrikaans
systems — whose distinctive threads are heritage-agnostic — into
Arab/Persian/Turkic founders so the cultural cascade is built on a
balanced set. Load-bearing mystery systems (Eerste Wacht / Helderoog /
Brandpunt etc.) are left untouched.

  Droëland  (GJ 914A)  -> Marib    (arab)
  Stilwater (GJ 508A)  -> Sawad    (arab)
  Koeberg   (GJ 1245B) -> Akhgar   (persian)
  Skuilplek (GJ 722)   -> Siginak  (turkic)
  Carnarvon (GJ 680)   -> Golestan (persian; Mostert dynasty -> Farahani)

Result: afrikaans 15->10; arab 0->2, persian 0->2, turkic 0->1.

Full narrative retouch (not just names): gttr.md + index.md prose,
body/station proper_names, cultural_specialization, gttr_hook,
atlas_city_names, and the four brand-corps named after the converted
systems (corp IDs kept stable; only display names + products renamed).
Cross-references in neighbour systems, the catalog, the aggregate
drifter guides, and the atlas proposals are updated to match.

arab/persian/turkic added to _CULTURAL_HERITAGE so the values validate;
the full canonical 47-value migration remains #1016.

Also fixes a pre-existing canon bug: Sawad (GJ 508A) no longer claims
GJ 914A is "unsettled" — it is Marib, a three-century settlement.
