Replace single-inflection corridor palettes with lists of sub-styles.
Each system picks one deterministically via hash(system_id), so all
bodies in the same system share a cultural register but neighbouring
systems get different registers.
Core corridor splits into 6 sub-styles (English rural, British
colonial, US rural, US cosmopolitan, classical/institutional,
Australian/NZ). North/south/east/west reach each get 5 sub-styles
covering their cultural spectrum. Deep frontier gets 3 (founder-name,
surveyor-descriptive, outpost-functional).
This multiplies Gemma's effective vocabulary per corridor by the
sub-style count, dramatically reducing dedup pressure. A 6-style
core corridor means each sub-style serves ~4 systems instead of 24,
so "The Ridge" exhausts after ~4 systems, not ~24.
