A Definitive version of Temples of the Aztec - AoE3: Definitive Edition (Custom Campaign Scenario)

This is my take on how to update the Temples of the Aztec scenario from the Age of Empires III campaign, which has not been updated in the Definitive Edition of the game.
The original Vanilla version was limited by the amount of content available, but there is no reason for things to remain so in the Definitive Edition, with so much new content introduced over time with the expansions now integrated into a single version.

Changes to players:
- Changed the Aztec's civilization from Native Americans to Aztecs.
- Changed Knights of Saint John's player color from blue to red, as it was the color they used historically.
- Changed the Spanish AI's color red to orange, as red was taken.

Changes to Aztec AI's units (starting and spawned):
- Changed the Aztec Chief unit to Aztec Warchief.
- Changed the Aztec Eagle Warriors to Otontin Slingers.
- Changed the Aztec Jaguar Warriors to Puma Spearmen.
- Changed the Carib Blowgunners to Coyote Runners.

Changes to the Aztec Army the player receives once the timer runs out:
- Legendary Jaguar Warriors changed to Legendary Skull Knights.
- Legendary Eagle Warriors changed to Legendary Jaguar Prowl Knights.
- Legendary Bolas Warriors changed to Legendary Arrow Knights.

Things I decided should remain as they are, to avoid disrupting the core gameplay:
- Aztec Temples
- Aztec Trading Post and all its functionalities.
- Units received from rescuing the prisoners.

Things I couldn't change in the Editor:
- Unit thumbnail icon for the Aztec Warchief.
- Knights of Saint John's flag (wanted to change it to the historically accurate flag)

Note: this is a custom scenario used as a proof of concept, not a campaign mod.
