Rewrite scenario descriptions in natural mission-brief prose

179 packs (612 level descriptions) handcrafted from robotic
predicate-dump style into natural mission-brief prose. Each
level's description preserves win/fail predicates, actor
composition, and the preserved comment block — only the
top-level 'description:' string changes.

Style shift:

BEFORE: 'Enemy includes 3 rocket soldiers. Destroy the enemy
construction yard in the target zone. Keep at least 2 unit
alive. Within about 60 turns.'

AFTER: 'Three rocket soldiers patrol the front. Their
construction yard sits undefended behind them — flank through
the fog and demolish it without losing more than two units.
About 60 turns.'

Stats across 612 rewritten levels: mean=48.4 words, median=50,
p10/p90=33/62, min/max=5/80.

Also fixes 58 unintentional YAML folded-scalar artefacts where
a line break inside 'description: >' split a hyphenated word
(e.g. 'anti-\n tank' → 'anti- tank' on parse). Closed up via
'(\\w)-\\n(\\s+)(\\w)' → '\\1-\\3' replacement across 47
files. Two intentional uses ('A one- or two-turn delay',
'Over- or under-producing') preserved.

All 210 pack files re-validate clean via
openra_bench.scenarios.validate.
