dafit 62dcee5fbf feat: Add Universal Translator speech style guides
Add 15 YAML files for SkyrimNet Universal Translator:
- 10 racial profiles (Nord, Imperial, Breton, Redguard, Altmer,
  Bosmer, Dunmer, Orsimer, Argonian, Khajiit)
- 5 faction profiles (Bandit, Pirate, Vampire_Mad, Vampire_Cunning,
  Forsworn)

Style guide format provides vocabulary banks and speech rules
rather than example lines, allowing LLM to generate authentic
dialogue instead of repeating scripted phrases.
