Make strength increase grenade max range

Due to the primitive state of explosives technology in the early-modern (c. 14th-18th centuries) period, grenadiers were usually soldiers selected for their size and strength. It was important for them to be strong enough to throw grenades with enough force that they didn't fall short and land near friendlies.

Therefore, I suggest to make strength increase the range of thrown grenades. It makes no sense for my tiny undead female mage to be able to throw a grenade as far as a big beefy Orc.

Also, grenades that use the item icon that looks like the Model 24 "potato masher" grenade (namely iron and thorium grenades) should get an increase in max range. The handle on these grenade types provided extra leverage that let soldiers throw them further, the downside being that their bigger size meant fewer of them could be carried. So in exchange, they should only stack to 5, not 10.

I think these changes will go a long way for providing a more immersive experience to engineers.
