rP23713: Make wall segment cost proportional.
Summary

Currently short:medium:long wall segments have a 1:2:3 wall length, health, and build time ratio, however, they cost 15:22:28 stone, which means that shorter walls are disproportionally more expensive to build and repair. Moreover, Mauryan walls (10:20:30 wood) and Roman siege walls (20:40:60 wood) do have a 1:2:3 cost ratio. This patch therefore does that for default city wall segments too, to 12:24:36 stone and time, corresponding to the wall lengths.
Furthermore, palisade costs are made proportional as well (4:8:12 wood and time).
See also D2687. Siege wall wood costs are unchanged.

Test Plan

Agree this is an improvement.

Consistency is a good thing and this patch adds more consistency. There aren't any big cost changes or anything that could severely affect balance.
