rP23997: Add some missing credits
Summary

This patch updates a few of the gui/credits/texts/*.json files:

  • The following persons are inserted under balancing:
  • The balancing and history “heads” are merged with their lists. While they probably were important years ago, nowadays these heads are shining through their absence, and listing them separately is not reflective of the current situation. Besides, there is a special.json credits file for special thanks.

If anyone else is missing, please let me know!

Test Plan

Agree.

I actually didn't had his name because he told me not to:

While I would like to remain unrecognized on the actual forum, maybe you could credit the society as "The European Castalia Society" under 'Miscellaneous' ?
...
So if next Alpha goes out without my new voices, then just credit the society as "The European Castalia Society" under 'Miscellaneous ' like we spoke of some time ago;

So I do not know.

I think removing them is kinda disrespectful...

It would be nice to display at least a birth and death year for them.

I think the move for existing credits is somewhat debatable, I'd prefer if you only added missing credits for now @Nescio , would be easier to commit :)

I don't think Ykkrosh was ever programming manager officially, nor leper.

Are these people still managing programming?
If not, then labelling them as such is misleading and not reflective of the current situation.
It could be renamed to "Former programming managers", but then it begs the question who's currently doing it.

New people should be credited and heads should also be in the list, however, heads should also be credited as such, even former heads.
