rP24898: Increase the cose of cavalry/infantry levy techs.

Summary

I'm not sure if this was a mistake or not. Persia conscription is no longer supersedes levy infantry / cavalry, which seems a little wrong, as they are two similar technologies and make sense together.
This patch restores the necessity seach levy infantry / cavalry before of conscription.

EDIT

Since we can no longer include changes to a24 (first patch), then I propose a balance of these two techs. In a23 the training decreased by 20% but a reduction of health in 5%. Mow we have a reduction of 10% of training without penalty in health. Conscription is a similar tech and cost 500 food, so 100 seems to me almost "non-existent" cost. The proposal of the patch is to increase it to 300 food and to a25 it must be a requirement for persia conscription.

The current patch (a food cost increase) seems fine, I have no objections.
As for the original patch, though, why is it necessary that these two Persian town-phase technologies must be superseded by the shared city-phase technologies? Soldier training time and structure batch training time modifier are not exactly the same thing.

They are not necessary, but it seems to me more interesting that way I a little more "clean".
