Add descriptions and mentalities to added Agents: Clamp-O-Tron, FreeFall Parachutes, LightYear Tire Company, Stratus Corporation (#333)
All agencies are given descriptions and mentalities close to stock agencies. For mentalities, I wanted to give them ones mainly focused on earning Reputation, since almost every other agency is cash-focused (and nobody does contracts for science anyway).
The average number of mentalities across the 27 stock agencies was ~3, so I gave each new agent 2-4 mentalities.
There is also one manufacturer change - the Inline Docking Port's manufacturer has changed from Clamp-O-Tron to C7 Aerospace Division. This is to match with the Mk2 Docking Port, and is also reflected by Clamp-O-Tron having a good standing with C7 Aerospace (product collaboration).
---
I also gave most of the agencies' standings with some other manufacturers (a feature only used a few times in the stock game)
- Clamp-O-Tron likes C7, as they have collaborated to make both of the inline docking ports.
- LightYear is competitive with Kerbal Motion, the only other wheel company, and strongly dislikes the C7 monopoly.
- Stratus has a good relationship with their parent company, Jeb's Junkyard, and is open to working together with them.
---
Here are a few more of the thoughts I came up with while brainstorming:
- Clamp-O-Tron references the now-unused "Found lying by the side of the road" manufacturer in their description
- FreeFall's chute policy is based on a real joke from the U.S. Navy about returning parachutes.
- Since most of the monopropellant tanks were changed from being made by Jeb's Junkyard to Stratus Corporation, I headcannoned that Stratus was a subsection of Jeb's that split off and started their own business.
- LightYear Tire Company references both Cars and Toy Story, due to that most likely being where the name came from.
---
No other languages other than English are added for now, but anyone who knows how to properly translate can add on to this PR if they want to. I didn't want to just run these descriptions through Google Translate and hope for the best...

#KSPCF_Agents_clampOTronDescription = Originally an admittedly boring magnet company, Clamp-O-Tron expanded into the aerospace industry after an engineer suggested using their magnets to "stick things together... but in SPACE!". The famed Clamp-O-Tron Docking Port has received numerous collaborations with well-known conglomerates, such as C7 Aerospace Division, to help bring the joy of clamping things together to your own space program and beyond. Clamp-O-Tron representatives would also like to remind the general public to "Please stop leaving our products on the side of the road", and to browse their online catalog instead if they wish to purchase any of their world-renowned docking ports.

#KSPCF_Agents_freeFallDescription = For when you find yourself free-falling through life (or out of a malfunctioning rocket), FreeFall Parachutes has you covered. Metaphorically, that is. From skydiving on Kerbin to landing probes on distant worlds, their parachutes are the go-to option for any budding space program. Despite their insistence on using 100% reclaimed materials for their chutes, having the brand is generally recognized as being a better option than lithobraking. They boast a generous policy on all their products: Any chute that fails to open during flight can be returned after landing for a partial refund! This policy has proven to be surprisingly unpopular with KSC astronauts, for some reason. FreeFall executives are still working on why that is.

#KSPCF_Agents_lightYearDescription = The major competitor with Kerbal Motion LLC in the "Round Wheels" market, LightYear Tire Company provides Piston Cup-rated rubber tires to the space center, at wholesale prices nonetheless. If you've ever smelled the sweet, sweet scent of burning rubber on the KSC tarmac, there's a good chance that it was from a LightYear tire. Their range of products includes multiple sizes of space-grade landing gear - shock absorbers and spotlights included at no additional cost, their brochure advertises. LightYear is currently locked in a struggle with C7 Aerospace as the conglomerate repeatedly attempts to acquire the company. LightYear is one of the few independent manufacturers left that hasn't been absorbed by the titan of the aerospace world.

#KSPCF_Agents_stratusCorpDescription = Originally part of Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spacecraft Parts Co., the Stratus Corporation has only recently left the nest to pursue bigger goals out in the aerospace world. While not the largest fuel supplier in the market, Stratus earned its reputation by cementing itself as one of the few manufacturers to experiment with Monopropellant. They've effectively cornered the market due to the apparent lack of interest in this fuel type. Regardless, they currently have a lucrative deal with the KSC to supply all Monopropellant fuel for our astronauts' EVA packs and command pods. Their flagship line, the 'Stratus-V' series of tanks, won them several awards at last year's 3rd annual Fuel Tanks & Swimming Pools Expo.
