Since I am updating the GC presets for Opulent anyway for the new array, I am going to modify it to use the new fairychess include file.  To that end, I modified the include file to add a few new pieces.  I added Half_Duck and Knight_Wazir since Opulent requires those.  While I was at it, I added the three new pieces for Kevin's games that Aurelian has been working on: Elephant_Ferz, Elephant_Wazir, and Frog.

For reference, here are all the pieces currently supported by the fairychess include file (the notes in parenthesis are not part of the actual name):

Queen
Rook
Knight
Bishop
King
White_Pawn
Black_Pawn
White_Berolina_Pawn
Black_Berolina_Pawn
Cardinal (BN)
Marshall (RN)
Amazon (BRN)
Cannon
Vao
Wazir
Ferz
Camel
Camelrider
Dabbabah
Dabbabahrider
Elephant
Elephantrider
Nightrider
Dragon_Horse (BW)
Dragon_King (RF)
Eques_Rex (NFW)
Wizard (CF)
Champion (WDF)
Korean_Elephant
Chinese_Elephant
Giraffe (4,1 leaper)
Grasshopper
Short_Rook (R4)
Squirrel (NAD)
Spider (DA)
Spider-rider (DDAA)
Squire
Unicorn (BNN)
Zebra
Elephant_Ferz (FA)
Elephant_Wazir (WA)
Half_Duck (HFD)
Knight_Wazir (NW)
Frog (FH)
Griffon
Aanca
Leo (Cannon + Vao)
Mao
Moa
Murray_Lion

One small nit-pick, the Spider-rider has a dash while the other riders do not. Any objections if I correct this inconsistency?
