Allow combat elephants to be garrisoned in CC & Elephant Stables

Description

The Mauryan civ has an Elephant Archer unit and a War Elephant (melee) unit. The War Elephant appears to be the same, in terms of gameplay mechanics, as in some other civs: Carthaginian, Seleucid, Ptolemies.

Although Worker Elephants can be garrisoned in the Civil Center or Elephant Stables, combat elephants (archer or melee) can't be.

  1. This seems quite unrealistic. Should horses be unable to be garrisoned in a horse stable?
  2. It makes combat elephants (especially the archers) almost useless because, if they can't be garrisoned, then they can't be healed that way. Since the elephants are slow-moving, they rapidly take damage in combat, so they can only be used in about 2 battles before dying.

I tried to use a healer once to heal the combat elephants, but I don't know if that is supported, since the elephants' health didn't seem to be increasing.

Because of the same fact that the elephants are slow-moving, they wouldn't be OP = overpowering if allowed to heal. They could still be killed in a large battle, and they will take a long time to walk to the garrisoning building & back.

The request is, "Allow combat elephants to be garrisoned in CC & Elephant Stables."

As of r18286, elephants can be garrisoned in elephant stables. Other buildings are still controversial and likely won't be added.
