Make min/max age a config.

Your selectable age as a character is hardcoded to be between 17 and 85. It seems reasonable that someone running TG code may want to raise these numbers.

If you are under 14 then the Dwarfism mutation is automatically applied.

This change is definitely not a necessity. But as I was investigating relevant code during the latest drama, I found that it wasn't a config, and I figured it was weird to have age hardcoded like that. I'm not trying to make a call to action to change the age min.

Please don't make the age config. The only people I trust less to be sensible with it than coders are headmins. Before you know it they'll have min-max set from 0-1000.

For gameplay reasons the current system works fine, both smoking & drinking restrictions, and being aged up to be dusted by old timer drink work in a balanced way within the parameters, going over or under will just start breaking the systems and worse yet the roleplay and standards in general (if we had any).
