Moar slight changes

Some minor fixes to code implemented last update

Updated mission used to create DBs. There should no longer be any unit
names that are the same as group names.

Dynamically generated names will now be indexed accordingly to their
category. Used to be just a single counter shared between all.

Several changes and fixes to dynAddStatic
-Fixed function wasn't working when given certain params.
-fixed country checker to better account for country names with spaces.
This fix was applied to dynAdd but not dynAddStatic, I corrected this.
-Optimized it slightly. Trimmed the fat of some of the code.
