Subject: [PATCH] Prevent Attack Spam (#977)

## Description:
This PR assigns a small cost (1% of population) to creating each new
attack. This nerfs the strategy of spamming 1% size attacks against an
enemy to max pop growth and encourages more normal >10% attack sizes.
## Please complete the following:

- [x] I have added screenshots for all UI updates
- [x] I process any text displayed to the user through translateText()
and I've added it to the en.json file
- [x] I have added relevant tests to the test directory
- [x] I confirm I have thoroughly tested these changes and take full
responsibility for any bugs introduced
- [x] I understand that submitting code with bugs that could have been
caught through manual testing blocks releases and new features for all
contributors

## Please put your Discord username so you can be contacted if a bug or
regression is found:
