- (#7054) Add ability to show allied intel in strategic overlay

By default the intel of allied structures is shared. This default is chosen to make players aware of the new features without cluttering the screen. The game option can be found under Interface -> HUD.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Fix changelog snippet format to unblock CI.

The docs pipeline already fails on this file with “Invalid format for changelog file”. Please rewrite this snippet to the repository’s expected changelog snippet template (same format as other files in changelog/snippets).

In `@changelog/snippets/feature.7054.md` around lines 1 - 3, Replace the freeform
text in changelog/snippets/feature.7054.md with the repository's changelog
snippet template used by other files in changelog/snippets: add the required
front-matter fields (e.g., pull_request: 7054, type: feature, and relevant
category/area keys) then a short description body summarizing the change ("Add
ability to show allied intel in strategic overlay" and the default behavior and
UI location). Use the same YAML/front-matter keys and format as the other
snippets in changelog/snippets so the docs pipeline accepts it.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Tooltip key name does not match the option key mapping.

Line 854 uses options_show_allied_intel_in_strategic_overlay, but the option key is intel_overlay_allies. With the current naming pattern, this prevents automatic tooltip lookup for the new option.

[suggested fix]

Rename tooltip key to match the option key 
-options_show_allied_intel_in_strategic_overlay = {
+options_intel_overlay_allies = {
     title = "<LOC Show_Allied_Intel_Title>Show Allied Intel in Strategic Overlay",
     description = "<LOC Show_Allied_Intel_Description>Toggles the display of allied intel in the strategic overlay.",
 },
