Pre-battle, allow to choose whether the main hero enters abattle mounted or on foot

[paidlancer]

Now that there's a pre-battle screen to move troops around and plan the battle, that screen can be expanded to pick whether the main hero joins the battle mounted or not. We could also separate between a mounted loadout and an unmounted loadout, e.g. if I start mounted, I start with the mounted loadout, to which I assigned say sword, lance, shield, whereas if I pick to join unmounted, say before a siege, I start with bow instead of the lance and a quiver of arrows.

A nice side feature would be to allow sharing items between loadouts, so say I can share the same body armor between mounted battle, unmounted battle, and civilian loadouts, if the item supports it.

When you're in the map screen before the battle starts, just open inventory to unequip your horse and change whatever gear you want. Then click "Attack enemy" or whatever it is.
I do this for companions too.

I'll get off the horse when it's dead.
