We should strive to use the proper chemical name of each substance instead of any kind of slang name. This PR shows what the DB would look like if we replaced all slang names with their proper chemical name.

EG: LSD becomes lysergic acid diethylamide in drugs.json and combos.json
IE: This will not affect descriptions that mention "lsd", only the key, name, pretty name, and combo info

I generally like this change, but as I've been doing these formatting scripts I've been mulling around the idea that we keep combos.json in the slang names, and then we would have a formatting script run and take the slang names from combos.json and populate drugs.json with the chemical names? Idk, just a thought

So this PR is here for people to review but i don't suggest we actually merge this right now

The output of changes with the above logic is followed.
Note that ~ means "modified", so "the script modified alcohol to be ethanol"

~ alcohol   = ethanol
~ amt       = alpha-methyltryptamine
~ dmt       = dimethyltryptamine
~ ghb/gbl   = gamma hydroxybutyrate
~ ghb/gbl   = gamma-butyrolactone
~ lsd       = lysergic acid diethylamide
~ mdma      = 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine
~ mushrooms = psilocybin mushrooms
~ mxe       = methoxetamine
~ pcp       = phencyclidine
