SmArtKarandGitHub 61dddb6d80 Buffs goliaths and goldgrubs as mounts (#96540)
## About The Pull Request

Goliaths now continuously accelerate as long as you keep moving in the
same direction while riding, up to 4 times their normal speed. Changing
directions or stopping movement resets the speed boost, but slow turns
(such as north -> northeast) only drop your speed by half, which lets
you preserve your momentum by "drifting"

Goldgrubs are already pretty decent mounts, but still could use a bit of
a buff to compete with green raptors, so I've changed them to reset
their movement cooldown when mining, which should slightly boost their
speed when mining soft rocks.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Goliaths are atrocious as mounts and haven't been relevant since raptors
were introduced, and this adds a fun little gimmick to them. The
goldgrub buff should let them be slightly more useful as dedicated
digging mobs.

## Changelog
