Subject: [PATCH] Switch default laser projectiles to beam variants

Update WeaponDefs_Laser.xml to use beam projectile types for laser weapons. Replaces various <defaultProjectile> entries (e.g. FCP_Bullet_Laser -> FCP_Beam_Laser, FCP_Bullet_Laser_S -> FCP_Beam_Laser_S, FCP_Bullet_MF_Breeder -> FCP_Beam_MF_Breeder, and specific gatling entries -> FCP_Beam_Gatling_Laser) so laser weapons spawn beam projectiles instead of bullet variants. This aligns projectile behavior/visuals with intended laser weapon effects.
