Rename 'Saddle' to differentiate it from the Glossamer Saddle and War Saddle

by that logic, the axe / pickaxe should be renamed to basic axe / basic pickaxe due to the presence of their golden variants and the moon glass axe

Good point!  "Basic" or "Flint" would work.  I might even say "pick" instead of "pickaxe" since there is no axe involved.  In the real world, the non-pick end is usually an adze, making a pickaxe more like a mattock than an axe.  The "axe" part was added in Middle English, so "pick" has historical precedent if you go back far enough (Latin picus meaning 'woodpecker').  In the game, it would also help differentiate the pick from the Thelucite pick/axe.

My motivation re: Saddle is from editing the wiki pages:

https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Beefalo#Tendencies

and

https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Saddle

Those pages discuss saddles in general and each type of saddle in particular, one of which is a Saddle.  It's just easier to talk about something when the wording is unambiguous, both verbally and in the written form (it's hard to pronounce the difference between 'saddle' and 'Saddle' and surprising capitalization makes one think too much).  Consistency can eliminate confusion here.  In the great scheme of things, this is low importance, but I expect it would also be a very minor change.
