• Updated the Short Circuit to use the Engineer's melee taunt
• Updated The Scotsman's Skullcutter to use the Demoman's secondary taunt

And yet still no taunts for the Scout's alternate secondaries or jarate. Especially egregious in the first case since the Scout's pistol taunt already doesn't have him holding anything.
