List stats used by racial abilities in race descriptions.

Currently, the chargen screen implicitly encourages players to choose their race based on that race's stat bonuses (and how they fit into the stat requirements of their class.) This is generally a bad plan; the important thing for a race isn't usually their stat bonuses, but their racial abilities; and the best race / class combinations have synergies between their racial abilities and class abilities.
While mapping out all possible synergies is clearly outside the scope of race descriptions, I think it would be useful to add a sentence to each mentioning the stats that are most important for their racial abilities, just like we list the stats that are most important for each class.
