Overmind not spawning melee defenders for colony defence

Issue summary
Overmind is not spawning melee defenders and uses many ranged defenders to deal with attacks in an owned room.
Description of issue:
Overmind seems to prefer spawning numerous hydralisks to deal with a threat which could be dealt with using cheaper zerglings. Boosted dismantlers and attackers sitting next to the bunker can be repelled or killed by a single boosted zergling but Overmind always chooses to spawn tens of unboosted hydralisks to defend instead. The effectiveness of RMA quads can also be greatly reduced by having a boosted melee defender in the ramparts to stop them from getting in range 1 of the walls but overmind spawns many hydralisks which are unable to kill the squads.
Steps to reproduce:
Attack an Overmind using a boosted pair or squad. The overmind will respond by spawning large amounts of hydralisks.
Suggested fix (optional):
Make Overmind spawn melee defenders to keep enemies away from the bunker walls. Overmind should also utilise boosted defenders instead of spawning large amounts of unboosted defenders. I think overmind already has code for boosted defenders and melee defenders but it seems to be not in use.
