Aiglathing loses his hero ellipse upon advancement

From S03, "Breakthrough", on my current 1.16 playthrough:

This is pretty minor

Aiglathing uses the {IS_HERO} macro for his hero ellipse, which apparently is the cause for this:

The {IS_HERO} ellipse is also used in this campaign for: Dulatus, Delfador, Kalenz, Parandra, and Elara.

So yeah it turned out that this is a bug on Wesnoth's end that should get fixed in the next releases; I'm leaving this open for the releases to land, and/or for me to decide if I want to add any compatibility code for players with old saves.

ok so yeah I can confirm that this is fixed as of Wesnoth 1.16.6; I'm not going to bother with any compatibility code
