Fix some mesanims, add secondary dialogue for shilop + wilough and add some missing checks

Why change the boys' dialogues? It matches RSC.

it matches release OSRS, the quest was never reworked before 2007 and guides seem to imply both of them talk (https://web.archive.org/web/20060111204932/http://www.runeweb.net/index.php?page=rs2-quest-gertrude "Ask why they won't tell and then pay them the 100 coins. They tell you that their secret play place is an old abandoned mill just east of the Jolly Boar Inn.")

Early RS2 quest guides only mention one of them talking.

2004 - only one talks - https://web.archive.org/web/20040821140746/http://www.runehq.com/viewquest.php?id=00177

02/2005 - only one talks - https://web.archive.org/web/20050222115027/http://runecrypt.com/index.php?pid=188

10/2005 - the two talk - https://web.archive.org/web/20070212045533/http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?rs2quest_id=30
2006 - the two talk - https://web.archive.org/web/20060220020332/http://www.zybez.net/quests.php?id=23

So I don't believe that's correct. And I reckon the quest (+cats) was reworked in april 2005 with the release of the catspeak amulet.

It's pretty easy to see only 1 talk if ones not in range (happens often in OSRS as well), also potential of them just copying guides made from RSC, multiple guides mention both of them talking (also the runeweb one was written before april 2005)

https://web.archive.org/web/20050102015304/http://www.runescapecommunity.com/index.php?showtopic=192140 (very explicitly mentions the other child talking!)

It would make more sense if it was something that wasn't possible at release (i.e. involving varbits, cutscenes) but it was possible and used in other quests (hazeels cult, fight arena), there's also no indication of the quest being reworked in April 05 (no mention in an update post, no graphical change)
