[MC-46901] Amount of killed mobs in statistics menu is in singular instead of plural

The bug

Look at the screenshot here. You killed 2 Zombie. That isn't right. Shouldn't it be "You killed 2 Zombies"? I realize this is extremely picky but since a lot of kids play MC, I think it would be nice to have everything grammatically correct.

Confirmed.

The reason for this is probably due to the different ways of having plural nouns. The language file would need to add plural mob names.

A simpler fix that wouldn't require adding a new string for plural versions of every entity is using "×", "You killed AMOUNT × ENTITY"
