I want this, well before I have nukes, usually to forcibly remove AI
smallpox.  Currently the only way to do this is to starve the city to be
small then snap-buy a settler.

As for its effects: I propose: raze -> 50% chance of going into anarchy
in republic, 100% chance in Democracy, and regardless, immediate
barbarian in that area.

Also, I think Brian's right with the idea that "raze" means kill one
population (so my idea would be that razing that size 12 city would
produce 12 barbarian units, and a republic would have a 1/4096 chance of
not having fallen).
