Legacy Maps Installer

Optional installer to bring back legacy map data that can be necessary for authors of scenarios and maps from previous Steel
Beasts versions who intend to update and convert their creative work.  This does not add “new” maps, it replaces legacy map data to the old locations to make it possible to convert scenarios from pre 4.1 versions.
