Default SE3 mod for SE4

The goal of this is to include as much from SE3 as possible.
Re-Mods can be done later, and should be done elsewhere.

Some basics:
- Direct fire weapons can all be copied easily.
- Shields and regenerators can be copied.
- Hull sizes, C&C requirements, engines per move and engine limits can be copied, along with cost and other modifiers.
- E-build removed (100% ebuild, 100% slowbuild)
- Construction points: Organic and Rad resources removed, leaving one resource; minerals = construction points
- construction centers provide resource storage.
- Population bonus levels

Some harder items:
- Missiles can be set to infinite range, provided that mounts are used to bring the launch range back down.
- Construction... build tiny ship-cores and then retrofit on all the components to repair over time?
- supply... engines and weapons use none, but supplies degrade over time (somehow)
- armor layer: limited armor, probably through the X-Per-Ship limits. Additional armor components would be limited to leaky-style only.
- Spaceyard at 100M population
- Asteroid colonies; incompatible with planet creation/destruction tech, but easy otherwise.

Some "maybe" items:
- Resampled SE3 components and facilities, brought up to SE4 mini and portrait sizes.
- multiply hitpoints and damage by 10x so that the combat bar graphs work better.


PS:
please add suggestions for SE3 features to include, and ideas on how to do some of the hard items.
