SimpMapIcons + LoadScreens -fixed patch

A basic XML patch to allow Simple Map Markers and LoadScreens -fixed to work together. Must be placed 'below' / loaded after them in the load order to work as intended.

---

A kenshi_images.xml is generally found in a mod if that mod wants to tell the game to load assets from a custom image set that does not overwrite a vanilla image set (to only replace a few icons or GUI elements) or the exact same coordinates within a modded image set don't match with the vanilla set it replaces (the author uses a different layout for their custom image set, etc).

You can think of the kenshi_images.xml like a physical address book. If you just want to replace a building with a shiny new one, no problem. It doesn't need a new address and you don't need a new address book. The problem is if you want to add new addresses to the book, or if you completely move a building. In either of those cases, you're going to need a completely new edition of your address book to include the new or changed addresses.

This patch has both of said edits. It adds new listed addresses for the additional Loading Screens -fixed assets, and it changes the listed addresses of vanilla's map icons to point toward Simple Map Markers assets.

This was done by starting from the bottom of the Loading Screens -fixed kenshi_images.xml and overwriting it based on edits done to Simple Map Markers's kenshi_images.xml (—simple enough that even I could do it).

* If you don't notice what's promised, or something else goes wrong after adding this patch, then there's something else in your load order that's overwriting the kenshi_images.xml or an unrelated kenshi_images.xml is being overwritten by this one.

>> This won't "break" anything, but it will replace any kenshi_images.xml loaded before it.

>> Place under mods with image-related assets in your load order (just in case they have a custom kenshi_images.xml file).
related assets:
・ Title Screens
・ Loading Screens
・ Splash Screens (the logo credits as you load up the game)
・ Map Markers / Icons
・ Custom Mouse skins (appearance changes for the cursor/pointer in-game)
・ some GUI icons (apparently?)
・ Front Overlays ("eaten alive" and "slave" status icons)

Even you can make this. I encourage it.
