Mcstruct formats

mcstruct: shipped def-files

Every def-file below is in src/panel-plugins/mcstruct/data/ and is found by the signature or name pattern in stl.als. They are part of mc and come under the GPL-3.0-or-later. Most were written after the format descriptions of the Kaitai Struct formats gallery (the "source" column names the .ksy); data/NOTICE credits those sources. A "partial" file shows the part of the format that STL5 can describe today.
