Breaking changes

• sdvx: disable sdvx landscape option #303
  • It turns out, forcibly launching SDVX in landscape fullscreen resolution messes up the in-game camera logic, causing the lanes to look very zoomed out. Until workarounds are found, the -sdvxlandscape option is being removed to avoid confusion.
  • Starting with this build, -sdvxlandscape will result in a fatal error to inform the user, so they can rotate their monitor before launching the game again.
  • That being said, -forceresswap remains in the configurator, which accomplishes the exact same thing.
• cfg: use %appdata%\spice2x for new config files #300
  • The main config file spicetools.xml is remaining in %appdata%, but the other JSON config files are moving to a subfolder.
  • This only affects new files being saved; existing files will not be moved & will continue to be read from there.
  • It should be noted that if you have old copies of spicetools or spice2x, they will not read from the new subfolder, so please watch out for that.
