MekHQ Story Arcs Beta Release v0.3

We are ready for a new release of the MekHQ story arc feature. This one has lots of improvements. Some highlights:

• Better bot behavior in scenarios
• Tweaking of some scenarios for difficulty and size
• Better explanation at the beginning of campaign and game options
• Fix of bug where story arcs sometimes failing to progress on scenario completion
• Correction of a variety of small errors, such as incorrect maps and missions not closing
• A host of grammatical and spelling corrections

The release below can be used to beta test the story arc feature for MekHQ. Unix and Mac users should use the non-Windows release. From the first splash screen, select "Load Story Arc" and choose the "Young Wolves" story arc.

Please play through the story arc and identify issues, bugs, grammatical errors, etc. Feel free to play through multiple times and make different choices. We recommend making multiple saves throughout so you can go back and make different choices to explore all the possible outcomes.

We are interested in two kinds of feedback:

• If you find a specific bug or error, please report this as an issue here. Please note that you are not providing issues for the main MekHQ repository on GitHub. Please ensure that your issue is not addressed by existing issues. Please include the version number of the Story Arcs beta in your release. Detailed information including how to reproduce the bug will help us in resolving it. Please only report bugs related to the story arc.
• If you have overall feedback on the story arc itself that goes beyond a simple bug such as a comment on the narrative, difficulty of the scenarios, etc. we would also appreciate your feedback. You can either provide that feedback on the pinned forum topic of the MegaMek subforum on the CGL Battletech forums, on the Story Arcs channel of the MegaMek Discord, or in the linked discussion board below.

IMPORTANT!!!
This is NOT a development release and is NOT eligible for MILESTONE status. So what does this mean? Simply, it has code from the still in development 0.49.19-DEV which is NOT the 0.49.19 release (notice the missing -DEV). Which means this is bleeding edge code very similar to our nightly releases. It does have a lot of bug fixes and improvements over the 0.49.18 release, including fixes for the aerospace issues in MegaMekLab. But this release should ONLY be used for playing and testing Story Arcs.
