Hey, guys.

So I've been meaning to improve the mod system for a while now.

Currently, we have four mod folders, not counting autoload:

mods/global/
mods/campaign/
mods/multiplay/
mods/music/

And the user has to decide which folder to put their mod in. Now this
is just nonsensical. The mod maker should be the one to decide what
kind of mod they have, not the user.

So the fix is simple, we rename mods:

modname.mod.wz -> multiplay mod
modname.cam.wz -> campaign mod
modname.gmod.wz -> global mod
modname.music.wz -> music mod (we might want to rename this, since
these are really just all mods that affect skirmish/MP, but don't
break MP compatibility)

Much easier on users, and simpler directory structure since these mods
can go directly in mods/.

We can still support the old mod directory format, and any mod not
ending in one of these extensions in the new directory will just be
treated as a global mod.

Thoughts?
