Resources: Perform legacy savegame conversion in the background
Improved conversion mechanism using a background TaskPool. Each savegame conversion is handled using a separate concurrent task, scheduled via Doomsday Script in bootstrap.de
A resource system ConvertSavegameTask delegates the conversion to a Doomsday savegame converter plugin.
The Savegame Converter plugin now executes Savegame Tool using a subprocess which blocks until conversion is completed.
ResourceSystem observes the conversion task pool, repopulating the file system automatically whenever the pool is empty.
Todo: There is presently an active plugin id conflict, caused by the concurrently running conversion tasks, which results in game registration failures during startup.
