Set save directory to FLHDE folder as default via flplusplus.ini #143

Per a suggestion on the Discord from Callum: image Text:

Callum — Today at 4:51 PM Hi, since you're using flplusplus already I would strongly recommend setting the save folder name, or ideally the save in game folder options by default when installing So people don't get their saves wiped by discovery etc.

As stated above, I think we should go ahead and set save_in_directory as true in flplusplus.ini to help prevent deleted save issues when Discovery or other heavy handed mods come into play. Thoughts?

Good proposal. One small issue I could potentially see occurring is that some players install HDE while they want to continue a vanilla storyline playthrough with existing saves. Since they may skip through the options without reading them, they may be wondering why their old saves aren't there anymore.

Callum suggested adding another option to copy existing FL saves to the new directory. I personally think a combination of this and changing the default option is a welcome change. In any case, the installer code needs to be updated, too.
