override, attach game .mpq files #1

So that the game does not load all .mpq files and uses the list of files to load

Needed to conveniently manage patches for a game such as TWOW HD project

I think this feature should be implemented by a launcher program. Not by a patcher.

It's not that hard tho, just rename .mpq to something else before launch the game. However I think I won't implement it for now.

This is useful if we want to store mpq modifications in other directories, and with more understandable file names, including conveniently managing the priority of loading files (by list) instead of renaming them in the required order

I sure agree it's useful, but I think it should be implemented in a .exe launcher program (like Battle.net), instead of a .dll loader.

On Turtle discord, there was a guy writing a launcher program not long ago. But he disappeared recently.

I was looking forward to his work...
